This morning the Frogs took off for Lawrence, Kansas and the beautiful setting that is Memorial Stadium – it sits at the bottom of the hill with a bell tower at the top of the hill. (I played there 30 years ago this week – and, yes, we lost 30-19, blowing several red zone opportunities and going home on a very quiet plane.)
If you’ve ever been to Kansas State’s campus, then you know that the Rock-Chalkers picked the best piece of real estate in the Sunflower State for their campus – it is beautiful.
Now, on to matters that you’re concerned with, as am I.
Here we go, again. The FIRST time.
Seems like we were just at BYU in 2005, starting up our MWC existence. OR at Houston in 2001 filling out our CUSA change of address card. OR at New Mexico in 1996, kicking off our WAC membership.
Get it?
The Frogs are starting over, albeit in a better neighborhood, and there’s lot to prove.
The slate is wiped clean. And nobody cares that you beat #5 Utah 47-7, or trounced BYU home and away.
What people do remember is that TCU won the Rose Bowl and they expect to see THAT team week in and week out in a league full of Wisconsins.
So buckle your seat belts, here we go. The Frogs are opening the Big 12 for real on Saturday and here’s hoping that Gary Patterson’s young team is up for a Big Day to match.
Kick ’Em High!
