Horned Frogs join Rose Bowl’s rich history

Published Dec 9, 2010

California and Southern California played at the newly-renovated Rose Bowl on Oct. 28, 1922, and since then, the Rose Bowl has been the site of numerous New Year's Day college football games.

Eighteen Heisman Trophy winners, 28 national champions and 191 consensus All-Americans have played at Pasadena's historic stadium and the Horned Frogs have a chance to join the list.

Head coach Gary Patterson said he does not know if his players will realize the magnitude of the game until they walk onto the field to face Wisconsin.

College Gameday offers mixed feedback of Bowl’s significance

Published Dec 9, 2010

Kirk Herbstreit's live college football analysis is likely the last thing that would entice TCU students to wake up at 7 a.m. on New Year's Day. But because of the Rose Parade starting just an hour later, it may be worth the morning struggle.

The College GameDay crew will broadcast the Frogs' final game of the season with a live pre-game show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Since its inaugural road show in 1993, College GameDay has visited eight Rose Bowl match-ups.

This is the second time the show will be at a TCU game this season.

For many TCU students, seeing the football team selected for the Rose Bowl was like Christmas come early.

They supported the team through 12 straight victories this season, witnessed the final game in Amon G. Carter Stadium and woke up at 8 a.m. to purchase bowl game tickets. Now the only thing keeping those fans from cheering on the Frogs in Pasadena is 1,400 miles.

The same day TCU said goodbye to 80-year-old Amon G. Carter Stadium, the No. 3 Horned Frog football team said hello to its future appearance in the Rose Bowl against No. 5 Wisconsin.

Fans woke up early Sunday morning to see the historical landmark imploded, and just 12 hours later, the same fans gathered at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum to see where the Frogs would end their 2010 season.

Radio Voice of the Frogs Brian Estridge said to head football coach Gary Patterson, "On the day we blow up Amon G. Carter Stadium, we blow up the BCS."
