HCGMFP is a genius on the defensive side of the ball. He coaches the D and lets his offensive coaches run the plays when the Horned Frogs have the ball.
Here’s a great article dissecting TCU’s defensive scheme/philosophy, kinda lengthy but will give you a feel for TCU’s defense:

My family history is with the Tea Sippers & Goat Ropers (Longhorns & Aggies). Tortilla tossers is a new one for me. 
Side note - first five years of my life were spent in Ft Worth, and I spent summers in the Hill country after that. I spent a lot of time playing with the little critters, but I've never known them as horned frogs, or even horned lizards.
To me, they will always and forever be Horny Toads.

Good read. His 4-2-5 defense has done well combating the spread. Since ISU went to a three, sometimes four, man front, we've done a good job eliminating big plays. I foresee a trend in that direction until teams adjust and go to a more traditional offense instead of relying on the spread.
I'm a little concerned about how we match up offensively versus your defense. We certainly have playmakers, but TCU is very disciplined. I don't see TCU making a lot of mistakes and beating themselves or giving up field position. We are going to have to earn every yard.
If both teams bring their A games, I think we could be in for a very entertaining game.

What's the deal with Gary Patterson's pants? Can he not find a belt that fits or what?

That cracked me up. I think I'll borrow it: HCMMFC!
I, along with not-nearly-enough-friends, cleaned the stadium after that concert.
Yeah, but how many days after the fact did you stay high?
What is the back story on the mechanical/steam frog, with the fog horn? Does that thing have a name? Got to be the strangest sideline item in all sports.
