Frog Stuff

As TCU prepares for the Ponies this weekend, some Frog numbers for you to digest. Since the demise of the SWC after the '95 season, the Frogs are 118-54 and 108-37 since Dennis Franchione took over in 1998. This includes a 7-4 bowl record since '98, 7 appearances in the final AP poll, and 5 conference championships. They have 13 players on NFL rosters and have had 5 1st-team AP All-Americans since 2000. When they appeared in the final AP poll in 2000, it was the first time since 1959. Suffice to say that Franchione was a pretty good hire since it also brought Patterson on board.

Jones is closing the gap. Ponies moved the ball and played really hard, killed by a long kickoff return and 2 interceptions deep in their end. Despite another win, if I'm Patterson I lose some sleep because I can see Jones creeping up. They are going to fight for the same players; I can see it getting interesting in the years to come.
