Frog Day Afternoon

As the father of two Texas Christian University (TCU) students, I could not let this weekend go by without taking a few moments to enjoy a small amount of pride and happiness. Horned Frogs 17, Sooners 10.

Yes, Virginia, defense wins football games.

It was just last night while leaving a high school game, when a friend of ours (who has two children attending Oklahoma University) mentioned that tomorrow he'd be enjoying a brunch featuring frog legs.

Heh, heh! He who laughs last indeed.

Of course the Sooners are "rebuilding" and they're a "young" team and it's not "the team from last year" and blah, blah, blah... Sure. Bless their hearts.

Meanwhile, I'll point to the humble Horned Frogs who hail from a school considerably smaller and who are often overlooked (ok, last season we deserved it) for their talent and great coaching.

Oh, did I mention that TCU won in Boomer Sooner Territory?

During a turbulent and sad weekend as we still try to comprehend the situation in the Gulf Coast area, at least for now there is a little happiness in Texas.

Still, TCU's regular season starts next week and there are 10 games to go. Of course, I sincerely hope and pray that the Sooners go undefeated (from this moment forward).

Go Frogs!
