Coach Patterson's Press Conference - Open Thread

[TxFrog1999]

About week-to-week play against tough competition:
"I understand,after being undefeated in 2010... how hard it is to do that"

 

[TxFrog1999]

Response from the team? "Not as much energy Sunday as it was last Sunday before OU"

 

[TxFrog1999]

"We've played them [Baylor] before, we know what we're getting into"

 

[TxFrog1999]

"I don't think, watching the film [Baylor v Texas] that they [Baylor] played with much energy"

 

[Clayton Bigsby]

Haha good dig at Dawson there

 

[TxFrog1999]

Probably won't see Paul Dawson interviewing for TCU after wearing his Cincy hat and calling out the nation after the win.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Praising the AC at the practice center, saying the cool environment helped last week during practices.

I had a low energy level Sunday as well. Wonder why that was.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Lot of midterms last week.

Who is this man and what has he done with Gary?

 

[TxFrog1999]

Are you there depth wise? You said it was a three year process.

"No... we're working on it."

 

[TxFrog1999]

 
Who is this man and what has he done with Gary?

My thought as well.

 

[TxFrog1999]

About being seen as one of the top teams to make the playoffs:

"I keep very realistic... I look at it the same way before we played."

 

[TCUdirtbag]

 
Who is this man and what has he done with Gary?

 
I agree.  He's joking around, smiling, optimistic, and praising air conditioning.  Don't know if I should be terrified or thrilled.

Thoughts while waiting for CGP/eating lunch at my desk and pseudo-working:  
 
Last year OSU 49, Baylor 17.  Last week Baylor O only scored 21.  This could be a big win for TCU.  If our defense plays like they did against OU in the 4th quarter and only gives up 2-3 big plays, it could be a long afternoon for the Bears. 

This is my thinking exactly.  Add to this that GP's defense always seems to be the bear spray to Briles' offense and this could get really fun for us.  I just have to tamp down my optimism until after the game.  The Vegas line seems like they're trying to convince me 2+2 doesn't equal 4.

"Can you imagine... we've only been getting $2 million from TV, when we go from $10 to 60 million? What we'll be able to do... uniforms... how we can take care of our kids..."

 

[TxFrog1999]

"It's taken us a few years for us to understand we're in the Big XII"

 

[EdKamen]

Happy GP is always good. I remember seeing how calm and cool he was before the Utah game in 2010. I knew we were going to win ... because he did.

 

[TxFrog1999]

I think he just took a swipe at Baylor's Big XII record the first few years they were in the league
