It’s the middle of get-your-team-ready-to-play season, but Gary Patterson is going to make a mad dash to Canton, Ohio, on Saturday for a chance to catch LaDainian Tomlinson’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The TCU football coach will put his team through a scrimmage first thing in the morning at Amon G. Carter Stadium, watch the tape, then head to the airport in time to catch a 3 o’clock flight.
“If everything goes OK, I’ll get everything graded, leave about 1:30, 2 o’clock, they’re an hour ahead, get in at 6, it starts at 7,” Patterson said.
