New TCU athletic director Danny Morrison has rewarded coach Gary Patterson for their 10-1 season with a five-year extension on a contract that was scheduled to expire in 2007.

Patterson said last week he was happy at TCU. But Patterson, a native of Larned, Kan., said it would be a good opportunity to coach at his alma mater.

Patterson decided to commit to the Horned Frogs long term.

“TCU is just special, and as we have said to our players and recruits any season that we’ve been here, there is no better place to get a quality education and play football,” Patterson said.

No argument there.

In five seasons, Patterson is the only TCU coach to record three 10-win seasons, and his 42 wins are fourth on the school’s career victory list.

Okay…I’ll concede the point.&#160 Maybe – just maybe&#160 – I’ve been a little bit harsh on Mr. Patterson the last couple of years.

HOWEVER…!!!

Memo to whoever’s reading me over there at TCU:&#160 Win your bowl game.&#160 Then come back next year and minimize whatever drop-off you experience from 10-1.&#160 Prove to us that this year wasn’t a fluke.

And in 2007, the next time you play SMUT…there had best damned well be the Mother of All Squashes.&#160 Else I’m gonna be all over you guys like a cheap suit.

On to what is very probably the last PFW of the year.&#160 No high school team in the hunt, and the aforementioned Horned Frogs are off until the EV1.net bowl New Year’s Eve, but I still have three teams in the hunt.

Thanksgiving day, the Dallas Cowboys are at home against the Denver Broncos in the late game.&#160 Denver’s 8-2, and the consensus is that they’re a better team than the ‘Boys, a premise with which I would agree.

But Denver is vulnerable on the road, and even moreso with the short week, so we’ll see.&#160 But it will not surprise me to see the Cowboys drop this one.&#160 My hunch right now is give me Dallas and 8.

Friday, the Arkansas Razorbacks travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU and Bo Pelini’s defense.

This should be a double-whammy game for me, as Arkansas is one of my anti-teams; just to give you an idea…well, Denizens, you’re aware of how I despise the (hack, spit) Texas Longhorns (hack, spit)???&#160 Well, Arkansas is the only team they could play where I’ll actually pull for them.

Anyway, I’ll take LSU and give you 21.&#160 I’m looking for a major squash here.

On Saturday, the Oklahoma Sooners will host rival Oklahoma State at Memorial Stadium.&#160 OSU’s down this year, so Oklahoma should win comfortably.&#160 Then again, OU still should have beaten TCU, so…

Recap and benediction will be either Sunday or Monday.&#160 In the meantime, feel free to talk about your teams.&#160 Maybe this week, I’ll even pay attention. (grin)

One response to “PFW:&#160 Okay, maybe&#160 I was a little hard on ‘im…”

  1. I will be at the game tomorrow. The Random Wife works security at Texas Stadium and she gets to bring one guest.

    I’m not as big a football fan as a hockey fan, but it’s the Thankgiving Day game!
