TCU's Sept. 24 home game against Portland State has been moved from 6 p.m. to 1 p.m. and the Horned Frogs Friday, Sept. 30 home game against SMU has been moved to Saturday, Oct. 1 at 2:30 p.m. The SMU-TCU game will be televised on CBS Sports Network, not ESPN, which carried the game last season at SMU.
The changes were prompted by the ongoing construction at Amon G. Carter Stadium. TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said in a prepared release that "we will still be in the midst of construction, we need to move the games to the daytime to make it easier to manage traffic, parking and movement in and out of the stadium"
The Frogs will play three night games in 2011, including the season opener at Baylor at 7 p.m. Sept. 2. TCU will also play at 9:30 p.m. (Central) at San Diego State Oct. 8 (following the SMU game) and against BYU at Cowboys Stadium at 7 p.m. Oct. 28. Both the Baylor and BYU games will be televised on ESPN.

Too bad they are not changing the teams we are playing. Worst schedule I have ever seen my Frogs put together.
I vote we postpone this year, and start fresh in the Big East 2012!!!!

A 11-1 season. If we beat Boise State, 12-0. Lets see how the polls go this year. It's not TCU's fault that no one wants to play them in their non-conf games (Texas Tech).

I agree it's not TCU's fault everyone in the bc$ is running scared (aggies, tt, osu, ark), but there's not one home game that's worth the ticket price.
And if we go undefeated, it would be unjustified and a sham if we are ranked higher than 15, strength of schedule and all.........
