What kind of capacity is expected for this game? I'm getting ready to head to College Station now and Flashseats is littered with $25-35 tickets for our game. Wouldn't be surprised if there is only 80,000-90,000 at Kyle tonight. Is Thanksgiving hurting ticket sales on your end as well?

Keep the turnovers and brain farts down and this game can be won by the Horns.

Here's a thought on tonight....this team has slowly, but steadily progressed throughout the season (particularly the OL). At this point, I am not expecting the team to take a step back tonight - I don't think the coaches will let that happen.

If that's true, then tonight really comes down to how good TCU is. If they are truly one of the 4 best teams in the country, they should win this game. If they aren't I don't think they will withstand the momentum the Horns have built during November.

I'm excited that the team has the opportunity to upset a top 5 team on national TV. It would really help in momentum for the program and for recruiting.

Hearing from TOS that Shipley will not be playing tonight, or will be extremely limited.  Any word on this from your end Matt?

UT officials just confirmed that Shipley won't play. That's a shame he'll miss Senior night.

Well, the Horns chances just went down a notch. :angry:

Man, Boykin seems like he's been at TCU for 5 years already.  He's only a junior.

Texas blitzing a lot early on.

I am in love with the Texas defense

This is how its done.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Another TCU FG and the Horned Frogs lead 6-0 w/ 4:25 left in 1Q.

Texas defense dominating right now.  Bailing the offense out.
