I think it could be. There are so many Coach Prime fans in the Dallas area and the secondary-market tickets are starting to drop. I think there’s a chance you get a ton of people in that area to say “I’ll pay 100 bucks to see Coach Prime’s first game.”

We sold out our allotment, re-upped it, sold out and re-upped it again and we only have a few left of the third round.

As someone who was a Miami fan till Prime went to JSU, I can say Dan Enos is a terrible OC but he does have a nice scheme to prep you for the NFL. That said, man, the pro style scheme in the SEC, unless you got a surefire OL and good group of weapons and a running game beyond the QB, it's hard to consistently produce in this scheme at this level. This isn't the NFL where you got a lot of time for planning.

As for Kendal Briles. I've been listening to his presser with TCU. I don't get the feeling he's as confident about Chandler as Sonny is. He should be good in the scheme. He fits the scheme. But he can't throw in a tight window, his best game against Baylor was nothing but average difficulty throws and the only catch that was massive was in double coverage where Quinton Johnson made a 1 handed catch. Baylor secondary was beyond abysmal that game in particular and till that point of the season as well.

He couldn't produce against Kansas State, OSU which could be excused due to sudden coaching change and Colorado last year.

That said, he's smart, accurate, fairly quick and has solid elusiveness. Arm strength is below average but he can make all of the throws for this college scheme. Good decision maker, I don't see many bad risky passes. Gets antsy around a pass rush and bail out of the pocket quickly. His confidence can wane. Doesn't seem to handle getting hit well due to frame.

I don't see much leadership but that can change at this age anytime. While Morris fits this scheme more than Duggan, Duggan is just a better player and that's the issue with Morris. Is he a good college passer, yes but is he a good college player, idk. Solid, close to good. That said, Colorado will give Morris a tough time.

They seem to have all of the things Morris hasn't played well against yet. Good at maintaining tight coverage, good pass rush, and a team that has tremendous speed. He's struggled against speed thus far. That said, Colorado also has 5 defensive players who can get a pick and take it to the house in Sanders, Woods, McClain, Ward, and Hunter. So it's not a good thing for Morris to get behind as it can get ugly real quick.

I've been watching this team and NU closely and I can say TCU is a more deep team with less weaknesses than last year. The issue is, who's that star outside of Josh Newton and Johnny Hodges.

I truly think TCU could be a better team than last year and be much worse record wise. Duggan's leadership, Intangibles, playmaking, and scheme fit in game with Riley was so good and of course Quinton Johnson was a superstar in that scheme as well Kendre Miller.

This year, the outside WRs are a question. The running game is a question. While the OL is a question, I like 3 of the 5 OLmen on the squad. Defensively, they should be better than last year but the pass rush is bad which wasn't the case last year. It's going to be interesting in Fort Worth. I am probably more down on them since I've been closely following them than I would be normally where I wouldn't have them on my radar.

TCU will be blown out by Colorado. I am very confident in that take.

Excellent and thorough take.... I don't agree on your blowout prediction for other reasons. I don't see CU being able to blow out a team on the road in game 1 of the Prime era.
 
I just looked at the TCU depth chart and the 455 lb OL is not listed. Is he being redshirted to "restructure" his body frame so that he can play an entire game? I just don't understand how an OL can play an entire game at that size.

Does anyone know if he played full games on the HS level?

Supposedly he weighed 380 in high school and I highly doubt he could've played a full game at that weight. The kid is a project.

Hoping that we show out in force. I can’t wait.
 
i feel really good about this one for whatever jinx or karma that might be worth.

they have zero tape on our assembled roster. they are looking at sean lewis offense tape. our last year's game tape is quite certainly useless.

we have an edge and a need to win.

Best printable TV schedule?

For years I have printed the nationalchamps.net TV schedule and that was my guide to switch channels. I logged on and it seems that they haven't updated anything for the 2023 season. A few people on here have directed me to other sites that have a great TV format list but I dont remember any of those sites.

The FBSchedules website is NOT good. Anyone have a link to a good site that has a good TV listing?

The forecast temp in Ft Worth on 9/2 is 105.
Everything I found says games have to be cancelled at that temp. Actually they say games have to be cancelled if the Heat Index hits 105.
I looked to see if the NCAA had a rule. I didn't find one.

Maybe they should plan a 10:00 p.m. kickoff - the temp would be high 90s then

Putting the 400 pound lineman in the game, might be a death sentence

Opps. Probably 5 to 6 a.m. is the only time that would work.
Should be about 80 in Boulder. Offer them $5 -6 million to switch sites. Better than cancelling . Yeah, I know.
