Howdy from LA
by ReedFrawg » Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:54 pm
Sorry about the tuff loss in the bowl game. What a kick in the crotch. I know you guys are sick of some of the less friendly tcu posters but I sincerely hope smu continues to improve so you diehard fans can experience what some of us have been able to enjoy these last 2 years. Stay the course....it took us over 10 years of consistent winning. It will be worth the wait!

You're a good man ReedFrawg like all of my frog friends. Congratulations on a great game and a perfect season.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Agree!!!
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!
For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

Please go back to Texas as I'm sick of the rain and the Purple Horde is the most obvious cause.
You do realize the Tournament of Roses Committee has a contract with God to always have perfect weather on January 1st to give the middle finger to the rest of the U.S.
Then, on January 2, it is Winter as usual with cold and rain which is never nationally televised.
My "poofy" Huntington Harbour neighbors had a Rose Bowl watching party (Tri-Tip, Chili, and CornBread) for the game and not a single one of them knew who or what or where a TCU and/or Horned Frog is/was.
I did my best to explain and they finally had some comprehension when I mentioned SMU (which of course they had significant knowledge).
I advised them that they were SMU's jealous rival as they were relegated to existence in Fort Worth (I had to explain that FW is a suburb of Dallas!
); I then explained that they had worked really hard to build their self esteem by pouring significant time and resources to build their FB team.
I told them that TCU's FB team was better than they imaged because they really needed to feel superior to SMU in at least something and that it was a TEXAS self-image kind of thing.
Most were still disappointed that they had to watch "our" Rose Bowl be-spoiled by the interloper from "God Knows Where" Texas when Stanford of the evil no-cals should be representing the Pac-10 against the despicable big, slow, fat Big Televen as GOD intended!
Finally they started getting the picture that TCU was damn good and they even started giving you purple grape Popsicles polite respect and in the end even slightly celebrated your ultimate finger nail biting victory.
Seriously ...
WELL DONE!
and
The L.A. Times Ad is a keeper!

I for one was elated that TCU beat the little sister of the poor Big X + II. Looking forward to next fall.

AKA they did not run it down TCU's throats. TCU could not stop the run, so what did Wisconny do? Pass. Should have run Monte Ball/John Clay 45 times with their mammoth o-line. Oh well

The funny thing was, it was Wisconsin that turned to trickeration to try to win the game. This was no Boise over Oklahoma win.
Go Ponies!!

That's what she said.
