H.R. No. 272
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas Christian University football team
completed an outstanding 2010-2011 campaign, winning all 13 of its
games, including its New Year's Day appearance in the Rose Bowl; and
WHEREAS, Under the guidance of head coach Gary Patterson, the
Horned Frogs were victorious in their eight Mountain West
Conference games as well as their four nonconference contests;
co-offensive coordinators Jarrett Anderson and Justin Fuente saw
their charges amass 520 points during the regular season, while the
defense, under the tutelage of coordinator Dick Bumpas, surrendered
just 137 points; on average, the Horned Frogs outscored their
opponents by an impressive 30 points per game; and
WHEREAS, TCU capped its season with a 21-19 win over Big Ten
cochampion Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, one of the five elite games
that are part of the Bowl Championship Series; since the advent of
the BCS, the Horned Frogs are the first team from a nonqualifying
conference to play in the Rose Bowl and the first to play in BCS
games in consecutive seasons; and
WHEREAS, Five TCU players were named first-team
All-Americans: Tank Carder, Wayne Daniels, Tejay Johnson, Jeremy
Kerley, and Jake Kirkpatrick; Mr. Kirkpatrick was also named the
winner of the Rimington Trophy, given annually to the best center in
college football; and
WHEREAS, In the final Associated Press Top 25 poll, the
Horned Frogs were ranked number two in the nation, the team's
highest position since 1938, when it won the national championship
under coach Dutch Meyer and the quarterbacking of the legendary
Davey O'Brien; the 2010-2011 TCU team was also voted number two in
the USA Today Top 25 Coaches Poll, which is further proof that the
school is in the midst of a new golden age of football; three
consecutive senior classes have become the winningest in school
history, while a dozen former Horned Frogs now play in the National
Football League; and
WHEREAS, With their regular season triumphs and their
outstanding performance before a crowd of more than 90,000 fans at
the Rose Bowl, the 2010-2011 Horned Frogs added their names to the
long list of those who have brought gridiron glory to the Lone Star
State, and these young men will cherish their accomplishments
throughout their lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Texas Christian University
football team for an exceptional 2010-2011 season and extend to its
members sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
