Gameday Thread, Not Calling It That Edition: TCU vs Baylor

[TxFrog1999]

After a disastrous outing in Kansas the Frogs limp back to Fort Worth to face off against the Baylor Bears. Can Hoover become the homecoming king by leading TCU back to the win column over a hated rival or will the team sputter in what is now a must win game to keep their season from falling off a cliff? Sean and Nathan will be providing Homecoming coverage from the press box, including play-by-play here in the gameday thread, as well as reports on X/Twitter.

Location: Fort Worth, Texas
Kickoff: 11:00AM (CST)
TV: ESPN2

Rain please stay away.

There is zero energy. Tailgates are sparse and lifeless, students haven't shown up yet, and the team slept walked into the stadium for warm ups.

scheissing rain!!!

Whoever has the better running game will have the advantage today.

30 minutes until kickoff

The students that painted "Jesus Saves" two weeks ago are now sporting John 3:16.

Run the ball! Beat them.

It’s going to come down to who can pound the rock. I think TCU has a much better D, but the offense is going to have to protect the ball.

Thankfully the storm front that hit Abilene earlier this morning is way off to the north. We might get a slight drizzle, but otherwise I wouldn't expect any major delays.

 

[TxFrog1999]

15 minutes until kickoff, and maybe 1/2 of the student section is filled, the rest of the stadium is maybe 10% full.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Sporadic rain, and most of the fans are taking cover.

is Boston still on the ledge?

After last week, I assume the ledge is crowded this morning.

 

[TxFrog1999]

5 minutes to go.

5 of the 6 student sections are now filled. Energy level is still fairly low.

Safety Straps, everyone Clip On.

Coin toss… Baylor calls heads and TCU wins and will defer.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Well, at least we've already won something today.
