. Legendary coach Dutch Meyer might have preferred it that way the last time TCU played for a national title.“We are the favorites and all the kids know it, and that doesn’t help,” Meyer told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram ahead of TCU’s meeting with Carnegie Tech in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2, 1939. “We have listened to a lot of softening words of praise this last month. That didn’t help our competitive spirit.
The showdown between TCU and Carnegie Tech, which played as an independent and merged with the Mellon Institute to become Carnegie Mellon University in 1967, marked TCU’s second appearance in the Sugar Bowl and the first time in the five-year history of the game that organizers selected two teams from outside the SEC. In January 1936, Hall of Fame quarterback Sammy Baugh and the Horned Frogs edged LSU, 3-2, in the second Sugar Bowl.
“I tried to beat the distractions this year by taking my team to a quiet little village for two weeks, but now, a few hours before the kickoff, I believe the plan missed solving the problem,” Kern told reporters. “Perhaps there’s no solution.”
