Gameday Inventions by TCU

[Bonner4Prez]

Frog Alley - existed well before CDC, but he stole the idea and took it to UT with Bevo Blvd. I'm sure other schools have copied this as well, but not sure on specifics

Student section flags - pretty sure we were the first school that had this and has now been copied by ~50% of the NCAA


Am I missing anything?

 

[ShreveFrog]

The Goal Line Direct Snap Cluster Darn.

 

[tcudoc]

I believe others include the phonograph, the cotton gin, and the George Foreman grill.

 

[tyler durden]

No one else would dare copy our use of an unintelligible band announcer.

 

[Bob Sugar]

The Go Frogs guy.

 

[Frog45]

Fans b!tching about being asked to actually come into and stay at the game.

 

[TCUWIN]

I was hoping this was about the Frogs inventing a new offense for Big 12 play. Oh well, back to the basics.

I have no idea if we were the first college football stadium to do the student section flag/banner thing. We absolutely weren’t the first stadium in any sport to do it.

We did invent a new offense. Some inventions just are not useful.

The Frog Horn?

I feel like TCU was the first to do it in college football. I always saw it in European soccer. Not sure if other sports do it.

 

[Peacefrog]

I’m certain we were the first to hand out invisibility cloaks to half of the fans attending.

hopefully someone will invent black jackets in time for the cooler weather games and diced onions for the hot dogs at the baseball games

 

[PO Frog]

The Frog Horn?

Sit right above it for home football games. I know everyone loves it but I would prefer it to get nuked from orbit. It is absolutely ear-damaging when you are above it and I have to cover my little girl's ears (even with her headphones on) or she loses it. Really brutal.

 

[Portland Frog]

“And it’s 3rd Down!” announcement? Never heard it elsewhere before I heard It @ ACS.

I know University of Arizona basketball did it earlier than 2012, which is when TCU football started doing it. I cannot remember when Arizona football started doing it.

But it may not be a coincidence since CDC was at Arizona from 2000-2006.

The obvious one, which GP himself is credited with -- Bleacher Creatures running on field with team

 

[TooColdU]

We sure as hell didn’t invent school-colored overalls.

but for some reason, student section leaders felt the need to adopt the look.

Other schools do something similar. OkSt says "3rd and long for the visitor" in long yardage situations.

Funny because I know more than a couple Texas fans that hate that Bevo Blvd because fans aren’t getting into the stadium as early. Feel like I’ve heard that before from a different fan base...
