I wrote this week that TCU discovered the Iron Skillet trophy was broken shortly before the 2018 game and hustled to the local Ace Hardware and replaced it with a $49.99 Lodge skillet. Yesterday, I got to see the handoff on the sideline from an SMU staffer to TCU. 😂

“I knew he could steal my wife,” Paul Pearman said. “But I didn’t know my dog would fall in love with him too.”
