Fort Worth Goes Purple for TCU

FORT WORTH, Texas - Look just about anywhere in Fort Worth today and you'll be seeing purple.

Actually, folks all across the Metroplex are attired in amethyst and arrayed in aubergine to support the No. 4-ranked Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.

The team is inching closer to a winning a spot in a BCS bowl game and finishing the season with a perfect record.

Saturday they take on the No. 16-ranked Utah Utes, a team they nearly beat last year, but for a touchdown in the final 48 seconds that brought a painful 13-10 loss.

This year, the entire city of Fort Worth is standing behind the home team with a violent -- or should we say "violet" -- show of support.

Mayor Mike Moncrief kicked off Go Purple Day on FOX 4's Good Day with a purple tie and dress shirt under his gray suit. (See slideshow for other purple appearances on Good Day.)

The top of the Chesapeake Energy Headquarters was awash in purple lights early Friday morning, and other buildings downtown planned to light their structures in a similar shade Friday night.

Baker St. Pub & Grill at 6333 Camp Bowie Blvd. is serving $2 purple draft beers on Friday and Saturday.

The sold-out game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. at Amon G. Carter Stadium. ESPN is broadcasting its College Game Day live from Fort Worth.
