The Horned Frogs' 82-27 home victory over Texas Tech on Saturday came with a cost: They scored so many points that they burned through their season supply of fireworks.

Drew Martin, TCU's assistant AD for marketing and licensing, said Monday he's working with the school's game-day pyrotechnician to determine just how big a fireworks order the school needs to place for its final two home games.

Now that, friends, is a problem I would like to have.

Apparently they have shot roughly 200 pounds worth of fireworks this season.

Man, I wish we had a high powered offense that lit up scoreboards, or at the very least at least put an emphasis on getting points on the board.

This is a problem that the Hokies won't have to worry about for a while

Something something, Jim Weaver planned for our offense to suck so he didn't have to spend money on fireworks.

I saw that story the other day and I think every comment that has been mentioned above went through my head. Gotta be a nice problem to have.

The last 2 times we played Miami at night at home, there was a nice fireworks display the next evening with all the unused arsenal being fired off.

It was probably the Diwali celebration. Every year they shoot off fireworks for it and this year it lined up with last Thursday which means they probably pushed the celebration to Friday.

When they let those fireworks off right before the end of halftime I was
getting a drink and nearly pissed myself. Whole different sound in the
concourse (and when alcohol is involved). LOL
