On a soggy field Saturday in Ireland, just before halftime of the season's first major college football game, a snapped ball sailed high over the TCU punter's head.
It wound up being kicked out the back of the end zone for a safety, and ESPN predictably showed multiple replays of this gaffe, from a variety of angles.
At that moment, coach Sonny ******* s and his Horned Frogs showed remarkable restraint.
Despite their established urges, they did not demand that ESPN pack up its cameras and leave the stadium.
This, in light of how TCU had handled unflattering media coverage heading into the game, represented real growth. It also reminded us of one of the most enjoyable parts of college football, which returned in sloppy earnest Saturday with the Horned Frogs' 15-10 loss to North Carolina at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
