TCU is a place of spirited belonging where Horned Frogs have long found connection through our culture and traditions.

The Go Frogs Hand Sign

Cheerleader Chad Schrotel 鈥82 helped our gesture of unity catch on with the crowds in 1980. Appropriately, it鈥檚 like a peace sign with slightly curled fingers, symbolizing the horns of our tiny, mighty mascot, the horned frog.

A Century-Old Cheer

At more than 100 years old, 鈥淩iff Ram鈥 is rumored to be the oldest chant in the Southwest Conference, where we rose to popularity in the early days of intercollegiate sports. Riff, Ram, Bah, Zoo!

SuperFrog

TCU has featured costumed mascots on the sidelines of football games since the 1930s. SuperFrog, created in 1979, had to evolve a bit before being named a Top 25 College Mascot by Sports Illustrated.
