FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
We are committed to putting together as attractive a football schedule as we can. We had originally agreed as a conference for the Boise State game to be a home game for us. To see it now reversed and moved to a road game is disappointing for our fans and community. We were also disappointed that Texas Tech chose not to come to Fort Worth this fall. Our focus right now is on finding opponents to complete our 2011 schedule. We hope to have our non-conference games finalized and announced soon.
A LEGEND RETURNS HOME
Please make every effort to be at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum for Saturday's 5 p.m. home men's basketball game with Air Force. We'll be honoring Horned Frog great James Cash. It's also Lettermen's Association Night. Discounted tickets for $5 are available for Lettermen's Association members from any of our sports. The tickets must be purchased on-line on the TCU Athletics Ticket Office Web site (www.GoFrogs.com) and by entering the code of Lettermen in the open box on the page.
THE LEAGUE LEADERS
Our women's basketball team, which hosts New Mexico tonight at 6:30, is undefeated in the Mountain West Conference and sitting atop the league standings. We're also receiving votes again in the top 25. We hope to see you this evening in the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.
HONORING THE PAST
We'll have another Lettermen's Day next Saturday, Feb. 5, at our 2 p.m. home women's game with San Diego State. Our 2000-01 WAC championship women's team will be recognized. For more information, please check the Lettermen's Association Web site (http://lettermens.tcu.edu).
WELCOME STEELERS
We look forward to hosting the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers as they'll be practicing at TCU in preparation for the Super Bowl. The practices are closed to the public, so there won't be an opportunity for any fan interaction. The Steelers and ESPN will be headquartered in downtown Fort Worth. We will have one Horned Frog in the big game. Former TCU offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse is a member of the Green Bay Packers.
EXPOSURE
Make sure to pick up a copy of the winter edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football. The Horned Frogs are featured on the front cover.
SOUVENIR DVDs
Our 2010 football season commemorative DVD is now available on our on-line store (http://shop.gofrogs.com). It's a game-by-game recap of our 13-0 campaign with radio calls from Brian Estridgeand interviews with members of our senior class. The on-line store also has a DVD of the Rose Bowl game broadcast.
