FWST: Something about TCU has Patterson ‘excited to see what unfolds’
BY CARLOS MENDEZÂ cmendez@star-telegram.com
It’s rare to hear “excited†come out of Gary Patterson’s mouth when it comes to the potential of a TCU football team.
Not because he isn’t. Or hasn’t been.
But because he doesn’t usually say so.
Especially in the spring and summer, before a game has been played, the veteran TCU coach uses phrases like “paper tigers†and “we’ll see†and “right now there are no stars.â€
But he went to Big 12 Media Days on Monday at the Dallas Omni hotel, sat for his formal news conference and a minute into it, said, “I’m a lot more excited right now than I was a season ago.â€
