TCU Traditions
When the crowd starts a chant or the band shifts into a familiar tune, look around before joining in — Frogs fans will show you the moment.
Go Frogs
Start with a two-finger peace sign, then curl both fingers slightly — the small horns of the horned frog. TCU traces it to 1980 and cheerleader Chad Schrotel.
Riff Ram
“Riff Ram, Bah Zoo”
TCU’s century-old signature chant, finishing with a loud TCU sendoff.
TCU Fight Song
Written in the 1920s; expect it after big moments, scores and during pregame.
Hail, All Hail, TCU
The alma mater — more ceremonial, heard during formal and postgame moments.
The Carter March
New this season: players walk through the stands to the field about 50 minutes before kickoff.
Bleacher Creatures
Kids 12 and under meet in the southeast corner by the videoboard 30 minutes before kickoff.
