Legend. Say hi to Billy Clyde up there.

One of the greatest

What you guys don’t know was that he used to be a regular on Killerfrogs

I always got a chuckle when he posted something and there was always one or two who would challenge what he said...
“You don’t what the hell you are talking about, one guy said to him.

I always wanted to tell that person “you have no idea who you are talking to”, but Mr Jenkins wanted to remain anonymous

Vaya con Dios Mr Jenkins. You were the last of a breed of great sportswriters

Sad news. Would love to know what name he went by on kfc.

 

[Frogenstein]

Big loss for lovers of great literature.

 

[Dogfrog]

Hard to tell what he loved more - TCU, college football, golf, enchiladas, chicken fried steak, or Fort Worth. On second thought no doubt June and Sally (edit: and sons). Mr. Fort Worth in my book.

Legend. His twitter feed was gold during most major golf events.

I’m sure he’ll strike me down for this but it was Purple Geezer

It’s been a while since he posted but I think he read it all the time

I had the opportunity to go to his house once because he was having trouble logging on. He basically forgot his password but that office was like a museum of TCU and golf memorabilia. It was incredible and a real treat for me

 

[DixieFrog]

I remember his handle from the old days...For a while I think Dan Jenkins was the reason most people heard about ol TCU. RIP

 

[BABYFACE]

Enjoyed my short conversation with at his book signing at the TCU bookstore. (7 yrs ago?)

 

[FrogCop19]

Well [ Finebaum ]. Funniest writer I've ever read. "Life it's Own Self" had one of the greatest lines in literary history.

"Sometimes I think T.J. Lambert was right. He always said if women didn't have a [ muschi ], there'd be a bounty on 'em."

Rest well, Horned Frog.

 

[The Frog to be Named Later]

Last of the breed indeed. He will be missed.

 

[Heardler]

I had the absolute pleasure of having two one-on-one lunches with Stan Lee in his trailer on a couple of the Marvel movies I worked on. Arguably, Dan was on the same level as Stan in terms of the impact he had in his field of work. Rest in peace...

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

I’m sure he’ll strike me down for this but it was Purple Geezer

I'll be damned. For the longest time I thought it was but eventually convinced myself otherwise.

 

[froglash88]

DJ/PG: You are one of the best and will be missed! Please help my mother push those game winning FG through the uprights.

RIP Mr. Jenkins / Purple Geezer

 

[tcudoc]

Thanks Wes!
I always thought Purple geezer was a great poster!! Now I know why.

 

[Paint It Purple]

Rest peacefully Dan Jenkins. Always kinda of wondered what a private sit-down conversation between Dan Jenkins and John Graves would have been like. Sorry to see another of the greats amongst leave.

 

[MTfrog5]

Wow he was someone I wish I could just have an opportunity to talk to about golf and TCU. RIP

Wisdom from Greezer: "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

He once told YA in a post: "bite me, lawyer boy." Haha! Pretty funny now that we know.
