KSU looks as good as TCU to me....if they played in Kansas this year my money would be on KSU.

TCU: 3-3, 172 PF, 121 PA
KSU: 2-4, 132 PF, 163 PA

That was stupid.

So far this year, it looks like they will battle to see who is the tallest midget.

It was hardly a neutral site game for TCU. That so-called neutral site game (AT&T Stadium) in Arlington is about 15 miles away from TCU's campus in Fort Worth.

This is the 2nd time I've seen this from an Ohio State fan. It was 70/30 in favor of Ohio State in terms of attendance. If anything it was more of a road game for TCU.

They need someone to hypnotize them into thinking they are playing Ohio State every week

 

[ericd7633]

The team & their fans only had to travel 15 miles. You don't think it was an advantage to only travel that distance?

Yes it was an advantage to the 25,000 fans or so that made the trip.

You know it comes down to more than just crowd makeup. OSU had to travel across the country. The kids are sleeping in a hotel instead of at home. They're practicing in a different facility while TCU guys get their home to practice at. Hell the time zone difference can even have an effect. I'm not saying these are excuses (don't really need them since we won), but that game was easier for the TCU kids than the OSU kids.

Hell, you guys are the ones that hypnotized them...or pulled some kind of voodoo shit on 'em after the first half.

They've continuted the turnover trend they started in the 3rd quarter of the Ohio State game. It has now turned into the equivalent of the yips in putting!

The TCU offense tells the opponent, "Here, take this ball. We can't score with it. We'll let you score with it before our defense even gets on the field."

But, I've told everyone TCU was overrated since the beginning of the year. In fact, they were my overrated pick. But, I'm a dumbass because I picked Florida as my underrated pick.

While it is considered an impressive venue to play in, I would venture to say a good number of the TCU kids played some playoff games at Jerry's World in high school.

 

[trojanfan12]

3 of the 4 playoff teams last season played an 8 game conference schedule, including the two teams that met in the finals.

Conferences that play a 9 game conference schedule only screw themselves.

Agree. I've said all along that I think conferences need to play the same number of conference games. I don't care if everyone plays 8 or 9, but it should all be the same number.

 

[trojanfan12]

Or if you are the Pac12, you play the extra conference games so that you get the guaranteed conference wins, since you tend to lose OOC games against G5 teams.

You realize that along with those "guaranteed conference wins" come guaranteed conference losses as well, right?

If you replace that conference game with an FCS or low level FBS team, you are basically only adding guaranteed wins.

I'd rather travel 2.5 hours in a plane and play in front of 70-75% of my fans, then travel 15 minutes and play in front of 25-30% of my fans.

And as I said, there was more to it than that. I don't know about you, but I don't sleep for shit in hotels as compared to at home.

Sure, but the most significant thing is playing in front of a pro plus Ohio State crowd. That wasn't a difficult atmosphere at all.

I don't think so. This team has shown it can play in front of a raucous non-Ohio State crowd. I'd rather play in Dayton in a 25/75 anti-OSU crowd and still be able to sleep in my own bed and practice in my own facilities.

So you think it was a true neutral site game because Ohio State fans travel well? I said this yesterday but I didn't consider it a true road game for TCU, they barely had to travel.

Distance from Fort Worth (TCU's campus) to Arlington for the game- 15 miles.
Distance from Columbus, OH. to Arlington- 1,060 miles.

This makes absolutely no sense to me, but it seems we'll just have to disagree.

What's the advantage of the game being played close to campus if nobody from said campus shows up for the game? I understand Ohio State had to travel farther, but they did to the tune of like 50,000 more fans. Props for them.

In comment # 266 you said 25,000 Buckeye fans made the trip. Now you're trying to say not many TCU fans went to the game when attendance was 66,342? Alrighty then.

So that's a difference of 41,342 fans. I wonder who those other 40,000+ were rooting for?

Yeah but you ain't a very fit, well trained 18-22 year old D1 college football player. Those suckers can sleep on a concrete floor with a tornado coming through town.
