| Publisher Description: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: TCU Horned Frogs combines the great passion of the Horned Frogs fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ. The result is one set of devotions that are fun while providing a time of reflection about God and your faith. TCU once had a football team so good it never fell behind during the regular season. All-American tackle Marcus Cannon knew what to do when he was diagnosed with cancer: pray. In 2013, the TCU men's team pulled off one of the most improbable upsets in recent college basketball history. Bill Montigel, TCU's ultra-successful golf coach, didn't play the game when he arrived on campus. One would-be TCU walk-on trained by tackling trees. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Andy Dalton, Sammy Baugh, Sandora Irvin, Davey O'Brien, LaDainian Tomlinson and many others. Their stories -- along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events -- are all told with a twist: They are tied to God's story. |
