TCU fans insist Amon Carter Stadium really will be filled Saturday. The Frogs and Texas Tech will play for the first time since the debacle in Lubbock two years ago. TCU came in confident and seemingly ready to play. But after building a three-toughdown lead, the Frogs were shown just how long of a season lay ahead, losing 70-35. Perhaps it's that game that has Red Raider fans bubbling with arrogance.
Some actually claim TCU fans have conspired to buy up available seats for the game, preventing Red Raider fans from attending. A theory posited by the media is probably closer to the truth. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported this week that Tech fans bought TCU season tickets en masse so they could see the game. And tickets are apparently going for large sums on eBay and other ticket-broker sites.
Whichever side is right, one can bet both sides will be strongly represented Saturday. The players don't care much about the renewal of this rivalry; many of them were just grade-schoolers when the Southwest Conference died. But the snatching of tickets proves the fans -- red- and purple-clad both -- covet the chance to see this one in person.
