The 2009 season is one of high hopes for Coach Patterson and the Horned Frogs. A mighty change is abroad, the Frogs are now in the Big 12!
"We have advocated all along that we deserve to be in the discussion with the big conferences and to be invited to the Big 12 justifies what we have been working on" Patterson says...
With a new conference and new opponents TCU expects a tough challenge ahead. "We will be playing a whole new schedule, and that in itself will be a change we have to deal with, we will play the likes of Oklahoma, Texas, A&M, Texas Tech, and the Big 12 North as well....We look forward to the opportunity to compete with these high profile schools."
We feel that we have the athletes to compete, and it will come down to finding weaknesses in our opponents and taking full advantage of them"
I will go on to tell the fans, that expectations are high, and always will be. But lets be realistic, first year in the Big 12 may see some struggles. However, we will give 100% all the time, and before you know it we will make our mark on the conference"
