GoFrogs: Kickoff Time/TV Announced for Football Opener at Stanford

[TopFrog]

FORT WORTH -- TCU's football season opener at Stanford on Friday, Aug. 30, will have a 9:30 p.m. CT, 7:30 p.m. PT, kickoff and be televised on ESPN.

The Horned Frogs will face an ACC opponent for the first time since 2009, when they opened the season with a 30-14 victory at Virginia before winning 14-10 two weeks later at Clemson. TCU will play 11 Power Four Conference opponents this fall.

TCU is 3-0 all-time against Stanford and will host the Cardinal in a return game at Amon G. Carter Stadium in 2027. The two teams are meeting for the first time since the 2017 Alamo Bowl, when the Horned Frogs rallied from a 21-3 deficit to win 39-37. TCU's last contest at Stanford was in 2007, as Andy Dalton passed for 344 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Horned Frogs from a 14-point second-half deficit to a 38-36 victory.

The last time TCU began a season with a Friday night road game was in 2022, when it won 38-13 at Colorado en route to a College Football Playoff National Championship appearance

Hate the late west coast kick off time. Often seems to bite the visitors in the butt.

Weird seeing Stanford as an ACC team.

Stanford - Atlantic coast - in today's society, that does not surprise me.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

Crossing my fingers that we will be 2-0 in ACC play.

3rd year in a row we will open against a west coast team picked to finish last in their conference.

Do not want a repeat of last year

The “All Coasts“Conference makes perfect sense for Stanford. Very inclusive name.

Yeah, I didn't get to bed until almost 2AM after the Colorado game in 2022. I hope there won't be a lightening storm Alphabet Coalition Students for 8th Century Jihadists on-field protest that delays kickoff in Palo Alto.

At least there won't be any "Big Noon (ET) Kickoffs" out there.....
