Back to the TCU Horned Frogs Newsfeed

TCU coach Gary Patterson has strong family ties to KU. His uncle played under Phog Allen.

TCU coach Gary Patterson always likes going back to his native Kansas. It’s where his family roots are and he still has close friends living in the state.

Of course, that doesn’t matter come game time on Saturday when TCU and Kansas meet at 2 p.m.

“They know how I am – for three hours, I’m not happy with anybody back there and they’re not happy with me,” said Patterson, who grew up in the west central part of the state in Rozel.

And, even though Patterson played at Kansas State, a trip to KU is always special.
