From that TCU/KU game, at HALF TIME...


They are using the OU/Texas game as an excuse.

    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.

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

but their fans don't work in air conditioned offices all day like the tcu fans do and are all probably used to it.

my guess is that those SEC team's fans don't have families and kids

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.

For shitty programs, it is.  For studs it's the opposite.

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.

The Big 12 will really come of age when we're stealing coaches within the conference like the SEC does.

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.
