Remember when your parents used to tell you "it's just a game"? Forget it, that is not true with TCU football. Freshman, here is a guide to help you survive your first football season. Upperclassman, here is a refresher to help you enjoy another great season.
1. Stock up on purple.
Purple dresses, purple pants, purple polos, and purple purses. Oh, and some boots too. Stock up on all your purple gear because it is about to be put to good use.
2. Don't be surprised to find a mechanical bull or blow up slide.
You never know what to expect at a tailgate. Wear shorts under that cute purple dress just in case you want to partake in some fun activities.
3. Stay hydrated.
Texas summers are no joke. Standing in the student section for hours is brutal. Make sure to stay hydrated. No one wants to catch a friend passing out in the stands.
4. Wear sunscreen.
The sun is intense. We have all suffered from a necklace, purple, or strap burn. Please learn from our mistakes and wear sunscreen so you don't have a bizarre tan the next day.
5. Prepare to sweat.
You know those towels they hand out that we are supposed to wave in the air? They are great for drying your sweat. Get prepared to sweat a lot and take all your pictures right when you get into the stadium–because you won't look good after 30 minutes in the Texas heat.
So, fellow horned frogs, pull out your purple and be prepared to scream your head off. If you have a voice the day after game day, you did it wrong.
