10 things to know about TCU's Gary Patterson, including some awesome guitar skills | Sports Day
Another summer day, another listicle from our friends on the other side of the metroplex. This one touches on a few of his superstitions, and you’ll be glad to know he went back to Africa this off-season.
Patterson took a trip to Africa with his wife prior to the 2010 season. That season, the frogs didn't lose a game. Then, before the 2014 season, he went again. In that season, the Frogs lost one game but beat Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl after famously being snubbed from the College Football Playoff. Prior to the 2015 season, Patterson confessed his expensive superstition.
"I always went in March and it's May and we hadn't gone yet and the baseball team is doing really well I'm like, 'This is not going to be my fault,' " Patterson said. "It's the most expensive superstition I've ever been part of."
So if the Frogs do well in 2017, now you know why.
