I would think they would want to pack that place to see the first ever home Big XII win, but I guess maybe I'm not so smart.

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.

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?

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.
