TCU and Gary Patterson are Texas’ new purple overlords

At the end of the month, the Texas Longhorns will arguably have the program’s best chance of defeating the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan since 2002 as head coach Bill Snyder’s team shows signs of significant vulnerability.

The challenge this weekend will be more significant, even though the game will take place in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium — head coach Gary Patterson is bringing his TCU Horned Frogs to Austin as he attempts to firmly cement his position as the new purple overlord.

And that’s not a statement made lightly; not many programs have given Texas as much trouble as Kansas State.
