Of the handful of writers that make up the D Home editorial staff, half are SMU graduates, and only one can claim the Frogs as her own. But the one thing we can all agree on is this: TCU football is fun. Sure, Fort Worth tailgating doesn’t boast quite the same level of glamour as Boulevarding, but TCU does provide some solid gameplay and the occasional victory (reluctant SMU burn implied). Even the proudest Pony can get behind that.
