Having Blake Shelton perform at TCU really amped up the horned frog spirit, foreshadowing the eventful and unforgettable events yet to come in the 2012-2013 school year. For me this concert topped the previous three years, making my senior year just that much more memorable. This experience will resonate with all who attended Shelton’s incredible concert Thursday night.
It was an eventful week post concert with numerous festivities surrounding the first TCU home football game versus Grambling State on Saturday, September 8. A full day of barbecues, tailgating, and game time ensued. One of the most exciting moments was when the game football was flown in by the TCU Rocketman. The unexpected entrance was followed by a killer game. TCU absolutely demolished Grambling State, concluding the game with a nearly perfect score of 56-0. It was a great start to the football season leaving the student body and TCU fans with high hopes for the success of the horned frogs.
A number of fans stayed after the game to watch TCU present Gary Patterson with an award for being the coach with the most wins in TCU’s history. Afterwards, a beautiful fireworks show erupted over the stadium. It was a bittersweet moment when seniors realized that this was the last first yearly concert and last first TCU football game in our college years. I am grateful for the events that have made the beginning of senior year so priceless. Let’s go out with a bang TCU, let’s do it right! GO FROGS!
The Rocketman was so cool! It was definitely a highlight to the game.
