A shout out from Boston.

A couple of proud Horned Frogs are shining their light for their team as the boys prepare for the Rose Bowl.

Bryan Koop ’80, senior vice president, regional marketing at the Prudential Center in Boston, Mass., along with his wife Susan ’81, (above) are lighting Boston’s iconic Predential Tower purple tonight to welcome TCU to the Big East and support the Horned Frogs as they take on the Wisconsin Badgers in the 2011 Rose Bowl.

The Prudential Tower is an internationally recognized Boston icon and became infamous for being lit up during the Boston Red Sox’s “Reverse the Curse” World Series in 2004. The Tower has, quickly since then, become the Beacon of Boston and Red Sox Nation.

"Tonight this Beacon will shine on Frog‐Nation and hopefully bring about the same luck," the Koops say.
