FORT WORTH - If Gary Patterson were picked up for shoplifting, he'd be his own worst witness. No need to play good cop/bad cop with the TCU coach, no sir. Just let him vent. By the time he finished, he'd be up for the Lindbergh kidnapping and the Lufthansa heist.
Consider, for example, the 20th-ranked Horned Frogs' 56-36 win Saturday over SMU before 44,489 at Amon Carter Stadium.
Before anyone could ask Gary if he'd like a glass of water, he pretty much pooh-poohed the merits of a 20-point win over an old rival.
"We're bigger, we're more physical, we're more experienced," he said of his 3-0 crew, as compared with the 2-1 Mustangs.
