Here are a couple of TCU football quick hitters for you today.
We start with an update on Josh Boyce. Boyce sustained an ankle injury last week and was held out of practice on Monday according to the Star-Telegram.
Also, Stephen Spiewak of CBSMaxPreps.com tweeted this yesterday.
Apparently April 22nd is Gray’s birthday. It is something to keep your eyes on…

It’s kind of a slower week with UNLV on the schedule for this Saturday, but here are a couple quick stories for you to check out.
On the uniform front, it looks as if TCU will have another uniform combination for the final home game against San Diego State. As most of you know, that is the last game in Amon G. Carter Stadium as it is currently constructed. Renovation on the stadium will begin following that game and the Frogs will be wearing special uniforms for the occasion.
TCU coach Gary Patterson said Tuesday that for the finale of Amon G. Carter Stadium as we know it on Nov. 13, his team will wear its classic purple and white uniforms. Patterson wants the team to go out of The Carter as it came in.
I am a big fan of Mac Engel’s idea for Coach Patterson:
I asked GP if he would do the same and sport the old school suit and a fedora. He didn't sound very committed to the concept. He needs to be.
This needs to happen. If TCU remains undefeated through its next two games, Gary Patterson needs to go Abe Martin for the Amon G. Carter Stadium finale.
Also, TCU defensive coordinator Dick Bumpas will be inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
From TCU Medial Relations: TCU defensive coordinator and defensive line coach Dick Bumpas has been selected for the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
Bumpas is among 11 inductees that include Texas Rangers' pitcher Cliff Lee.
Bumpas was the 1970 Southwest Conference Defensive Player of the Year and a consensus All-America defensive tackle for Arkansas. He was a three-year letterman for the Razorbacks and a team captain.

After some less than flattering articles written about Gary Patterson last week, here is a great one you should check out from Dan Wetzel.
In 1997, TCU fans stormed the field when a winless season was avoided in the final game. Now 10 years into Patterson’s reign it’s a legitimate national title contender for the second consecutive season. The 50-year-old has taken a one-time dormant, doormat program and has gone 61-11 since 2005, including a current 33-3 tear. There’s even a $105 million stadium renovation set to begin next month that promises to turn ancient Amon Carter Stadium into “the Camden Yards of college football.”

Also, Andy Dalton has been named one of the semifinalists for the 2010 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.
TCU senior quarterback Andy Dalton is among 16 semifinalists for the 2010 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award, which honors the nation’s best college quarterback.
Dalton has passed for 1,635 yards, 14 touchdowns and five interceptions this season to lead the No. 4 Horned Frogs to an 8-0 record.

Here are a couple of quick TCU notes for the day…
Although the Horned Frogs are ranked among the best in the nation in college football, the TCU community witnessed true professional football Wednesday afternoon when the Dallas Cowboys practiced at the Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility.
From TCU Media Relations: TCU All-America return specialist Jeremy Kerley has been named an honoree in the Paul Hornung Award's Most Versatile Performances of the Week.
Kerley totaled 196 all-purpose yards in the fourth-ranked Horned Frogs' 30-21 season-opening victory over Oregon State.
A senior from Hutto, Texas, Kerley had 147 return yards while tying a career-high with six receptions for 49 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown. Kerley had three punt returns for 42 yards. A 34-yard effort late in the second quarter set up a score which gave TCU a 21-14 halftime lead. Kerley added 125 yards on kickoff returns.
If you haven’t already gotten your tickets for the Baylor game on September 18th, you better get on that ASAP. I am hearing that there are less than 500 reserved tickets left for this game and it’s approaching a sell out very quickly.
