JoePa's Legacy Forever Tarnished
I know this isn’t a TCU issue, but it is a college
football issue so I feel like I should weigh in. We have all heard what went on
with Jerry Sandusky and the children he molested. The criminal trial is over
and justice has been served. Sandusky will never see the light of day. That wasn’t
the final chapter in the Penn State saga though. Today, Louis Freeh, the former
director of the FBI who was hired by university trustees to look into this
scandal released his findings, and it’s disgusting.
One sentence from the report sums up the entire
report and shows what kind of person Joe Paterno really is…”Four of the most powerful people at the Pennsylvania State University-
President Graham B. Spanier, Senior Vice President- Finance and Business Gary
C. Schultz, Athletic Director Timothy M. Curley, and Head Football Coach Joseph
V. Paterno- failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children
for over a decade.”
That sentence makes my stomach churn. I had always
though Joe Paterno was extremely overrated, but this takes it outside the realm
of football and into something much deeper. Joe Paterno isn’t the all-time
winningest college football coach, he is a criminal and will always be linked
to child molestation in my book. JoePa was more concerned about money and
winning than he was the wellbeing of others. He pulled the wool over everyone’s
eyes for years. The sickest part is we all know this didn’t just start in 1998.
Who knows how long Joe Paterno let this go on.
A lot of people are now calling for Penn State to
receive the death penalty and I agree completely. I don’t care if this is
outside the realm of the NCAA or whatever. Something needs to be done. If any
school has ever deserved the death penalty, it is Penn State. I’ve also heard
people say, “well you shouldn’t punish the current Penn State coaches and
athletes, they had nothing to do with it.” Where were those people when the current USC
players and coaches were punished because of Reggie Bush? How about all the
other instances where players were punished for something someone no longer on
the team did? It happens all the time.
Hopefully Penn State does the right thing and
totally cleans house. Everyone needs to be fired and the University needs to
restart its athletic department from scratch. They also need to rip down that
Joe Paterno statue ASAP because it’s embarrassing.
Joe Paterno’s legacy is forever ruined, and
deservedly so.

The Top Ten Moments In TCU's MWC History #5: TCU 47, Utah 7
It was a battle of top five teams as the #3 ranked
Horned Frogs strolled into Salt Lake City to take on #5 Utah (#5 vs. #6 in
BCS.) The hype built all week long. ESPN’s College Gameday was broadcasting
outside of Rice-Eccles Stadium. It was billed as the biggest game in Mountain
West Conference history. The second largest crowd in Utah school history was on
hand. The Utes had the black out in full effect. Everyone thought it would be
the game of the week, but really…it was over after the first quarter. To read

There's Only One Thing Left to Do
If you are a TCU fan you have heard the smack talk
from opposing fans that goes something like…TCU can’t even fill its own
stadium, TCU uses opposing fans to fill Among G. Carter, TCU will never go to a
BCS bowl, TCU wouldn’t survive being in a "real" conference…I could
go on and on. To read more, go to

Don't Be Surprised That Aaron Green Chose TCU
Over the weekend highly recruited running back Aaron
Green announced he would be transferring from Nebraska to TCU. It’s a big time
pickup for the Frogs, and I know TCU fans are excited, but should you really be
that surprised that Green chose TCU?

I'm Taking My Talents to FrogsOWar.com
Sometimes change is needed.
There is a big change coming to AngryTrey.com
starting today. I have decided to take my talents to FrogsOWar.com. All of my
TCU related content can now be found exclusively on Frogs O War.
I will still be posting on AngryTrey.com it just won’t
be TCU related. I will still blog about the Mavs, uniforms, and other things over
here occasionally, but all my TCU thoughts and info will be on FrogsOWar.com. I
will post links on here to my other stuff so you can easily find it, but you
should go ahead and add FrogsOWar.com to your bookmark list.
Thanks to everyone that has checked out the blog
over the last couple of years. It turned into something I never thought it
would. Now it’s time to take another step and make the coverage of the Horned
Frogs even better.

The Carter Almost Sold Out
The seat selection process for the new Amon G.
Carter stadium is still underway, but there aren’t many seats left. The entire
east side and north end zone are now sold out. There looks to be less than a
hundred seats remaining on the west side and I expect those to go fast.
I knew the Big 12 would bring added excitement to
the program, but I never expected season ticket renewals to go like this. Never
in a million years did I think the east side would sell out. I feel bad for
those that haven’t picked yet, but it is awesome to see the entire stadium
almost sold out completely before even one game is played.
Now if we can just keep those extra tickets off of
stubhub, we will be ok.
