Fansided: TCU’s Gary Patterson takes shot at Red Raider fans

by Matthew Conner

At Big 12 Media Days this week, TCU head coach Gary Patterson took an unnecessary and embellished shot at Texas Tech football fans.

When compiling a list of people most disliked by Texas Tech football fans, you won’t have to get too far past Baker Mayfield and Tommy Tuberville before you come to TCU head coach Gary Patterson. Now, that animosity is certain only to increase after Patterson’s remarks about Red Raider fans this week at Big 12 Media Days.

When asked by sports anchor John Sokoloff of Fox 34 in Lubbock about playing in Jones Stadium, as TCU will do this season, Patterson claimed that Texas Tech fans have thrown “frozen water bottles” at his team during night games. The same question was asked of Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley (a Texas Tech alum) and Kansas’ Les Miles (though the Sooners and Jayhawks will not play in Lubbock this season) and neither of those coaches had an ill word to say about Red Raider fans.

"But why it is important to call out Patterson on his claim that the objects that were allegedly thrown were frozen is because it is another example of a rival manufacturing or exaggerating claims against Texas Tech fans to further the myth that visiting Jones Stadium after dark is as dangerous as taking a stroll down Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944."

Nice flippant D-day reference. Do they just let anyone with a keyboard and a pulse submit high school quality articles?

That’s the best you can get from Tech people

It’s not a shot if it’s the truth and their fans are terrible. If Bowlsby had any balls, he’d address this situation

Unfortunately I cannot trash talk any opponent until the Frogs have a winning record against them in the big 12. At least 1 more year, hopefully.

I was at the baseball game at Lupton in 2016 and witnessed when the Texas Tech Baseball players were throwing water, cups, etc. at the Showgirls while the girls were performing a routine in front of the visitors' dugout.

My daughter was one of those Showgirls and even she will now tell you that while the players did throw water and some of it did hit a few girls, she’s pretty sure they weren’t intentionally throwing water at the Showgirls.
