SEAT UPGRADE PROCESS UPDATE
Thanks to all of our current season-ticket holders who requested an opportunity to change their tickets and/or donor parking.
Fans who purchased tickets last year as part of a one-year option will be receiving an email this week with their selection date and time. This group will begin on Monday, May 20, with selection times based on priority rank in the Horned Frogs Priority Points System. As a reminder, you may purchase up to the same quantity as last year. Donor parking is still available. Fans on our parking wait list will also be able to purchase new or additional parking next week.
Those who did not purchase tickets from TCU last year, or any fan wanting to add additional season tickets, may do so after Memorial Day weekend. This group can expect an email next week. Please contact the Athletics Ticket Office at (817) 257-3764 or Frog Club at (817) 257-7700 if you wish to be included on either wait list.
SEAT BACK AND GRASS INSTALLATION
Several of you have asked about the seat backs being added at Amon G. Carter Stadium. Southern Bleacher is on site and installation is underway. We will have completion this summer. The new grass will be placed in the stadium on Thursday.
TV TIP
Our football program will be spotlighted today and next Wednesday at 3 p.m. CDT on ESPNU's Big 12 This Week. You'll see football coach Gary Patterson providing a facilities tour on today's show with a sit-down interview next week.
FINAL RADIO SHOW
Our final Jim Schlossnagle Radio Show at the Woodshed is tonight from 6 to 7 p.m. We hope to see you there.
ON THE DOCKET
Our men's golf program, ranked seventh nationally, is seeded second at the NCAA Regional which begins Thursday in Pullman, Wash. On the diamond, we're in the midst of our regular season ending four-game homestand. Our three-game series with Texas begins Thursday at 6:30 p.m. First pitch is also 6:30 p.m. for Friday's game and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. All three contests will be televised on the FOX family of networks. Make sure to check your local cable or satellite listings.
MEET THE STAFF
As an administrative assistant for men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's cross country/indoor and outdoor track and field, equestrian and soccer, Judy Altenburg-Cyr juggles 12 sports on her plate and does an excellent job. With two daughters and two step-daughters being TCU graduates, Judy is a true Horned Frog. She will soon be starting her ninth year with us. The Temple, Texas, native has a degree in fashion merchandising from Temple Junior College. She also attended Mary Hardin-Baylor. In addition to the household of girls, Judy and her husband, Ron, love dogs and have a standard poodle puppy and a goldendoodle puppy.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Franklin Corpening was a men's golf standout for us from 2005-08. An all-conference selection, he won the 2006 Memphis Intercollegiate individual title. Franklin was instrumental in helping us maintain our current streak of 24 consecutive postseason appearances. Since graduation, Franklin has been playing professionally on the Gateway Tour and currently with the Web.com Tour. The Fort Worth native will be returning home next week to play in the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. He'll join fellow Horned Frog J.J. Henry in the field. Welcome home and all the best to Franklin and J.J. at Colonial!
SPANNING THE GLOBE
In this week's edition of the TCU Nation flashing the Horned Frogs hand sign and apparel from all points worldwide, we see (left to right) assistant athletics trainer Lauren Crawford, men's tennis student-athlete Rodolfo Bustamante and assistant strength and conditioning coach Todd Kensler under the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles. The photo was taken this past weekend while our men's tennis program was in L.A. for its NCAA Regional. Please continue to send me (delconte@tcu.edu) your images. These are fun to share.
NAME THE MOVIE QUOTE
Last Week's Answer: The great John Candy, teamed with Steve Martin in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, in a memorable emotional scene said, "You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get."
This Week's Quote: "I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is." Make sure to check back next week for the answer.
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Q: Is it permissible for incoming freshman student-athletes to participate in promotional activities with current student-athletes during the summer prior to initial enrollment?
A: Yes. As long as the incoming freshman student-athlete officially registers, enrolls and attends classes at TCU during the summer prior to initial enrollment, he/she may participate in promotional activities.
