It’s your turn now, Frog fans
October 24, 2014
Whether you’re a 24/7 fan or just a casual observer, there’s no doubt that TCU Football has gained your attention this season.It’s the WOW factor.
The new “Air Raid” offense, which I prefer to call the “Meacham Field” offense, has zoomed its way to a spot in the Top 10 in the nation in three important categories: No. 9 in passing offense (340.2 yards per game), No. 7 in total offense (537.7 ypg) and No. 5 in scoring offense (45.2 ppg). The Frogs are putting up huge numbers.
Now it’s your turn.
Home games mean home field advantage. The advantage is based on numbers and noise. The TCU student section should be Exhibit A in how to do it. They’re a non-stop noise-making machine, and the visitors bench area is not a fun place to be. Follow their lead.
TCU is now ranked No. 10 in the nation. This is the best team TCU has had in four seasons and is the best team in Texas right now. Game times reflect the Frogs’ performance, poll ranking and demand by the TV networks. The 11 o’clock kickoff excuse is gone. Get to the stadium.
Opposing teams’ fans are leaving tickets on the table, gobble them up and get your Purple on.
Texas Tech comes to visit with a sputtering offense and a defense that statistically is last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, total defense and rushing defense. That’s three key categories. Regardless, as they say, you still have to play them and beat them.
That means putting up big numbers for everybody. The Frogs and their fans. That means you.
Kick ‘Em High!
