FWST: TCU’s Patterson miffed that Zach Evans doesn’t have more buzz. Saturday changed that

[denverfrog]

From the looks of the stands yesterday, looks like we’ve lost local appeal as well.

It was in the mid 90s yesterday, maybe you missed that part ?

In my opinion, Zach needs 15 to 20 carries a game. I’m not sure why Gary wants him to only have 10-12. I guess it’s to keep him healthy. In CGP we trust. It’s easy making those calls from my couch.

Watching Evans and Johnston was extremely fun yesterday. Gotta wait 2 weeks to see them again.

Long season, want all of those guys to be healthy for it. Not terribly worried that Evans isnt going to get adequate touches. We know exactly what we have here.

So TCU is upset about Evans no getting hype, so Gary says he might limit Evans to 10 to 12 carries a game. That should work to keep the hype down.

Unsuccessful teams and add in covid, TCU has to dig out of the hole again too

I agree about covid, people are still scared. Beyond

Excuses. While yes it sucks to sit in the heat, there are stadiums all over the country dealing with the same heat and can fill more than the lower bowl with any consistency.

If you think the fan support for this program right now is where it needs to be, I think a recalibration of expectations is in order.

Name one that fills up their stadium with less than 10k undergrads

CGP allows limited access to his program and then has the nerve to complain about hype. You reap what you sow.

Some people need to go be state school T-shirt fans since they care so much about how many people are in the stadium.

I thought the atmosphere was decent all things considered. The students showed up and stayed, which makes a huge difference. There were a bunch of people under the deck, like me.

We’re just not gonna have a big crowd on a 90+ degree afternoon unless we are playing a relatively big time opponent. But about 30 other P5 programs wouldn’t either given similar circumstances.

The concourses were packed with people. It has happened for almost every other September afternoon game forever.

Perhaps GP needs to, “Take A Step Back”. GAME ON!!!

It’s been that way in AGCS for years now.

2015-2018 were not at this level.

2019 is probably close

I don’t understand why people keep going off on this. It was well into the 90’s in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. Look at the stands last week for UT’s and SEC teams mid-afternoon games…Tons of empty seats. People don’t want to sit or stand in 90 degree temps.

Arkansas was a full house for UT. Game was in Fayetteville.

FSU and ND also at full capacity for that opener in Florida

Pretty sure those were all night games.

GP has nothing to do with that side of the ball. Probably just saying [ Finebaum ] that he thought sounded like something an offensive coach might say.

Hey? What? That hurts man. I am invested in TCU.
Two t-shirts and a free game-day coozie invested.

Because it’s people that were not actually at the game that are complaining….so they don’t realize any of those things is all I can figure

Don’t use facts….it gives you an unfair advantage

Grammatically speaking, my answer is TCU, although SMU would be another correct answer.

Buzzzzzzzz

Good comparisons for TCU hosting Duquesne and hot afternoon Cal (which again most people were under the concourses.)
