Tom Rinaldi piece on the TCU Horned Frogs that was aired on the January 1st, 2011 episode of College GameDay live from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
It is the color of emperors.
The shade of the royal.
And today, it storms the game's palace.
In a bowl that's belonged to scarlet & gray, maize & blue, cardinal & gold -- purple enters the picture.
What does a color carry on this day, in this place?
Performance over pedigree.
Ability over lineage.
Confidence over conference.
Today, the Granddaddy welcomes a few new sons dressed for majesty, eager for victory.
