Don’t be surprised if TCU coach Gary Patterson adds baby aspirin to his Christmas wish list this holiday season.
That’s what Patterson joked he’d need if TCU and Cal are headed toward a gritty, grind-it-out game at the Cheez-It Bowl in Phoenix on Dec. 26.
“When you get to my age, you have got to take a lot of baby aspirin when you do that,” Patterson said, chuckling.
Well, all signs point toward this TCU-Cal matchup fitting the “gritty” and “grind-it-out” bill. Vegas has pegged TCU as 2-point favorites over Cal, according to VegasInsider.
