TCU is an awkward opponent to have in the Cowboys Classic

To those that say you will outnumber TCU fans: no shite Sherlock. Look at the relative enrollments of each school and the number of years of sports dominance.

As a huge fan of both schools who can boast having a transcript with courses from each of the fine institutions, I am very disappointed. Both schools just went through extensive stadium remodeling (one more than the other) and Amon G Carter Stadium is truly one of a kind now and capable of rivaling some SEC schools in seating capacity. Ft Worth is a great city and is more in line with and open to family in fun in the south than Dallas can ever hope to be. Fans of both schools should get to experience all each great city and local culture has to offer. There is no reason to play these games at Jerry world. It takes away from the college atmosphere and experience. If I wanted to overpay to watch football on a giant screen in a sterile environment I would either buy cowboys tickets or install a 90" LCD in a slot at the city parking garage and sit really close.

This freaking sucks even though it was completely expected.




additionally TCU is in Ft Worth the only thing similar between Ft Worth and Dallas is geographical location and climate.

TCU stadium seats right at 50k + now

TCU is no blow over team although there are few teams in the nation that stand a chance against the powerhouse LSU has developed into. Assuming LSU maintains the same quality of players the score may be lopsided.

I seriously doubt that. Remember that last time we were alloted more tickets than Oregon because of the distance they had to travel.

TCU is located right down the road in Fort Worth. They brought over 30,000 fans to the Rose Bowl in 2011. The locals will be rooting for them as well.

They will outnumber us....not that it matters though.
