Purple Flame

It really depends on the situation. If the AD is an alum or from that region, the AD can be there for a very long time no matter how bad they are. Before Hyman was AD, we had an AD that was here for over 20 years. However, he was alum that was connected to the right people to protect him here even though he did not have a clue on how to hire a good coach.

At least you guys were not referred to as NTSU!

From what I can tell, it looked like it was just paper banner. I agree that it was pretty harmless. However, all it takes is 1 person out of 500 or 1000 TCU fans to get bent out of shape over it to be an ugly incident. It really should not be surprising that something did not happen when you look at from a numbers standpoint like that.

I won't get into any details but I can assure you that I have ZERO love for A&M. They have not done any favors at all for TCU lately. I used the MOB story to illustrate a point. The reaction by one or two TCU supporters is pretty mild compared to what a large contingent of Aggies tried to do over something that was less harmful. If the Pit Crew had not stolen the sign, there would not have been any altercations in the first place. Some people need to look at the action of their own before casting blame on others.

I did not go over there and make a big deal about getting back the stolen property but some people are a bit more uptight than me. At the same time, that entire incident could have been prevented by the Pit Crew. You just don't show off something that you just stole. If Texas A&M ever gives you a home game, I dare the Pit Crew to do a prank like this against them. Instead of one or two people going over there to get the sign you will likely get a large number of Ag Quada going after the Pit Crew. Ask the Rice band (the MOB) what Ag Quada can do if you have a tribute to a particular border collie!

I would like to add my thanks to the Pit Crew as well. They provided the extra bit of motivation to help TCU win the game. I wonder if the Pit Crew has any plans on getting a SMU or UTA (assuming they have one) banner. PS Did you guys give the TCU coaches some green shirts? I noticed one TCU coach wearing a green shirt in the parking lot as he left the game.
