TCU Random Fact of the Week: The Baseball Bowl Game

Bowl week, y'all. It might not be a New Year's Six, but it's a New Year's Eve Eve, and that's pretty close.

In the spirit, let's time travel back to one of the first -- and weirdest -- bowls TCU has ever played: the 1936 Sugar Bowl.

The opponent? LSU.

The score? 3-2.

Wut.

Then-LSU coach Bernie Moore blamed the low score on the rain, which created the slippery field conditions. But TCU coach Dutch Meyer called the game "finest I've ever seen played in the rain," according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Sammy Baugh was quarterback, though he didn't do much other than make a 44-yard run.
