“TCU men’s swim team peaks in October after shaving and tapering for their dual meet against SMU.”
SMU homerism looks a little less snappy with that L next to their score.
Shouldn’t such a global powerhouse as SMU be able to handle TCU in any capacity???
Nope. Still an L
Cotton Fields is quite the name
He has a brother named Barley and a sister named Karsten.
(Cotton and Barley are not their real names, just nicknames they’ve had for so long that I’ve never heard anybody refer to them as anything else, except the occasional slip on a psych sheet).
Well, that’s going to put a damper on all those SMU recruiting memes.
