Frog Fan ForumThanks to the transformational leadership of Head Coach Gary Patterson, the TCU football program has sustained excellence in this new century, setting a standard of success that few programs nationally can match. The revival of TCU football began under the watch of Dennis Franchione when TCU defeated the Trojans of USC in the 1998 Sun Bowl, but it was ultimately Gary Patterson who transformed the program. From 1939, the year after TCU’s last national championship, to 1997, TCU’s record was 318-380-24. In those 67 years, TCU won 6 Southwest Conference titles and attended 11 bowl games winning only one of those games. Since the 1998 season, TCU has won 4 conference titles, two in the Western Athletic Conference (1999 & 2000), one in Conference USA (2002), and one in the Mountain West Conference (2005). Since 1998, TCU has amassed a record of 89-32. In six of the last seven years, the Horned Frogs have won at least 10 games in a season, and won 11 games in four of the last five. During this period TCU has won marquee games against Louisville, Boise State, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Utah and BYU. From 1998 to 2008, TCU has attended 11 bowl games, winning seven of them. The record of TCU in bowl games as of 2006 is 11-13-1. TCU also claims two National Championships from 1935 and 1938. 2008-2009 marked the 75th anniversary of the school's last National Championship. In December 2008, the Horned Frogs beat Boise State and finished the season ranked #7. |

BasketballAlong with NCAA Tournament appearances, TCU appeared in the National Invitational Tournament six times -- 1983, 1986, 1992, 1997, 1999 and 2005. They advanced to the quarterfinal round three times -- 1983, 1999 and 2005, but have never earned a birth to play in the semifinal round in Madison Square Garden. The TCU Men's Basketball Team was coached from 2002 to 2007 by Neil Dougherty. He was fired in March, 2008, after TCU limped through yet another season with a losing record. Jim Christian was hired in the 2008 offseason to revive the program. |

BaseballTCU has fielded a baseball team since 1896, before the school found its home in Fort Worth, TX. The Horned Frog baseball team began playing baseball in the Southwest Conference when it became a member of the conference in 1923. That year they finished the year with a 13-11 overall record and a 2-10 conference record. In 1933 Dutch Meyer, also the coach of the football team, led TCU to its first SWC title with a 9-1 record. During the rest of their time in the SWC, the Frogs would win 6 more regular-season SWC baseball titles. Their next conference championship would come while members of Conference USA in 2004 and 2005. 2006 saw the Horned Frogs in a new conference, the Mountain West Conference. The Frogs went 17-5 in their first year in the MWC and never left first place. They also only had to play 3 games in the conference tournament to win the MWC Tournament Title to complement the regular season title. TCU has made six appearances in the NCAA Baseball Tournament: 1956, 1994, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, & 2008. TCU has 43 All-Americans, 16 Freshman All-Americans, 19 players of the year awards, and 8 pitchers of the year not to mention countless All-Conference selections. |
