It almost seems like it was just yesterday. The KillerFrogs.com site, long-staple amongst the TCU fans, was rebranding and becoming part of the Fan Nation network on SI.com – a site all about TCU sports on a national platform, the site on September 14, two games into the new football season. At first, it was just me and Ryan Seller, owner of Killer frogs Soon we would add another writer, then another, and then more.
A month later, just before the Oklahoma football game, we hit Article #100. By the time Big 12 basketball was well into conference play, we hit Article #500.

It almost seems like it was just yesterday. The Killer Frogs.com site, long-staple amongst the TCU fans, was rebranding and becoming part of the Fan network on SI.com – a site all about TCU sports on a national platform.
We launched the site on September 14, two games into the new football season. At first, it was just me and Ryan Seller, owner of KillerFrogs. Soon we would add another writer, then another, and then more.
A month later, just before the Oklahoma football game, we hit Article #100. By the time Big 12 basketball was well into conference play, we hit Article #500. Now, just over nine months since we launched, we hit Article #1000. That’s 1,000+ articles about TCU sports, Big 12 sports, and college sports in general.
Our dedicated group of writers has grown. We have eight regular contributors. We aren’t done. We are looking for more to join our team before football season begins. Fan Nation now has over 130 sites on several sports verticals, including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. They have 53 college sites, and for June, our TCU dedicated site was right in the middle – ranked #25 in terms of page views for the month. The only private colleges ahead of us were Notre Dame and Duke. We have blown away other private colleges like USC and Northwestern.
So, 1,000 articles into this adventure, we asked our writers to look back and select their favorite articles – both their favorite that they wrote and their favorite written by another writer. Over the next few days, we will look back at these articles. In this first part, we look at some of the ones chosen as the favorite that they each wrote.
TCU wins one for the Dipper

The football season wasn’t going the way anyone anticipated. Legendary coach Gary Patterson had just been let go. Jerry Kill had been named interim coach. Max Duncan was injured. Chandler Morris would get the start against a team from Waco that seemed to be unstoppable. Until they weren’t.
