Yes, it was the original look on the upper deck. Glad we changed it. It looked too much like the Aggie logo.

It did indeed. My dad and I used to sit in the T all the time.

As I recall, they replaced tCu with the Flying T around 1979 or so.

Was there anything between cTu and the flying TCU?

That's what I recall, but I was just a kid then.

Yes, you are getting old, and senile. Just because cTu was on the helmet doesn't mean it was also on the upper deck. But, yes, I believe it was.

In the 70's The Skiff was interviewing one of the foreign students for an article and the story was reported that during the interview he glanced at the stadium from Frog Fountain and was quoted as saying some thing like "I am very happy to be here at CTU".

Actually, Dan Jenkins poked fun at it in Dead Solid Perfect. One of the characters mentioned that he never bet on TCU football because, "them silly f-ers don't even know to spell!"

As a student in '78 I asked a sr. admin. person why the stadium had the "cTu" logo. He said "don't tell anyone, but it's for Charles Tandy University.
I was amazed a month later when he died in Nov. of '78 and weeks later they replaced the logo.

Wait a second... But that doesn't have a frog on it?
What's that you say? Throughout the history of our program we haven't had a frog on our helmets? Maybe that's why we have so many people complaining about not having classic looking uniforms. The frog dates us. We need to move on next season.

Note the two helmets with Frogs on them. I am just old enough to remember the second one which I liked and as a kid drew that helmet all the time.

Yep, I noted two of them also.
I also noted 25 others since 1928, for a total of 27 over 74 years. I'll look for maniac's panel of 16 in the study lounge to help me out with the math.

The joke in the early 70's is it stood for "Coach Tohill University."
Don't remember it bein cTu in the late 60's, when I was an undergraduate.
