TDECU STADIUM CONTRIBUTES TO UPSET 11/17/16–AMON G. CARTER STADIUM CREATES ‘BOLTS OF STUPIDITY’ & ‘A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS’—11/19/16
After leaving Austin, Texas on 11/16/17, my camp was moved to Columbus, Texas for my visit to TDECU Stadium, home of the U of Houston Cougars. Even though it was located about 75 miles away from the Stadium, the proximity would shorten my drive to Fort Worth, Texas.
There would be no pre-game ritual for TDECU Stadium since it was a ‘Side Dish’ for my Pilgrimage. I would pay homage to those that have come before me on game day.
My stop in Columbus provided some rare ‘Blessings’. One never knows what awaits them on a Pilgrimage. For this post, a slightly different format will be used. Snippets of information will describe certain photos as the story is told.
The Motel Manager at the Columbus Inn was very helpful with her Texas charms. As a native of Columbus, history was shared with me. A couple of places made my stops, others remained a story. Columbus, Texas was the sight of the first court ever held in the state, the tree stump still remains. That did not make my list of stops.
This pic of the largest documented living Oak Tree in the state of Texas did.

Another tree was on the list and marked with a plaque.
Folklore has it that the tree was also called the ‘Hanging Tree’. When convicted of a crime that warranted it, ‘Good Old Swift Texas Justice’ was conducted from the tree.
TDECU Stadium is considered an infant when compared to other stadiums. The stadium’s opening game was August 29, 2014 vs UTSA.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF U OF HOUSTON FOOTBALL AND ITS STADIUMS
Wikipedia and other sources write:
“In August 1945, the University of Houston announced that the school would field a football team for the first time. In September 1946, the team became a reality. Playing in Houston Public School Stadium as a part of the Lone Star Conference on September 21, 1946, the Cougars played their first official game against Southwestern Louisiana Institute.

The University of Houston continued to host home football games there from 1946 to 1950 before moving to Houston Stadium in 1951 to share with home tenant Rice University.
Ariel View of Texas U vs Rice U in 1950 in Houston Stadium/Rice Stadium
Houston U continued to play in Rice Stadium until 1965. It was then it moved into its new home, The Astrodome.
Beginning with the 1994 season, the Houston Cougars football team began splitting their home schedule with the Astrodome and Robertson Stadium.
The University of Houston ended its lease agreement to hold home football games at the Astrodome before the 1998 season, moving the entire home slate of games back to Robertson Stadium on campus for the first time since 1949. After the 1997 season, following renovations, the Cougars moved back into now named Robertson Stadium. The Astrodome currently remains the team’s longest serving home stadium.

Robertson Stadium hosted its final event, the Cougars’ season finale against Tulane, on November 24, 2012. The Cougars defeated the Green Waves 40-17 to finish their run at Robertson with a final record of 72-44-1. Official demolition of the stadium began on December 2, 2012, and major demolition began on December 10, 2012.
Demolition continued through the end of 2012 when the last remaining structures were taken down and all major demolition/cleanup activities were completed by the end of January 2013. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new stadium took place in early February, 2013.
While TDECU Stadium was under construction during the 2013 season, the Cougars played five of their seven home games at Reliant Stadium (now known as NRG Stadium). The other two home games in 2013 were played at BBVA Compass Stadium.
TDECU made its debut August 29, 2014 on the original spot of the Houston Public School Stadium.
Reports surfaced on July 7, 2014 that Texas Dow Employees Credit Union (TDECU) had purchased the naming rights to the stadium. TDECU is the largest credit union in the Houston area.”
GAME DAY TDECU STADIUM 11/17/16
I parked my Toyota car in a premium spot for $20 across the street from the Stadium.
While walking with the man who parked near me to the Stadium, my Pilgrimage was explained to him. Out of the blue, it was the first time anyone told me that they thought my Pilgrimage was ‘weird’.
When I asked him what was ‘weird’ about it, he responded, “You are traveling alone.” I looked at him and assured him, I was ‘Insane’ but not ‘weird’. I then said, “If I waited for others to share my Pilgrimages with me, they would start throwing dirt on me”. He laughed and said, “You have a point”.
