[QUOTE="Rabidfrog, post: 3184183, member: 72453"] All goes back to 1935 when TCU and SMU played for the natty. Sam Baugh was throwing hard, but Ponies scored on a long pass late and pulled off what was considered an upset. Frogs get the last laugh, though, when SMU lost the Rose Bowl, and we won the Sugar Bowl, thus gaining our first Natty via a poll taken when the bowl games were complete. Old Frogs would rather beat SMU than almost anyone, but those fans are fast dying out. I think it is a valuable rivalry, but don't like the attitude over on the Hilltop in Dallas. Everyone cheated back in the day, including TCU, but SMU did it with impunity, and finally got their due. [/QUOTE]
