On Wednesday I posted a “potential” 2012 TCU football schedule from SpitBloodTCU. That schedule could be correct based on the above tweet from Chris Level.
Level says it's looking like TCU's first Big 12 home game will be on October 6th against Texas Tech. That is the same date that the SpitBlood schedule has Tech visiting Ft. Worth. We at least know that date looks to be confirmed. HURRY AND RELEASE THE SCHEDULE!!
Not sure if you are aware, but former Cowboy Terrell Owens agreed to join the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League in early January. T.O. is playing WR as well as being a partial owner of the Wranglers. That isn’t really the news here though…the BIG news is that former Frog Casey Printers will be on the Wranglers as well.
The Allen Wranglers are excited to announce the signing of CFL Elite Quarterback, Casey Printers. Printers was born in DeSoto, Texas, and played collegiately for Texas Christian University until his senior year, when he transferred to Florida A&M. At TCU, Printers had 4,621 passing yards and 37 touchdowns. Printers then lead the Florida A&M Rattlers to a 7-5 record, completing 123 of 127 passes for 1,517 yards with 15 touchdowns, 3 of which were rushing touchdowns.
Any Frog Fans going to make the journey to Allen to check out T.O. and Printers?? Ha!
Like most of you, I am patiently awaiting the return of TCU football, but its not far away. Spring practice is quickly approaching.
TCU's first season in the Big 12 doesn't officially begin until July 1, but in all practicality, the real start date is just 15 days away.
The Horned Frogs spring practice begins Feb. 25 and is scheduled to conclude April 5. A spring game date has yet to be announced. Five of the 15 spring practices will come after spring break, which is March 19-23.
SpitBloodTCU.com is reporting that the schedule below is "potentially" TCU’s 2012 football schedule. If true, it’s a good one.
9-1 @ Oklahoma St.
9-8 Grambling
9-15 open
9-22 Virginia
9-29 @ SMU
10-6 Texas Tech
10-13 @ Baylor
10-20 Iowa St.
10-27 @ W Virginia
11-3 Oklahoma
11-10 Kansas St.
11-17 open
11-22 @ Texas (Thanksgiving)
11-29 @ Kansas
- Opening with Oklahoma State will be tough but the Cowboys are breaking in a lot of key players so getting them early could be beneficial.
- The stretch of @SMU, vs. Tech, and @ Baylor will be a fun one.
- The Frogs have a bye week before the Texas game. Gary Patterson with an extra week to prepare for the Longhorns? That should be interesting. If this schedule for Texas is correct, then the Longhorns will be @ Kansas State before they play TCU.
- I can’t wait to see the Grambling band
- If the final game @ Kansas is really on a Thursday, that one could be tricky even though KU has been awful lately.
I’m a message board addict. I love reading them. One that I check out often is Purple Menance. It’s the Rivals.com TCU site and it normally has a lot of info on recruiting. It was previously maintained by Jeremy Clark and Jeremiah Glenn, but that isn’t the case anymore.
Jeremy Clark, Jeremiah, and the rest of the crew are taking their talents to the TCU Scout website. It had been pretty lame with a terrible name, but that is changing. Big Purple Nation is becoming HornedFrogBlitz.com and the former Purple Menace guys are now in control. Where does that leave Purple Menace?
Well, today Rivals announced that Matt Reagan, Billy Wessels, and Chris Blake are taking over Purple Menace where the others left off. It will be interesting to see if Purple Menace can hold onto their subscribers. Jeremy Clark had a loyal following so I would expect a few defects.
