Top 25 pre season and in a big city. Still minimal fan support?

I was just actually thinking that tOSU might actually get more fans in that stadium than they do.

Likely will. TCU just doesn't have a large alumni base. I'm sure temps are brutal and opponent is terrible don't help today

Assuming that same logic would apply to Baylor v ACU? If we have a decent crowd, what would that say?

Have been noticing lots of empty seats at multiple games thus far this opening weekend. Noticable number of empty seats even for those National Championship contending aggys (LOL!!) at Kyle Field on Thursday night.

Area fans are at home watching the Longhorns.

Good point, cause the hottest part of the day is much closer to our kickoff than theirs.

Can't get your drunk on inside Amon Carter, unless you are on the club level. So a big chunk of their fan base stays in the parking lot getting hammered.

Except Ohio state backed out of the home and home for a single game at Jerry world right?

Right, it's always much more comfortable sitting in the mid day Texas sun, than it is watching a game at night,

You're saying that the night game is hotter than the early afternoon game? Not sure I'm following.

So what is the crowd looking like at McLane stadium at kickoff time?

So, my crazy logic goes like this. It is nicer to attend an 11a kickoff at 86 degrees in Fort Worth (which was their temp this morning) than a 94 degree kickoff in Waco.

Oh, that's even worse. More seats for Buckeyes to fill. I remember seeing us play Tech at Jerry World before we really turned the program around and I felt like we were outnumbered 2 to 1. First time I saw a great turnout was our basketball game against St. Mary's College.

JM reported 45K, which is baloney, but it was a very good crowd for this game. Not a lot of folks on the berm but the stadium seats were occupied in most sections. Probably morel like 35-38K in reality.

45330 was the official attendance on the box score. I would have guessed closer to 41k actual.
