It's a lie, they are lizards not frogs. All these years I have bought this
frog farce until one of their own brought it to my attention! You could call them Toads or Lizards, but not frogs!

I'd like to thank you sincerely for that post OTP. I feel like it has made me a better and more rounded person, and yet allowed me to hate the horned frog.

The horned frog is not in fact technically a frog, but a lizard

Just be thankful you do not have to write a song titled
Ceratophrys Omata Up.

Are the team captains called lizard kings?

Makes you appreciate the work of baroque opera librettists and composers.

The TCU frog is the Texas Horned Lizard called Phrynosoma cornutum. The Argentinian version isn't even close to ours. The Argentinian version does not shoot blood from its eyes when threatened.
You gotta admit that's pretty cool.

A toad is a toad is a toad. The Pony mission is to win toad..ally. Toad..al domination by the offense and defense would leap-frog our spirits, get the season turned around at the behest of our TCU rival and toad..allie.

Perhaps this game can be characterized as the Phrynosoma Conumdrum.
