On Tuesday, head coach Gary Patterson called for the TCU community to support his team as it worked toward an undefeated season.

When Jonathan Bornstein scored the most amazing header of his life in the fifth minute of stoppage time during the USA/Costa Rica game Oct. 14, I jumped, screamed, yelled and celebrated idiotically, like I'm sure every other U.S. soccer fan did at that moment.
