College football can be as often cruel as it is beautiful. That might hold true for some schools more than it does others. Think Kansas, Rutgers and – unfortunately in 2018 – TCU. But through the good and bad there’s a type of fanfare and pageantry that is unwavering, even amid the lowest of lows.
Saturday wasn’t a day any Horned Frog fan will want to remember anytime soon. TCU lost 47-10 to CFP No. 9 West Virginia in a game that saw Heisman hopeful Will Grier and the Mountaineers erupt for a 33-0 run. And if you were counting, yes: the 37-point margin of defeat is indeed the most lopsided loss the Frogs have ever endured in the Gary Patterson era.
