[QUOTE="HornedFroginAustin, post: 3313224, member: 70255"] When Briles was hired I made several comments on TCU social media regarding this being a good hire. Most everyone called me not a "real" fan. I heard a lot of the "sins of the father should not follow," nonsense. I attempted to explain that I am a diehard TCU and attended TCU undergrad. I did receive my masters from BU. For a time, I had season tickets to both TCU and BU. I lived in Austin at the time. I would utilize my BU tickets when TCU was not playing or was out of town or when I could time it to go to both games. There were a number of weekends that I went to both a TCU and a BU game. I went to some BU games during the Briles years. There was a HUGE difference between how TCU fans and players acted versus BU. It was clear that accountability and discipline were not a factor at BU. I ultimately decided, before the rape story broke, to get rid of my BU tickets as the environment was just wrong. I still think that hiring a coach that had that baggage was a big mistake. Your moral value system as a leader infects the entire program. I have been to many home and away games, win or lose starting at the age of 6 in 1982. I honestly cannot remember what we used to do back in the 80s. But this has been a VERY long-standing tradition, and I just don't buy the "they did not know better" excuse. [/QUOTE]
