[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3210918, member: 16969"] I've said the same thing before about Baylor (who I generally cheer for against teams other than TCU chiefly for this reason): I believe that healthy rivalries between quality programs benefit both parties. In the long run, I don't think it helps your program to have either no rivalries that anyone cares about (see WVU's predicament in the current Big XII) or useless rivals with no pulse. I am always most excited to see TCU in meaningful rivalry games against teams we want to beat for reasons other than 'a win is a win'. I'd rather beat SMU than UCF, and I'd rather beat a good SMU than a bad SMU. So, yes, I am for things that help their program because I think it also helps ours. Tradition. The household gods of college football demand that we sacrifice a pony on the high altar of Amon G. Carter's temple every second September, and it is neither meet nor right not to do so. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
