Gary Patterson has long cultivated the underdog mentality at TCU, and it’s gotten results.
But the Horned Frogs’ all-time winningest coach confessed Tuesday — he’s not all that into it.
“Everybody says that I like being the underdog. I don’t really like being the underdog,” Patterson told reporters at his midweek press conference.
So why do it?
“I think it fits TCU in the scenario in the state of Texas.”
The Frogs, Patterson figures, are rarely going to be considered in the same circle as Texas and Texas A&M. He long recruited against the higher profiles of the Longhorns and Aggies and other Texas schools during the Frogs’ WAC and Mountain West days.
