I’ve always wondered who the TCU fans that want to kill the SMU series would replace us with. You’re not playing two P5 OOC games. Financially, does it make sense to add two more buy games with some Sun Belt team every two years, in addition to what you’re paying for an FCS game each year? The only other series that makes sense for a straight up home and home as a G5 is probably Houston, and based on the past 20 years or so that’s going to be a tougher road game every other year than at SMU. Otherwise maybe you do a 2-for-1 with school in a hot recruiting area like La Tech or Tulane? Those don’t seem like the most appealing opponents to kill off a 100-year rivalry. Maybe y’all are just scared of what Sonny (Dykes) is cooking all of the sudden? (Kidding)
I believe this is correct. Also why TCU dropped talks of going to play in Vegas.so who called the game off? Was it because Big 12 stated that it had to be a TCU home game?
You obviously weren't paying attention.if the skillet is such a big tradition why did i never once hear about it during my time in school?
went to each of the games, followed the teams, and did so after graduation and never heard of the skillet until someone found the thing in a closet or a bed, bath, and beyond off mockingbird.
honestly, don't give a damn about a trophy that is so much a tradition it was lost for decades

I like the Iron Skillet. I dislike "the revivalry".no doubt, wasn't paying attention to the "iron skillet" or "the revivalry"
both of those names could go away as far as i am concerned
Rick is being disingenuous if we offered to come to FW this year and play in Dallas next year—obviously there’s no reason for TCU to agree to that with capacities at games being drastically limited this season. But if SMU simply offered to play this year’s game in FW and TCU declined, then Gary is dodging the game in favor of a weaker opponent to pad the win total.SMU's AD is quoted in the DMN today saying they offered to come back to FW for 2020.
The Skillet was lost out of simple apathy. When the Letterman's Lounge was being renovated, they moved out all the furniture and found it had fallen behind a TV stand in a corner of the room. It took a little while for the workmen to find somebody that knew what it was. Really, it's sort of a wonder that it wasn't just heaved into a dumpster. Just another rusted old skillet all covered in cobwebs...if the skillet is such a big tradition why did i never once hear about it during my time in school?
