Hypnotoad takes its place among TCU traditions

Texas Christian University fans sound off before a big national championship game. They are not only fierce on the field, but some of TCU's traditions are worthy of cheers as well like the Frog Horn and the Hypnotoad.

"You wanna win that last game of the year. That’s our goal right now and that’s something that we want and I think we’d be pretty disappointed if we weren’t able to. That’s our goal right now. And that’s what we’re planning on doing," said TCU quarterback Max Duggan.

TCU has not won a National Championship since 1938 when legendary Horned Frog Davey O’Brien was the quarterback.