For those of you reading this, if you have delayed doing things while you wait for others to join you, stop waiting, for the dirt will arrive before you know it.

This is Susan and her friend. Her recently passed husband, and her shared a passion for the Houston Cougars. They had season tickets starting in the 60’s at Rice Stadium. They moved with the team to the Astrodome. On they went with the team back to Robertson Stadium with a short stay at Reliant Stadium, before reaching their final destination at TDECU. History graced me with her beauty.
This is one hour before kick-off. The student section is almost filled in, minus the band.

GAME SUMMARY
There was a lot riding on this game. Louisville 9-1 was ranked #5 by the BCS Selection Committee. Houston was 8-2 with an opening season win over #8 Oklahoma 33-23 at NGR Stadium in Houston. Louisville was a 14 point favorite.
Louisville was in position for a possible semi-final berth for the National Championship. They were led at QB by Heisman Trophy hopeful, Lamar Jackson. Personally, I had taken an interest with Louisville the past few weeks as the game neared. Louisville had struggled in the last three games with slow starts.
With Lamar Jackson at the helm, he found ways to lead the Cardinals to second half victories.
The crowd was into it from the start. My hat is off to the students who filled their seats one hour before kick-off. As more fans filled in, more Clappers were being blown up.
My brain is saying “This is cool”. I am at a College Football Game that is disguised by a soccer crowd with Clappers. College Football and College Soccer are synonymous. The first game of College Football was played in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. It resembled soccer with 25 players per team.
For more on the history of College Football and other topics you are invited to read my post titled, Pro Football Player or PPA-Part 1 found in the PPA Section.
The student section led the ferocity of the charge as the teams lined up for the kick-off. Fans in front of me cheered, “This is our game”. If you blinked you missed it, a fumble by Louisville on the opening kick-off. Houston recovered it on the Cardinals 13 yard line. One play later, the Cougars were on the board 7-0.
This early break fueled the crowd increasing the rapid, pulsating beating of the Clappers. Thank goodness only the lower bowl got the Freebies, for this venue had risen my ‘Gooseflesh’. It was to be quite a spectacle.
Lamar Jackson and his entire Team, played as though the ‘Clappers’ put them under a spell. Jackson was sacked 11 times and the Cardinals committed 15 penalties for 114 yards, including at least 6 false starts.
The 5 minute recap tells the story
OVERALL SUMMARY OF TDECU STADIUM
Before I sing praises, please let me voice my Observations & Analysis. Houston U earlier this year petitioned to join the Big 12. This game in some eyes including mine would determine the interest for Houston U Football. Personally, if a university wants to step up in class to join a classier conference, they should pass the Test.
The Big 12 was correct in not accepting Houston’s petition for entrance. Whatever reasons the Big 12 gave for non-admittance, they can add my question, “How does an 8-2 home team playing against a #5 ranked 9-1 team with the leading Heisman Candidate not break or at least come close to, a record attendance for the game”? The Test was not passed.
TDECU Stadium is an infant compared to other College Football Stadiums. The parking around the Stadium is plentiful for the early comers at a reasonable cost and distance. Tailgating can be observed around the Stadium and the Cougar fans are extremely friendly. Smells of barbecue filled the air along with chatter of the crowd.
The fan store is located near the Stadium with plenty to walk around and observe. Inside the Stadium, the lower concourses are wide with a large variety of eateries and beverage stations. Each seat depending on the cost provides the ‘Best Seat’ in the house. The people in charge of planning and construction of TDECU deserve the ‘Tip of my Cap’.
The Prime-Time Night Game provided a special element. The fans that showed, especially the students, brought it all night long. After half time, I anticipated a let up. The Clappers and the alcohol said “NO WAY”. “We came for the ‘Upset’ and we are going to bring one home as the fans below kept chanting all second half, “This is our Game, this is our Game”.
The woman wearing her Houston U Varsity Tennis Letter Winner Jacket repeatedly led that charge as she slapped my hands numerous times with excitement. I watched in amazement a group of young and old fans bagging Clappers and cheering loudly all night long ringing my ears with the sounds of College Football.
As I was leaving TDECU Stadium, I thanked God and it for the ‘Blessings’ of the ‘Upset’. To the Cougar Fans in attendance, I too ‘Tip my ‘Cap’ for your effort for contributing to the ‘Upset’.
