Thanks to Aggies, #TCU15 backfires in spectacular fashion

The greatest story you'll see today began in the clever minds of the top brass at the TCU athletic department and evolved into the One True Champion of Super Regional ticket sales right on the TexAgs forums.

With the intent of preventing tickets to the Texas A&M-TCU Super Regional in Fort Worth from falling into the hands of those loud, mean ol' Aggies, TCU cooked up an idea. Even the on-the-berm GA seating, the seats not already given to TCU season-ticket holders and other alumni, would be protected and first released secretly to only the purple-clad. Complete home dominance would be assured — and with it, victory.

The Frogs wrapped this beautiful idea up in an impenetrable lock and key, a defense system to rival the greatest fortress. It was a covert operation for the ages. It was a word whispered in the shadows.

It was "TCU15".

Now, where could this plan go awry? Well, the man with the self-destruct button was TCU Athletic Director Chris Del Conte himself.

After the masterfully encrypted "TCU15" password was emailed out to loyal Horned Frogs, Del Conte went a step further and posted it on Twitter. Which, it's probably fair to say, was ... a mistake.

An enterprising Aggie got his hands on the code and brought it to the TexAgs Premium forum, where it was on like Donkey Kong. Ags from all over began snapping up the GA tickets, which it appears were intended to be for TCU students as well. Were.

The tickets sold out before Thursday's public release and the story was hilarious enough to earn a tip of the hat from Total Frat Move, which featured a TexAgs mention, some sweet glimpses of general saltiness from KillerFrogs users and a parting shot: “Just saying, but SMU wouldn’t make this kind of mistake.” But the best reaction came from Twitter.

















Happy gigging, Ags.

If I'm looking at this correctly, are all the Ags who purchased tickets going to be sitting in that small grassy area? Doesn't even look like you can see the batter from there?

I've never been to Lupton, so someone who has could probably provide better insight. But from what I can tell, that is the GA area that all these tickets that were purchased correspond to.

No idea, I saw only about 6 comments or so before it got deleted. Nothing looked bad or flag-able the last time I looked at it.
