Only two times in the 18 full seasons featuring Gary Patterson as the head coach of TCU Football have the Horned Frogs not made a bowl game. Those two seasons, of course, coincide with the only two losing seasons of Patterson’s career - in 2004 and 2013. Each of those poor campaigns were followed by double-digit win seasons; in 2005 the Frogs went 11-1, winning the Mountain West in their first season as a conference member by going 8-0 in league play. In 2014, well, we all remember that magical season, one just ticks on a clock away from perfection and a chase for a National Title.