For in the morning, when you awoke and if your arms felt tired and sore, your throat was Froggy, and your head may have been throbbing, remember you gave your ‘Very Best’ for the ‘UPSET’, Houston 36-Louisville 10!!!
AMON G. CARTER STADIUM CREATES ‘BOLTS OF STUPIDITY’ & ‘A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS’—11/19/16
My vehicle hit the road late Friday morning for the 4 plus hour drive to Fort Worth, Texas. With my campsite set up about 3 miles from the Stadium, my first visit would be game day.
It was another 11 AM kick-off. Instead of breakfast, I have renamed it ‘Brunch’ at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The College Football Game entertainment would be #11 Oklahoma State U 8-2 @ TCU 5-4. OSU controlled its destiny. Two more wins and they would earn the Big 12 Championship.
After a slow start TCU had found its way during the month of November. With a whipping of 62-22 to Baylor and an extra week to prepare the outlook appeared to be bright for the Horned Frogs.
AMON G. CARTER STADIUM
Wikipedia and Others Write
“In 1923, TCU received a generous donation from Mary Couts Burnett, the widow of a wealthy and well known Texas rancher. The Burnett donation constituted the egg for TCU’s endowment. One condition of the Burnett donation was that a portion of it would be used for the construction of a new library, and it was decided to build the Mary Couts Burnett Library where the school’s athletic field, Clark Field, was then located.
The removal of Clark Field necessitated the construction of a new field for athletic competition, especially in the sport of football. TCU played its first season of football in 1896, and since then had built a reputation of excellence garnering national attention, and joined the Southwest Conference in 1923.
In 1928, the school received a generous gift from local newspaper magnate and philanthropist Amon G. Carter, and in 1930, the school opened Amon G. Carter Stadium, where the TCU football team still plays. Carter asked Andrew Poyar, one of the designers of Neyland Stadium at the University of Tennessee, to create the blueprints for the structure.
Amon Carter stadium was constructed from 1929 to 1930 with an original seating capacity of 22,000. The stadium hosted its first football game on October 11, 1930, when TCU defeated the University of Arkansas.
In the 1930s under head coach Dutch Meyer, the Horned Frogs won national championships in 1935 and 1938.
The first expansion of the stadium took place in 1948, with construction raising the capacity by 8,500 to a total of 30,500.
In 1951 and 1953, 2,500 and 4,000 more seats were added which raised capacity to 37,000 seats. An upper deck, topped by a two-story press box and highlighted with a large stylized “TCU”, was added in 1956. This brought the stadium’s capacity to 46,083.
In 1992, the artificial turf, which had been in place since 1973, was replaced with natural grass. (pic is early 90’s)
New club seats and luxury suites were added prior to the 2008 season, increasing capacity to 44,358.
In August 2010, TCU announced a $105 million reconstruction of the west side and north end zone of Amon G. Carter Stadium to better enhance football fans’ experience, upgrade amenities, and transform the historic Fort Worth icon into the “Camden Yards” of collegiate football stadiums.
Constructed in 1930 with a single addition in 1956, Amon G. Carter Stadium was in need of major renovations. A master plan study determined that, to achieve TCU’s programmatic needs, it was more cost-effective to demolish the existing stadium and rebuild it on the same site.
Work on the reconstruction, which is funded completely by donor support (no bonds nor debt), began with the implosion of the west stands on December 5, 2010. It was fully completed in 2012 and cost a total of $164 million.
HKS reimagined Amon G. Carter Stadium using the original 1920s linen drawings as the foundation for the renovation. The Southwestern art deco style of the original Amon G. Carter Stadium was the genesis of the new design, forming a strong emotional bond for the University, its alumni and the Fort Worth community.
The original stadium architecture followed the popular Southwestern style art deco found in and around the TCU campus and in Fort Worth’s central business district but was never fully realized.
The elements and motif of the Southwestern art deco style are used throughout the stadium to reinforce the heritage of TCU. The modern amenities and sustainable design position the University to succeed both on and off the field.
Fans entering the stadium from the west pass through the Founders Plaza, which contains tributes to families and foundations that donated an initial $15 million each toward the project. The Plaza’s ground plane depicts a street map, complete with streets, railroad and Trinity River, of Fort Worth the year the stadium was constructed.
