This just coming in from Baylor and 1660 ESPN Radio, the TCU/Baylor football game this season will be on Friday, September 2nd at 7:00 on ESPN. Yes, another Friday night game…
Although this is disappointing, I expected this from Baylor. With the game being on a Friday night it makes it harder for TCU fans to make the game. The Bears don’t want their stadium taken over by TCU fans wanting to witness another beat down of Baylor. Pathetic.
**Update** Here is the release from TCU Media Relations: The TCU football team's 2011 season opener at Baylor has been moved to Friday, Sept. 2, at 7 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN.
The Horned Frogs will have two appearances on ESPN this season. An Oct. 28 contest with BYU at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington will also air on ESPN.
TCU now has three Friday games this fall. In addition to facing Baylor and BYU, the Horned Frogs will host SMU on Friday, Sept. 30. The SMU game will be televised on CBS Sports Network.
The Horned Frogs return 11 starters from their Rose Bowl championship squad that went 13-0 and finished second in all the major polls. TCU also led the nation in total defense for a third straight season.
TCU is the only program in the country to finish in the top 10 in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls over the last three seasons. The Horned Frogs' average finish of 5.0 in the last three AP polls ranks first nationally.
TCU has a 25-game regular season winning streak and has won 39 of its last 42 contests overall.
Dating back to 2002, the Horned Frogs are 16-3 in their last 19 games versus teams from BCS automatic-qualifying conferences.
The 2011 campaign marks TCU's final season in the Mountain West Conference before beginning Big East Conference play in 2012.
