Love looking down on other fanbases.

What gives, TCU? Your fans are trash!
-
man we really messed up there
-
That's pretty awful. I bet recruits go to those games and get totally amped to be a Horned Frog.
-
yeah, the TCU pick up is looking worse and worse every game.
-
LOL at the ppl that insist Gary won't leave that for another school.

who does that? he just won't leave for us.

Of all the fanbases in the country that don't deserve a good team, TCU and Baylor have to rank near the top among BCS schools.
How many did BU bring to MHK yesterday? Maybe 250? If you don't have enough fans to support your team, then you don't deserve a good team.
And that picture of TCU... woof. During the realignment hysteria a couple of years ago, I was adamantly against adding TCU because they bring nothing to the table. They have a tiny fanbase and only one good sport. Pictures like that are going to be extremely common in Ft Worth.
Blah. Life is so unfair.
-
They played KU. What do expect?
-
Indeed, and the fan base is always at frog alley and often arrives late. It is a southern thing, too. We are not Nebraska.
-
Next year every stadium we play in on the road will be empty after halftime. 1st half it will be super packed full of people because everyone wants a glimpse of the Heisman front runner, but we'll be so far ahead at half that everyone will just leave and go home.
-
I love TCU and think they were great add. However, I want to kick wvu out of the conference. They were an awful add and do not belong.

This is correct answer.

I can't tell if this is an excuse or an admission.

I would rather play as many games as possible in one of the most fertile recruiting areas in the country than a place that is the perfect locale for a fantastic tv show about meth. OU and UT agree with me fwiw.
-

A southern thing? Odd that doesn't happen at other Texas schools, or SEC schools, or Florida schools, etc.

UNM is laughably absurd. it's everything houston is but worse and also houston stinks as a realignment option so that's how far down the list UNM is in my book.

You know when in the game that pic was taken Dlew?

Yes would be amazing! All conferences should not consider, television revenue, program success, attendance, population, or recruiting area possibilities when expanding. rough ridin' amazingly innovative eastcat and not at all surprising coming from you.

Maybe but that one example would seem to be an exception rather than symptomatic of this "southern thing."

UNM is in a metro of 1+ million and would be the sole major program in that state. Covers everything outside of program success that you mentioned.
ETA: Recruiting would also be an improvement over west rough ridin' virginia.
-

Correct. Why spend your money to see your team beat KU when you can sit in the comfort of your man cave and watch many more interesting games, the outcomes of which are not given? And throw back a few while you're at it?

Their stadium capacity is under 40,000 WVU has a capacity of over 60,000. Pittsburgh metro comes with WVU.

Neither does ISU. I still cannot believe that we never added Louisville.
An "empty stadiums" thread probably isn't the place to debate this particular argument. This season, about the only BCS Conference-esque thing ISU does in football is fill a stadium, and they do that pretty well.
-

seems more like a west coast thing and you know what they say fort worth=pasadena

Yep. if nothing else, ISU sells out their stadium.

But does adding teams whose sports venues are named after fast food brands/conglomerates hurt the image of our conference?

No way, they have an amazing food court.

No, it might hurt the image of our conferences fans. Especially in their mid-sections

a collection of quotes from tcu fans explaining their terrible attendance Saturday
Thanks Stefan for sending that out to the world. Why don't you head into the concourse where thousands are packed trying to avoid heatstroke and take a photo? What a tool.
I saw people pass out today. It was HOT.
What made the misery factor awful today was that there was not a breath of wind, the humidity and the heat... I saw three plus people needing medical attention... This makes two home games that have been dangerous for many to sit through because there was no wind and high temps... TCU should have built a domed stadium like some of the northern teams (c'use, Idaho and ND State)... Outside stadiums in areas of the country with extremely high temps worked when early games were at night..
Hey guys, most of our fans sit in air conditioned homes or offices during the week. So to ask people to sit 4 hours in the Texas heat and humidity is asking a lot.
Something needs to be done about this issue, namely installing shade devices.
It was 85 degrees or so but the dew point was 71 and the blazing sun made it miserable.
How much would it cost to add a dome to the Carter?
My car thermometer said 96 degrees when I got in right after the game.
We are a fanbase built on families with kids. We normally had night games while in the MWC except for November and our crowds grew and grew. These early starts topped off with 90+ heat in the direct sun are killing our fanbase.

they don't deserve those recruits.

The sun is killing their fanbase. Also dew point talking point. So great.

the good news is that humidity isn't a problem in the swamp or baton rouge

85 is hot for Texans?
Come home Gary.

The sport of football is dying a slow death. I'm glad people are finally catching on.
-
I can't wait to see the end of year attendance reports for the Big 12. KU will probably be their opponents' lowest attended home game for all four of their conference road games. No one at UT, OSU, or ISU will give a crap about watching them either.

Wow, somebody put KU's football program out of its misery.
The attendance, or lack thereof in Lawrence is embarrassing enough, but it's worse that home teams now in the Big XII won't even show up to watch a guaranteed W against this bunch of losers.

SRO at K-State, Arrowhead appeared to be packed, I watched the aTm vs Miss game it was packed, Michigan with all time attendance records . . . yep, death.

the chiefs getting good again will the absolute nail in the coffin for the last thirty or forty ku fans that still make the saturday morning k-10 death march. i half expect to start hearing some rip their effing heads off chants before arrowhead kickoffs.

no. nobody ever has. just tcu.

Yeah, the NDSU game was just an absolutely gorgeous day/evening. I mean you could have just laid out there comfortably for a couple of hours without water before needing emergency medical attention.

Everybody: huddle on the concourse to keep cool.

I remember seeing TCU's mostly empty stadium last fall (maybe the Oct 20 game vs TTech?) and searching twitter to see what the excuse was. People were blaming Fall Break. :rolleyes:
-
I think everyone knew TCU was a mistake even at the time, but there weren't many options. IIRC, it wasn't like we took TCU over WVU or UL, it was more like "take them to stop the bleeding". Too bad we couldn't have landed both UL and WVU. Would have had a little more continuity, better sports, etc.
-
why don't they use the fact that they have less than 10k students as an excuse?
-
Might have something to do with the Christians. Usually does.

For some reason, Christians have a natural aversion to attending games at outdoor arenas.

in tcu's defense, they have the coolest (temperature-wise) concourses in all of the big 12. go cats.
