To-do list for TCU Horned Frogs:
|
A decade ago a tradition that has grown and is a must see is the "Candlelit Friday Night Before the Game Bloodletting" ceremony. The student body and fans dress in hooded black robes, the Most High Priest performs an animal sacrifice(usually a goat, but has been other animals if they are more readily available) and all walk by dipping their fingers in the blood and smear it on their cheeks. It is said to insure victory. Some claim it is the ritual responsible for the Horned Frogs gridiron success over the last ten years.

This article is shaping up nicely. Please keep up the good work. I'll try to lend a hand if I have a bit of time and if I'm needed. Johntex\ talk 20:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I can't bring myself to do Men's Basketball right. I'm counting on someone else to do it. I'll tackle tennis and cross country. Then I want to start on a seperate TCU Football page. General125 04:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm having a tough time finding out which years the Lady Frogs won a conference title in the regular season, the conference tournament or both. I've found the data from the SWC years, and I remember when they won the tournaments in 2002-03 and 2004-05. I know they didn't win the regular season title in 2002-03, and didn't win either crown in 2003-04 or 2005-06, but I can't remember about the regular season in 2004-05 or anything before 2002-03. Can anyone help me? Also, I'm working on getting all the NCAA tournament appearance information into a table. jadailyTCU 02:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
As of 19 January 2007, I have proofread the initial blurb, the football section, the baseball section and the women's basketball blurb. If anyone makes further changes to these, please let me know! jadailyTCU 02:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I am currently working on the Swimming section. It needs a lot of updating so I will be working towards that. This will be done soon and if anyone has input for this section please feel free to add on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frogswimming ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
I recently created the article for TCU head women's coach Raegan Pebley and my research made me wonder if the school still uses the "Lady Frogs" moniker or if they have transitioned to "Horned Frogs" regardless of gender. If you look at the 2014–15 women's basketball media guide, each page is branded "Horned Frogs." Also, when I look at the Big 12 women's basketball media guide, the TCU entry clearly says "Horned Frogs" – as opposed to Baylor in the same section, which still reads "Lady Bears." I could not find any kind of official release, but it feels like that for basketball at least it is just "Horned Frogs." Anyone have any insight here? Is it true of basketball but not other sports? Thanks. Rikster2 ( talk) 13:52, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Start because it's not a stub, but far from being ready to show off. High Importance because it's about athletics for an entire university. |
