Saturday’s loss to SMU doesn’t end TCU’s season, but reading twitter, it sure felt like most fans think it did. At times, it felt like we spent more time flagging and blocking people than we did watching football, as fans turned to name-calling, slurring, and even as far as mentioning whether Art Briles might be a good fit for the Horned Frogs in the future.
I guess that’s what losing to SMU for the first time in the last eight tries will do to you.
We had a commenter in the post game call me out for saying Saturday’s game was SMU’s Super Bowl, but I stand by the assertion - since the dawn of the Gary Patterson era, The Battle for the Iron Skillet has meant more to our neighbors in Dallas than it does to the Fort Worth side of things, and that was evident at The Carter Saturday.
