[QUOTE="Frogcrates, post: 1162183, member: 33000"] Definitely not a fan of any name that is overtly religious (and particularly evangelical) whenever [i]Baylor [/i]is the point of reference. I have absolutely no problem honoring TCU's association with the DoC or its values/heritage, but I already get enough questions from people asking whether or not they would be comfortable at TCU or whether it is "too 'in your face' religious." Drawing any line of comparison between TCU and Baylor in this respect just makes me shiver. May as well call it the "No Drinking/No Dancing Judgeathon" - the [i]Footloose [/i]Bowl maybe? (that is a joke don't freak out). I wouldn't have any real problem with anything that played up the Republic of Texas or Chisholm Trail angles, but I'm also in the camp that sees this as being just another intense came against an instate conference opponent. As far as the TCU-SMU rivalry goes, you've got to remember that so much of that is built upon not just the rivalry between the two schools athletically and academically, but also on the very real rivalry between Fort Worth and dallas. And believe me, there is still a lot of hate there. I personally take satisfaction anytime we are able to highlight how much better Fort Worth is than that pretentious hole to the east. To me that's worth a spot on our schedule every year. Waco? Baylor? ...meh [/QUOTE]
