The only thing is - there's been 60+ years of weather since the ring was lost. Honestly, there should be a video crew in case its found. That would be quite a human interest story.

We got iPhone, bruh...

Anyone have a grandpa or great grandpa who was alive during the last TCU national championship? My dad was born in 1940 so he has no insight really. I know they would have to be pushing 90+ but do we have anyone still around that could tell a cool story?

I think it's fascinating that this is a first time thing for pretty much every TCU football fan that is alive right now.

My kids Great Grandfather played with Sam Bough and Davey O on the ‘38 Natty. He was one of about 5-6 living member inducted as they honored their class for the Frog HOF. He was brought to tears and signed autographs like a celebrity. Awesome stuff.

My father, an OU alum and a veteran of WWII, remembered that team well. He grew up in Montana and said that his classmates thought of TCU as a football power house. He passed in 2014 at the age of 89.

Same here. My Dad was a Syracuse Alum '40 and when I decided to attend TCU he gave me the whole 1938 story. One day, I was fortunate enough to give him Davey O'Brien's autograph. He was pumped.