The main concourse provides 360-degree views to the field allowing fans to stay connected with the action on the field, a feature seldom found in major college football stadiums. The stadium features six Founders suites and accompanying Founders lounge placed 20 rows from the field, making these suites closer to the field than in any other Division I program”.
Enjoy the short video tour
GAME DAY SATURDAY 11/19/16
Arriving about 3 hours before kick-off, I was able to secure valet parking in the nearby neighborhood for $30. Steve the owner of the place said the neighborhood was over 40 years old. Though he took a couple of pics, no pic is available. His house was 2 blocks from the Stadium.
Steve was very helpful explaining various aspects of the Stadium. His fee to park was the best price, for others were ranging $40-$60.
This is my first pic of the lot across the Stadium 3 hours before kick-off. Early sites are up.

‘BOLT OF STUPIDITY’ IS DEFINED
This is only a theory. Until others can prove otherwise, a theory it shall remain. After watching countless sporting events, players and sometimes coaches make a decision that create that moment when one asks, “Why did they do such a stupid thing? It could be a stupid penalty, foul or action for players. For coaches, it could be a stupid play call, or other stupid decisions that affect the outcome of the game.
If one was to ask the players why they committed such actions, overwhelming the response by the players would be, “I don’t know”. When coaches or managers are asked the same question, they appear to be like ‘deer in the headlights’. A gibberish answer is usually given as they defend their decision.
As humans play video games, it at times appear while watching sporting events, that the ‘Sporting Gods’ affect the outcome the game. With many options at their disposal to influence the contest, one most often used is the ‘Bolt of Stupidity’.
GAME SUMMARY
Even though Oklahoma State had a better record and a higher ranking, the odds makers had TCU as a slight favorite between 3-4 ½ points. With an extra week to prepare and coming off the rout of Baylor, TCU appeared to be finding their groove.
However, pre-game talk around the Stadium, indicated that Head Football Coach Gary Patterson was not a fan of the ‘Brunch Kick-off’ time. Unless players did not read or listen to the media, usually displeasures and pleasures of the coaches eventually arrive to their ears.
As Derek Hall said to me during the game, these ‘Brunch’ start times affect the ‘Natural Rhythm’ of players which can have an effect on their quality of play. As a fan, it definitely affected my ‘Natural Rhythm’ with the early wake-up call. (More on Derek Hall later.)
Both teams played the first half with intent, but very little was accomplished offensively. Trailing 10-3, TCU mounted a late drive of 74 yards to reach the Cowboys’ 1 yard line with 7 seconds on the clock. It was fourth and goal. TCU called a timeout. The Cowboys then countered with a timeout of its own.
‘Bolt of Stupidity’ #1 strikes the coaching staff of TCU which affected their play-call choice. Call me old school. To use a basketball comparison, if Larry Bird or Michael Jordan was on my team, the ball would be in their hands for the last shot. When TCU lined up, forfeiting the field goal, to go for six, my brain says the ball should be placed in the QB’s hands. He was the ‘Best Athlete’ on TCU’s offense.
Well, the play started like third down. The QB was lined up again as a wide receiver. The running back who was stopped for no gain on third down is now the QB again. With the ball in his hands, he ran towards his right to the goal line then he suddenly threw an incomplete pass.
Why the TCU coaches decided on that play, to take the football out of their ‘Best Athlete’ hands on the last play of the half and have a running back throw his one and only pass of the game can only be defined as a ‘Bolt of Stupidity’.
The second half favored the ‘Natural Rhythm’ of the Cowboys. As though reinvigorated by TCU’s ‘Bolt of Stupidity’, the Pokes increased their lead during quarter three to 24-6. TCU mounted a drive late in the 3rd quarter. A key 4th and one the from Ok St 36 yard had TCU ‘Best Athlete’ lined up as a wide-out receiver.
The running back took the direct snap and ran up the gut for a 3 yard gain to keep the drive going. Now facing 3 down and one from Ok St 5 yard line, the running back was handed the ball from the QB for no gain. The 3rd quarter ended.
