Who can name the mascots of the SWC FR teams before FR were eligible to play varsity ball? I can only remember a few but SMU was the Colts. Casey Ortez was our "Joe Namath wannabe" QB my FR year. He had an interesting but short and tragic life. I remember Casey and Randy Scoggins (who lived on my FR dorm floor) hung around together. Not sure what ever happened to Scoggins. At any rate, I think Baylor was the Cubs, Rice the Owlettes, Texas the Shorthorns, TCU the Tadpoles but I really can't remember. Some of the older guys who were Colts should remember

Our full name was the Colorful Colts

Can't remember if TCU was the Tadpoles or the Wogs. Both sound familiar

[mrydel]

I believe they were pollywogs

Houston was not a member when I went to SMU. There was the Big 8 to the north and there were only 8 teams in the SWC...SMU, TCU, Baylor, Tech, Arkansas, Texas, A&M & Rice
