Ex-TCU head coach who influenced modern football offenses has died

He coached at TCU during an impossible time, and his record is forgettable, but F.A. Dry has a distinctive place in the history of a program in an effort to end its worst era, and his fingerprints still exist in modern offenses. Dry, who coached at TCU from 1977 to ‘82, died on Wednesday in Fort Worth. He was 95. “He hung on for us for as long as he could because we weren’t ready to let him go,” said his son, Mike, who played football at TCU for his dad. Dry’s record at TCU was 12-51-3, and his best season was his last when the team finished 3-8. Dry arrived at TCU after a successful run at Tulsa, where he won four consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles as head coach, and was eventually enshrined in the school’s Hall of Fame. F.A. Dry’s time at TCU At TCU, Dry experienced what the majority of TCU football coaches did in that era when he discovered competing against Texas, Texas A&M, SMU and Arkansas in the Southwest Conference was an overwhelming task. “F.A. Dry didn’t get the credit he deserves for what he did for the football program at TCU,” said John

They sought country living. Then Fort Worth annexed the land next door

If the American Dream is a house with a picket fence and a two-car garage, the Texas Dream is a house with a picket fence, a two-car garage and enough open space that you can do what you want without bothering your neighbor and — more importantly — without your neighbor bothering you. The problems start, though, when one of those neighbors is a real estate developer with enough land, money and sway to remake a neighborhood, igniting a debate over property rights. Just ask the residents of Redbird Lane, a narrow country road that intersects with FM 1187 a few miles east of Interstate 35W in southern Tarrant County. There, urban expansion is happening faster than some would like, leading to a complicated, if not entirely unique, situation in which homeowners believe their quality of life is eroding as development aspirations threaten to bring crowds to their doorsteps. Expansion collides with rural living in south Tarrant County The neighborhood of around 40 homes on Redbird Lane and adjacent Mockingbird Road is like a community unto itself. The houses sit on a couple of acres or more, so the area attracts the kind of person looking to escape the crush

Development brings 199 homes to rural Tarrant County road. Here's what to know

Residents along Redbird Lane in southern Tarrant County moved to the area for its open space and country quiet. Now a 199-home Pulte development is being built next door after the city of Fort Worth annexed that land, and neighbors worry about traffic, flooding and what comes next on the remaining acres. FULL STORY: They sought country living. Then Fort Worth annexed the land next door Here are key takeaways: In 2021, Parks of Village Creek, LLC — tied to Fort Worth-based James R. Harris Partners — bought roughly 100 acres of pastureland at the intersection of FM 1187 and Redbird Lane a few miles east of Interstate 35W and signed a pre-annexation agreement with Fort Worth. Pulte purchased 60-plus acres and is now building a 199-home community there. Susan Schaumburg, whose property is nearby, said FM 1187 is already congested enough, and the expected increase in traffic from the new development will only worsen that. There’s also the worry that traffic will increase on Redbird Lane, which is barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass. Chad Brantley, who lives across from the Pulte site, told the Fort Worth Zoning Commission and City Council that Pulte’s rezoning application wrongly

Democrats swept the nation's largest red county. Now a group of Republicans want new leaders

An open letter from several Texas Republicans in what had been known as the largest red county in the nation demands new leadership at the helm of the county party after voters swept Democrats into office in last week’s midterm. Democrats won all of the statewide races in Texas and all of the countywide races in Tarrant County, deserting its title of the largest red county in the nation. Fort Worth is the county seat of Tarrant County. The letter says Tarrant County voters still believe in conservative policies but made it clear they were done with the Republican Party taking them for granted. Organized by former Southlake Mayor John Huffman, the letter was signed by 16 Republicans , most of whom have served as mayors, representatives, school board members and precinct chairs. Other Republicans who believe in the sentiments are welcome to sign on too, Huffman said. Notably missing from the list are Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare and Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker. Neither responded to the Star-Telegram’s requests for comment. By electing Democrats from top to bottom, voters said they were not pleased with the Republicans’ performance in office, commitment to kitchen table issues and divisive party

Kansas State Wildcats rule 5 football players out ahead of road game at TCU

The Kansas State football team will be down at least five players when it takes on TCU at 1 p.m. Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium. K-State listed a handful of players as “out” and one player as “questionable” on its first availability report of the week, which was released by the Big 12 on Wednesday. Starting quarterback Avery Johnson is once again the biggest name on the report. The senior passer from Wichita will miss his fourth straight game with the Wildcats as he continues to deal with lingering issues from a neck/shoulder injury he suffered last month against Kansas. Backup quarterback Jacob Knuth will also remain on the sideline and miss his third straight game with an ankle injury. That means K-State football coach Collin Klein will once again choose between Blake Barnett and Dillon Duff at quarterback this week. Earlier this week, he said he had no timetable for selecting a starter. But he expects both of them to play. The other K-State football players listed as “out” are defensive tackle De’Arieun Hicks, linebacker Sawyer Schilke and defensive tackle Eli Jackson. Wide receiver Max Lovett is considered “questionable.” There is some good news to share on the
