Alum meets Daryl Washington in Arizona

Deborah Dye '91 of Flagstaff, Ariz., met Daryl Washington '09 earlier this year while the ex-TCU linebacker was in town for Arizona Cardinals training camp. Deborah writes, "He is such an amazing person and athlete (obviously). He spent an hour talking with me and have me tickets to every home game! It has been amazing and almost makes up for not living in Texas. He is just like the athletes I knew when I was at TCU - talented, gracious, grounded and kind!"

Washington is in his second season with the Cardinals, starting at linebacker. He has a career total of 101 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble.

Deborah also made a plea to return to purple and white uniforms. "You can't mess with tradition - even if you win more games. The purple and white are classic and look better on TV. Gary Patterson can still wear all black."
