Horned Frog Fever

First, I apologize for my lack of blogging. Clark was sick, then Walker was sick and I was sick somewhere in the middle. Having a sick house doesn't leave much time for blogging! But, we are on the mend, so I'm back!

And, I have a lot to say.

It's about my Frogs. Yes, my mighty Horned Frogs. Number FOUR in the nation. I could use all kinds of adjectives for this... amazing, unbelievable, shocking and most of all... exciting.

I know I've told this story before, but it's worth mentioning again. When I was at TCU, nobody cared about the football team. The stands were empty. Sure, some of the frats would have a tailgate or two, but nobody went to the game. My junior year, we went 1-10 and tore down the goal posts after beating SMU the last game of the season. Embarrassing. But, my senior year, things changed. We had a winning record and beat Carson Palmer and the mighty USC Trojans in the Sun Bowl. That was a huge turning point. Since that 1998 season, we have been to a bowl game every season but one. Gary Patterson took over in 2000 and his record is 72-27. Amazing.

But, even with all the wins and bowl games, if you had told me we would be #4, undefeated and GameDay was going to be at TCU game for the second time in one season I would have told you that you were crazy!

Now, here is where I have to keep my emotions in check. All season we've been ranked in the top 12 and I've had my hopes up for a good BCS game. Seriously, that's all I need. BUT, now that we are #4, there is all kinds of "possible BCS buster for the national championship" talk. Honestly, I don't want to listen to the talk, because I might get my hopes up.

Seriously, possibly play for a national championship??? I know, a LOT of things would have to happen for that to actually occur. Starting with us winning all our games!

The thing that is weird in this scenario... Texas is #3. The old Deana would be rooting for a quick and decisive Longhorn loss. But, Clark has brought me around to the dark side, so I guess I'm rooting for Florida and Alabama losses. Then we would have a really interesting situation. Texas #1 and TCU #2. Whoa. Since I'm the one to dress Walker, I'm pretty sure he would be wearing purple that day!

Again, I'm ahead of myself. We have to get through Utah on Saturday. What a great day. GameDay is in Fort Worth from 9am-11am. The Longhorns play Baylor at 11am. Then TCU takes on Utah at 6:30. Plenty of time for wardrobe changes!
