After a rare losing season, TCU coach Gary Patterson knew what was next for the Horned Frogs.
“Spring gets a lot tougher,” he said. “Being 6-6, 6-7 with the bowl game is not what we like.”
But every team every spring wants to get tough. At Texas, new coach Tom Herman stripped the logos off the workout gear. Texas Tech made a similar move.
In Fort Worth, Patterson restored the “Night of Champions,” a weightlifting contest to mark the end of the offseason work ahead of the start of spring practice.
