Your Own Words

When have you rubbed the Horned Frog statue’s nose for good luck?

In October, a Huffington Post blog picked our TCU Horned Frog statue as one of the most-loved statues on college campuses. TCU Magazine readers shared about the times when the campus landmark brought them good fortune.

“Graduation weekend for one last time before I moved back home to Ohio. It was bittersweet, sort of a sad goodbye and thank you all in one.”

Stephanie Harshbarger


“Before every home game.”

Alex Hoff ’98


“Last Saturday, it must have worked: TCU 82, Texas Tech 27.”

Jim Cawthorn ’59


“June 2014 when we came to show our kids the campus.”

Stacey Callison Trulove ’96


“Definitely for football games. The team makes me nervous sometimes, but I make it a part of my pre-game routine.”

Tammy Gibbons ’88


“Before taking my first round of state teacher certification exams. Passed every one!!”

“Before every test and then at graduation!”

“My husband and I, both TCU alums in 2002, rubbed it on our wedding day. It has brought us good luck so far.”

“As a student, before every test and exam. As a graduate, just for old time’s sake, when I am on campus.”

Simon Wakefield ’91


“Before job interviews. It has worked twice for me.”
