One of my categories is named CPD Chronicles which isn’t self explanatory so I thought I’d give the full name it represents and fill in a bit of historical background. CPD stands for Coach Patterson’s Dog which is my handle on the Killerfrogs.com forums aka the Frog Fan Forum. Several years ago when TCU was struggling to go 1-10 for the season and the future looked bleak for frog football, I discovered the Frog Fan Forum where we cussed and discussed about what needed to change to revive this once proud program. At that time my handle was Frazzled Frog because my nerves were frazzled by the seeming apathy within the athletic department. As luck would have it we got a new athletic director and a new football coach and haven’t really looked back since. Coach Fran got the football program back on it’s feet in short order and all was well until he decided to leave for the greener pastures of Alabama. We warned him if the Alabama fans were to get angry with him they would threaten to kill his dog among other things. What we percieved as a loss when Coach Fran left turned out to be a major blessing with the hiring of Gary Patterson. So after Fran left and we hired Coach Patterson I decided to become Coach Patterson’s Dog after all we were successful and I wasn’t frazzled any more. Our springer spaniel, MacDuff, is my avatar and online image for CPD. Any time I post about TCU or TCU sports it will be categorized as CPD Chronicles for Coach Patterson’s Dog always has the inside scoop on the latest poop (I wish).

As long as this is about TCU, I want to congratulate the five TCU players taken in the recent NFL Draft: Aaron Brown, Blake Schleuter, Stephen Hodge, Robert Henson and Jason Phillips. We had more NFL draftees than any other university in Texas and tied for 10th nationally. All this after finishing at No. 7 in the nation in the final football polls further emphasizes how far this program has come in the last decade. I can’t wait for football this fall.
