The usc band earlier in the week at some function broke some of the light bulbs on the frog horn. Coach Fran used that as player motivation.Man, I wish I still had that "Beware of Frog" sign! I rode a Grey Dog to the game - took like, 24 hours - and got to the stadium around 7AM. No one was there but me and Frog Man (may he rest in peace). He told me how the USC band had hocked all over the Frog Horn earlier...brought him to tears. I don't think anyone was happier than him after that win.
I remember that. They also slapped a few USC stickers on it. There were quite a few stories about the Trojan band behaving like jackasses that week.The usc band earlier in the week at some function broke some of the light bulbs on the frog horn. Coach Fran used that as player motivation.
Before there was this:
There was this:
A few Froggish friends traveled down to South Padre for New Year's with us, 4 couples in all. We watched the game from Kelly's Irish Bar (now demolished).
What a fun time! None of us expected to win, maybe stay competitive, but we'd seen TCU Football for all of the bad years and that attitude of "It's a big game. We never win Big Games" was quite strong. It wasn't as if TCU had a chance, we had good players and a good system, but the Frogs were very inconsistent and the year before was a total disaster. Utterly crushing USC as we did was such a pleasant surprise!
Drunkenness. Heh. 3rd quarter I was hollering to all "This is the most important possession of the game! What we do here will determine the outcome!" Any 3rd down was helped along with tequila, taking one for the team...

As recall there were quite a few obnoxious USC posters on line too. Their Outland Trophy LB was so gassed he could barely breath and future Heisman winner and Andy Dalton predecessor Carson Palmer was frustrated all day. This was the first glint that TCU could travel and put a lot of purple in a stadium.
I sent the OP a PM. Hopefully I will get a response about converting it.
