[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 2763755, member: 30891"] Yes 74-78 SMU is the rival Texas is our most important relationship. We laugh when we say Baylor ie "Baylor(giggle)" For my 11th birthday in 1967 my father (TCU '49) drove us from Shreveport to the Cotton Bowl for the last game of the season at SMU because they were our rival. The Frogs were on a 4 game winning streak after starting the season 0-5. I met Davey O/Brien. before the game. P.D. Shabay and Ross (the Hoss) Montgomery couldn't make it 5 in a row as Jerry LeVias and SMU won 28-14. I saw us beat Hayden Fry and Chuck Hixon in 1970, [B]Soon began an SMU 15 year winning streak.[/B] We had our hearts broken year after year in much anticipated games, After the Death Penalty days it has been all us with just a handful of painful exceptions.
