WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs football | ||
team on the occasion of its victory in the Rose Bowl on January 1, | ||
2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Horned Frogs capped their second consecutive | ||
undefeated regular season by defeating the University of | ||
Wisconsin Badgers by a score of 21-19; one of only two undefeated | ||
teams in the nation, they are the first team from a | ||
non-automatic-qualifying conference to play in the Rose Bowl in | ||
the history of the Bowl Championship Series; and | ||
WHEREAS, In their dramatic victory at the 97th Rose Bowl | ||
game, the Horned Frogs were led by quarterback Andy Dalton, who | ||
was named Offensive Player of the Game, and All-American | ||
linebacker Tank Carder, who was named Defensive Player of the | ||
Game; and | ||
WHEREAS, Team members have demonstrated great talent and | ||
perseverance over the course of the year, finishing with a | ||
perfect 13-0 record and winning their second consecutive | ||
outright Mountain West Conference title, their third in the last | ||
six years; the Horned Frogs have won all of their last 17 | ||
conference games and 25 of their last 26, and this year's Rose | ||
Bowl victory marks the team's greatest achievement since its | ||
undefeated national championship season in 1938; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under the superior leadership and expertise of | ||
head coach Gary Patterson, the Horned Frogs have developed | ||
exceptional teamwork and discipline and have become one of the | ||
most successful football programs in the nation; Coach Patterson | ||
has amassed a 97-28 record in his 10 years with the team, and the | ||
team has appeared in a bowl game in 12 of the last 13 seasons; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas Christian University, the people of Fort | ||
Worth, and Texans across the state are proud of the Horned Frogs | ||
for their hard work, their impressive skills, and their fine | ||
sportsmanship; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the Texas Christian University | ||
Horned Frogs on their outstanding season and extend | ||
congratulations to them on winning the 2011 Rose Bowl; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the team as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
Harris, Davis | ||
