"Only told us the last 1/3 of the 1961 story...Our Heroes faced three different teams that year, who at the time they played us, were nationally ranked No.1...and whom we knocked off of that perch.
KU was the first, and we beat 'em in the Carter 17-16 in September, then travelled to the Shoe the next week, where we tied tOSU 7-7...and then...in Nov in Austin put the hurt on UT 6-0, as cited above. At that third game DKR made his "cockroaches" simile.
Can't really blame him as TCU had 2 ties, 5 losses and only 3 wins for the entire season. The joke became that TCU's opponents during the season were not good enough for us to play them hard.. Wonder when the next time will be that a three-win team will bump off three No.1 ranked teams in a single season?"
