The same goes for every single school in the country...but we aren't the ones that got caught.

We might have bigger problems and we may get ours, but is that any reason not to laugh and play? We won't change it. We can't police the football team. And you can be damn sure TCU wouldn't put down their guns if the situation was flipped thinking "oh well, they were so nice on Ponyfans when it was us, let's respectfully not say anything." Nonesense. Sometimes you eat the bear; sometimes he eats you. We'll get ours. They'll laugh and make silly graphics. That's what rivals do.

I am personally having a great time with this while also knowing our student body has the same problems. Also, I don't want to speak for the frogs, but I'm sure they've had a few laughs...just as I would if the roles were reversed

Given how much a lot of the toads think that their university is so much above a lot of the crap that goes on at SMU, I think it's great that they get yanked back to reality every now and then.
They seem to forget that they too are an expensive, predominantly white, loosely Christian affiliated school in the metroplex. Just not as good as us.

How do you reconcile this with Coach Wacker reporting TCU for cheating to the NCAAs in the mid 80s? That led to a veritable death penalty for TCU football based on the sanctions that were handed down. TCU football had not recovered from that until Franchione's arrival in the late 90s. Wouldn't that have been the payback?
It is one thing to have a problem with UT because they have never really been held accountable for their misdeeds, but TCU was hit as hard as any school has ever been by the NCAA save SMU. To ignore all this makes your true motivation sound more like Schadenfreude.

Yes losing 10-15 scholarships and TV revenue for three years is exactly like the Death Penalty...
