FWST: Fanbase may be unhappy, but TCU playing in Ireland is good for the university

[Spike]

either that, or Gundy got more out of him.

He's a man

All of this talk would matter if UNC were a “marquee” opponent, which they’re not.

Not really. People are still complaining about LSU and OSU.

In hindsight- the new stadium may be the worst thing to ever happen to average TCU fans

I am getting older and I know that informs my attitude. I know the new Carter had to be, but I miss everything about Gameday at the old place. The more professional, loud, and glitzy everything becomes ( and expensive) the less I enjoy it. TCU is doing everything it can do to keep up. They certainly pay coaches very well, and now the players. The new generation only knows this way, and they are fine with it. Giving up attending football was unthinkable all of my life. I am on a year to year contract now. TCU will be fine.

Meanwhile in Stillwater...

"Oklahoma State quarterback Garret Rangel has entered the transfer portal, becoming the second player at the position to depart the program this week.

CBS Sports reporter Matt Zenitz broke the news on Wednesday night.

Rangel was one of four quarterbacks that entering the spring vying for the starting job. On Monday, Maealiauaki Smith announced his was entering the portal.

The departures only leave TCU transfer Hauss Hejny and Zane Flores as the scholarship quarterbacks on the roster. Only Hejny has college experience, but he hasn’t thrown a pass."

Going to be a lot of wildcat formation coming out of Stillwater this year.

Those who contend that the ACS renovation has been bad for the average fan are making a fair point, but let’s not forget TCU would most likely not have been invited to join the Big XII without that renovation.

We were displaced from our really, REALLY good seats on the East Side, and I’ve had season tickets since the late 60s, but no more. My beloved Alma mater is more interested in money than an old alum.

Go Frogs!

And here we are. Repeating it.

Look, I get it - the marketing $$$ are more important now than alumni and fan relationships. This is the way college football is going.

Meanwhile, SMU now has a home and home with Notre Dame.

I wish this were true, but it's not. We get a check and take UVA's place at South Bend in 2026 so that they can play West Virginia in a neutral site game in Charlotte.

I think things like an Ireland trip affect logistics and body clock to the point that chances of making the playoffs for that season drop.

Oh the committee will give us credit for body clock right?

 

[ftwfrog]

I lost count on how many times I mumbled “oh for scheisss sake” when reading the comments on this thread.

In 2 years we’ll playing a college football game on a neutral site. Norm, It’s called the way it is.

Nobody has bought season tix for 2026 yet.

And can certainly make that choice when it comes time.

But plenty acting like they’ve been screwed over on 2026 tix they are somehow invested in before buying them.

That’s what I get for listening to the guys at the DCTF podcast lol

 

[NewFrogFan]

If we gave up home field for Ohio State and LSU, then so did they.

But they still have LONG time rivalries on their schedules, TCU not so much.
TCU AT either school would not have moved the needle that much.

both schools worked their way back to power conferences. it is time the ADs act like it.

Before booking my flight I need to know what the press box situation is like in that stadium and which bottle of Irish whiskey is going to be a part of our press package. If we're stuck on the roof like we were in Norman or in the "press overflow" setup in the nose bleed section like the National Championship I'll stay on this side of the pond.

Insist on Teeling Single Batch, or Method and Madness 'Oat and Malt' for in-game libations. Mmm-mmm-good!
