National reaction to Texas Tech’s loss to TCU: Rivalry between Horned Frogs-Red Raiders stays ‘weird’

By Brice Paterik

TCU’s seesaw win at Texas Tech on Saturday proved there’s no place like the road in this Big 12 rivalry, thanks in great measure to a fittingly uncharacteristic first quarter for both teams.

Since this rivalry resumed in 2012 when the Frogs joined the Big 12, the road team is 6-2 following TCU’s 33-31 win on Saturday.

TCU (5-5, 3-4 Big 12) scored in double digits in the first quarter for the first time since Sept. 28. Conversely, Texas Tech (4-6, 2-5) had outscored previous opponents 72-27 in the first quarter this season before falling behind 17-0 after one period.

National reaction?

The Austin newspaper didn't publish anything at all about TCU at TTech.

This town isn't flooded with TCU fans, but there are a lot of TTech fans around here. The 2 fan bases should be a pretty good slice of the paper's readership.

Maybe the paper is catering to the TTech fans, and protecting them from what must have been, from their point of view, a game that they would like to forget.
