Great way to get this BB season going.

[GrandGreen]

TCU is ranked #20 in Coaches pre-season poll.

Not sure you can put to much on a secret scrimmage game, but I take it as a real good sign.

Wow that’s impressive!!

[cogido]

Yup, it already feels different !

[CMJ]

I don't wanna put too much stock in a scrimmage - especially since we don't know how it went with playing time, etc.

 

Nonetheless, it appears to be a very positive sign.

[Green Lantern]

Mean Green starting the pre-season like.

I would love to see some stats from this scrimmage.

The exciting thing about the season starting is that we finally can start putting stock in victories. This team has beat every opponent they have faced since they swapped out the Benford guys for the Mccasland guys in the starting lineup, and handily in nearly every case, but we’ve been hesitant to put too much stock in the victories because of the opponent or setting. Including the CBI, at least to a degree.

Mccasland and the team are doing all the right things and saying all the right things so far. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.

North Texas did lose Game 1 of the CBI final at San Fransisco.

True, but they have beaten every opponent....just not won every game

Word on the street is it was an undisclosed Safeway parking lot.

I wouldn't put any stock in a super secret scrimmage game either, but if we aren't ranked at least #19 in the next coaches poll I am going to be pissed off.

the scrimmages are usually run as a regular game and have officials from the conference using the game as warm up as well.
