What are your favorite TCU favorite regular season victories?

[Zubaz]

Not sure there's been a single awesome/important game since 2015 unfortunately. Perhaps 2017 Oky State when they were top 10 and we smoked them

The 17 season is a bit underrated. WVU was College Gameday and was a crazy game, UT was a pretty good game. Even Arkansas was some good revenge for the year prior.

On other boards I've started thread topics on the theme of "most important game for your program that you team wasn't actually playing in." Boise vs Nevada will forever be TCU's biggest/ most important game in that category. It's crazy to think but I've said before, Collin Kaepernick is the biggest indirect reason we got to play in the Rose Bowl and perhaps ever join the big12.

Yeah I remember that New Mexico game, but even more so I remember the close call against SDSU the week before. They almost completely spoiled our dream season.

I think you could throw in UT-Nebraska in '09. Ultimately UT was given the extra second and eked out the win, but TCU was that 0:01 from likely playing for the title against Bama. Sure, some say Cincinnati would have gotten the nod, but from what I recall TCU stood more to benefit in the computers and would have passed Cincinnati.

The last one.

Oct ‘69: Frogs beat Aggie’s, 16-6. Our first win of the season. My first chance to see the Frogs win. Memorable to see the Corps of Cadets march into the stadium and for the SigEp pledges carry a sign around the stadium that had an apple with a worm coming out of it. The sign’s text was, “The Corps is full of worms”. The Ags certainly enjoyed it.

I remember that game. Thought we were going to have a riot on our hands.

At Arkansas 1984

Fun Frog wins!

...And, from that moment on, Bo Pelini was never quite the same.

Yup, UNM was THE worst team in FBS that year too. We went up early with two quick scores where New Mexico didn't cover Hicks and then James. I don't mean busted coverage either, I mean "New Mexico literally didn't put a guy on him" and Andy had to subtlely change the play each time. Dalton then got knocked out of that game with an elbow injury I believe. THAT was a scary. We put Yogi Gallegos out there for a few plays, then Casey came in and, I don't wanna say New Mexico made a comeback, but got it to something like 31-17 at the half and everyone was remembering the week prior with a little bit of apprehension.

Then the second half happened and we just demolished them.

I’m very impressed at your recollection of this one.

2009 Utah
2014 Kansas State
2015 Texas Tech

 

[Wog68]

1967 at Texas when Bubba Thornton
returned a punt 78 yards for a TD, Cubby Hudler returned a punt 45 yards to set up a score, and Kenny Post ran for 2 TD's. Final score 24 - 17.

If I remember correctly, I don’t think the @Stanford game was on TV? Unless I forgot to pay the cable bill I remember huddled around the radio listening to it.

No, it wasn't on TV. That Stanford team really wasn't very good, but they had upset USC the previous week, so didn't know how it might go and sure enough we got way behind, but made a great comeback to win it.

 

[OmniscienceFrog]

Utah 2009
OU 2014
Arkansas 1981
OU 2005
Baylor 2015

Arkansas in '81 is one of my very favorites. Ended that damned losing streak against the pig people.

2011 TCU @ Boise - I was at the game on the blue turf and in spite of corrupt MWC officials trying to punish us for bolting to the Big East, Frogs win it on shanked field goal on last play of game. (Byron Hout is a punk).

All hail LaGarrette Blount.

 

[OmniscienceFrog]

All hail LaGarrette Blount.

Utah Home Game #3 vs #5. Best college football atmosphere I have ever experienced at the Carter, standing room only. Night game as well. And we destroyed them on national TV.

 

[Ron Swanson]

The games that immediately stand out to me as the most fun/memorable are...

2006 Tech
2009 Clemson
2009 Utah
2012 UT
2014 OU
2015 Baylor

Correct.

Stomping Baylor and RGIII's arse in 2010 was very enjoyable as well

"Good job, Big XII"

I remember GP let out several F bombs on live TV.

Was a fluke.
