Tim’s Take: Win out, then it’s off to Houston

Published Nov 13, 2007

Amid all the chaos known as my life, I found some time to sort through the rather large pile of clothes on my bedroom floor - a pile that could be easily mistaken for a little podunk town just outside of Lubbock.Some of the things I found included a Styx concert stub, my McLovin T-shirt and my "Mighty Ducks" trilogy. There were also some things I didn't want to stumble upon such as my "Beat Texas" T-shirt.

Yikes.

If it couldn't get any worse, I found the movie "Bobby" lying next to the wrinkled purple shirt.

Sigh.

During the last several home games, the number of Greek students who attended the student tailgate was high, while the number of non-Greek students, who make up the other 60 percent of the student body at TCU, was surprisingly low.

Tailgating goes hand in hand with football season and is part of the college experience in general, so why aren't students actually going?
