Five things SMU fans should know about heated rival TCU

SMU will host rival TCU on Friday night as it looks to improve on its 2-1 start. Here are five things to know about the Horned Frogs.

1. Rivalry -- The Battle for the Iron Skillet is by far the biggest rivalry of all when it comes to SMU athletics. The winner of the game literally receives an iron skillet. Why? Legend has it that during pre-game festivities, an SMU fan was frying frog legs as a joke before the game. A TCU fan saw this and told him that eating the frog legs was going too far and that they should let the game decide who would get the skillet and the frog legs.
