SMU trustee Bradley W. Brookshire ’76 (left) and Ann Warmack Brookshire ‘77, who serves on the SMU Libraries Executive Board, join Mark L. Meyer ’76, a member of the SMU Athletic Forum board, and Judiann Reeves Meyer ’76 for pre-game festivities in the SMU Alumni tent before the TCU game. The SMU-TCU rivalry dates to 1915, when the University’s football team first traveled to Fort Worth for the season opener, according to Darwin Payne, professor emeritus of communications and author of a history of athletics at SMU, In Honor of the Mustangs. The Battle for the Iron Skillet was launched in 1946, according to newspaper reports of the day. This year, the Mustang football team won the 76th Iron Skillet in a 40-33 overtime victory against the 20th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs.
