GameDay Thread: TCU at West Virginia

[Pharm Frog]

I get it but it’s a huge achievement to only be down 11 at this point.

This team is so soft. Urban Meyer pointing out something is wrong with this team.

The staff is soft. I don't think the players are. We typically get after it pretty good. GP's approach to this game appears once again to be lose 28-9 instead of 48-17.

Might Urban be angling for life in FW?

I heard he hired a Realtor and was looking at houses around campus.

Saw him at Chipotle with Donati. Definite smoke here.

 

[More Frogs the Better]

I'm not trying to really defend the guy but year 2 Kenny Hill was way better than year 1 Kenny Hill.

Sonny Dykes was here that year which was the only one of the last 5 seasons where we had a somewhat cohesive offense. At that stage of Kenny Hill's career, I have to believe that was more impactful toward his play that year than anything Sonny Cumbie taught him.

He grabbed the receiver 5 yards down the field on a 3rd and 17 play. Slight or not it was an absolutely terrible play. Should've never even been in that spot.

I understand he was in great position once the ball arrived but way before that he got himself out of position and that's where the grab happened.

Didn’t see the hold earlier

Meyer saying we're getting out coached... he ain't wrong.

With the [ Finebaum ] that went on in camp, there were some obvious questions about whether Patterson had control of the locker room. Letting them off practice that day just spoiled them more. Wells popping off at the mouth after his holding call hurt us. Poor form at tackling. Bad offense. Bad defense. Players getting chippy after getting owned because they are soft. Whole team looks lost.

I can confirm he didn’t call me!

D has not played with an edge since Dick Bumpas left in 2015.

On the bright side....... it feels like we are down 40 and it’s only 11.

Solid name and strong first post

Yea, he made a false step forward that allowed the receiver to get a step then grabbed him and that grab is a big part of why he was in good position once the ball got there. That's where the flagwas thrown before the ball even left the QB's hand.

Agree though that the contact once the ball arrived was fairly minimal.

There’s no way TCU football program can claim its trying to do much more than be mostly competitive by keeping Patterson around.

so is being mostly competitive the same as being mostly dead?

I agree and have pointed out that Dykes was the reason our offense produced that one year out of five. And Cumbie still found ways to put us in bad positions in games. Patterson did not fire Cumbie and company, and now he's paying the price. If he is gonna be that soft, only a matter of time before he loses the locker room. We are trending towards back to back losing seasons, after a barely 500 year and a joke of a bowl performance in 2018.

Anybody record what Urban said. That needs to be played a lot to GP.

Liberty has a better qb than we do.

 

[Mean Purple]

Liberty would kick our ass.

 

[JugbandFrog]

If WVU scores a TD to start the half, I’m done. Gonna put tbis game on my iPad and play Cold War. Any gamers out there want to do some zombie killing?

 

[TX_Krötenechse]

This is also the best season to hack and slash our coaching staff since we don’t have a recruiting class to worry about

 

[DelFrog]

Obviously something is wrong when the Frogs were a much stronger Big 12 program early on, when playing with supposedly lesser talent, recruited while playing in the Mountain West, as opposed to the recent supposedly higher rated recruits which are producing far worse results.

Liberty would kick our ass.

SMU would kick our ass