Bolt of Stupidity’ #2 strikes TCU coaches during quarter break. Again with the opportunity to place the ball in their ‘Best Athlete’s’ hands and the game on the line, he was told his services were not needed. He lined up as a wide receiver. The Cowboys once again using the ‘Bolt of Stupidity’ for their advantage stopped the RB for no gain.
The Cowboys seized the momentum and marched 94 yards in 10 plays to seal the win 31-6.
TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson said this after the game. “I’m not even mad. I’m embarrassed because we got our butt kicked. Simple as that. I’m not just talking about the players. It’s our job as coaches to find the answers. I’m embarrassed for them and for me”.
As one impartial spectator, Coach Patterson responded as a ‘Deer in Headlights’. If not for the 2 ‘Bolts of Stupidity’ that struck the TCU coaching staff, the outcome of the game could have been different.
Their butt kicking was the result of the 2 ‘Bolts of Stupidity’ not by the lack of effort by his players. Coach Patterson should be ‘embarrassed’ for himself and his coaching staff. Perhaps the ‘Brunch Kick-off’ time had something to do with it and the ‘Natural Rhythm’ of his coaching staff.
A ‘RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS’
The above words speak for themselves. When such an act is bestowed on one, one should acknowledge it and give thanks for the ‘blessings’. While watching the game during the third quarter from my new view, a family with two daughters joined in my area.
I noticed in the hands of one of the daughters a stuffed replica of the Horned Frog. Intrigued by it, I started a conversation about it. The entire family joined in the conversation as we discussed the stuffed Horn Frog. My interest was where it could be purchased.
That conversation led to more conversations as the game entertained us. My Pilgrimage was discussed and stories of the father were shared with me. He said he enjoyed visiting Las Vegas, and he had fond memories of visiting his Grandparents as a child in St George, Utah.
His love for nature was quite evident as he shared his passion for Zion National Park and the surrounding areas of St George. Before parting, I placed my card in his hands and directed him to my website. With my ‘Natural Rhythm’ out of whack, if he told me his name it did not compute. He did say as he was leaving, he would visit my site.
I continued watching the game as minutes passed when I felt a tap on my shoulder. The unknown man had in his hands a stuffed Horn Frog. He presented it to me and said this was from his family. May it remind you of your Pilgrimage to TCU.
As I was saying thanks, this man started to walk away. I said to him, “I don’t know your name.” He replied, “I have your card. I will contact you.” Thoughts about this ‘Random Act of Kindness’ reverberated in my thoughts throughout the rest of the game.
It brought back memories of my childhood. On TV serving the justice with ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ in the state of Texas was the Lone Ranger. His calling card was the ‘silver bullet’. Tying the two together, this unknown man must also be a Lone Ranger. Instead of a ‘silver bullet’ his calling card and ‘blessing’ came in the form of a stuffed Horn Frog.
To Derek Hall, aka The Lone Ranger, and his family, your calling card will bless my home and travel with me always on future Pilgrimages to serve as a reminder for your ‘Random Act of Kindness’. Thank you.
OVERALL SUMMARY
My visit was short, in on Friday afternoon out on Monday morning. Saturday was game day with Sunday a writing day and a 3R day. A ‘tip of my cap’ goes to the following:
* the designers of the remodeled Amon G Carter Stadium
* the friendly staff around and inside the Stadium, including Steve my valet park attendant
* the faithful of both Oklahoma State and TCU for their friendliness and welcomeness
There was an unexplainable natural vibe surrounding the Stadium. That itself would be a reason for me to visit again. With more time to explore, TCU campus and the surrounding area may offer the same vibe. Fort Worth’s traffic was bearable, unlike the traffic in Austin.
Amon G Carter Stadium offers general admission seating, just like the good olde days, in the one end zone where my seat was. I actually stood without blocking another’s view. This has been the first Stadium to offer GA seats during my Pilgrimages.
If you do decide to attend a game at TCU, I encourage you to keep a lookout for the Lone Ranger and his ‘Random Acts of Kindness’.
Steps 2 & 3 of the 2016 College Football Pilgrimage are now in the book. The Cathedral at College Station is my last stop.
Until then, tell others about the Insanity and Fixins of Fox/Feather and remember to PLAYIN YOUR DREAMS.
