I remember scratching my head before the NRTSU games and wondering, Why are we wasting our time playing these guys?"

Now, its a 'cross town rivilry'?!

My, how low we have fallen after the DP.

Wonder how many of their students will pay the "small fee" to ride a bus to the game. No doubt Yellow Bus/Short Bus comments to follow.

The huge difference is that SMU and TCU have been rivals since our inception. TCU started taking football serious 20 years ago and we have not followed suit.

One of these years we will close the gap in football. The frogs are closing it quickly in basketball.

And ask Texas if there could be a large change from one week to the next.

Disclaimer: I do not anticipate SMU receiving votes any time soon.

The other thing that is massively different is the W-L record head to head. We are not that far behind TCU all-time but UNT has never been competitive with us over time.

This is their Super Bowl.
We are indifferent.

At least with TCU, there is some mutual respect between our fanbases.
