[QUOTE="Limp Lizard, post: 3054920, member: 18"] I see a lot of similarities between Texas/aggy and TCU/SMU. Aggy has in my college football watching time (mid-60's to present) hated Texas more than Texas has hated them. The last few decades Texas's primary rival has been OU. We really don't have a single rival nowadays...and it has been TCU vs everyone else since I have been watching. Baylor sometimes, Tech sometimes. A few have UT at the top of their list, but they are up there for almost everyone. aggy is [U]far away[/U] the tops on my list, but luckily we don't have their filthy Corps fouling our campus every two years. To me that would be by far the worst thing about joining the SEC. Nobody I would root against when they play aggy...unless it helps TCU. And it would have to be huge, like aggy must win to get TCU into the CFP. But...TCU-SMU has always been huge, until the Death Penalty devastated SMU's athletics. They kept us out of the Rose Bowl. The SMU game was really a big deal when I was a student. Then when they cheated their way to the top of the football world, they were very, very arrogant about it. In the early 70's in baseball, a TCU player was right at a new NCAA record for home runs; SMU intentionally walked him at every bat during a double header, once he was one HR behind...this was a really bad SMU team in their tiny homerun-easy field. There was really bad blood. But we Frogs have lost it through the years. Too many conferences, too many foes. But the Ponies have kept it. I have never seen teams as fired up as the Ponies against the Frogs in ACS. [/QUOTE]
Verification
