Earlier this week, TCU football’s social media account posted a video that contained complaints about having to play on the CW.
If playing on the CW is deemed as bad or less-than, you know what’s worse? Losing to your rival by double-digits and having your head coach ejected on the CW.
That’s what happened in the third quarter of the Iron Skillet matchup on Saturday, when TCU coach Sonny Dykes was tossed out of the game by referees after he picked up two unsportsmanlike penalties as his Horned Frogs trailed the Mustangs by 20 points.
As Dykes – who coached SMU from 2018 to 2021 before pulling a heel-turn by taking the TCU gig – walked off the field, he raised his fists and pumped them towards the crowd, drawing a mix of boos and cheers.

Here’s how Dykes’ ejection went down, according to the Dallas Morning News:
“TCU wide receiver Jordyn Bailey took the opening kickoff the distance for a touchdown, but it was ultimately called back for holding. That play sparked a reaction from Dykes, who got back-to-back unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and was ejected from the game at the 14:36 mark of the third quarter.”
Things haven’t exactly gone well for Dykes since he led TCU to a national title game berth two seasons ago. Last year the Horned Frogs went 5-7 and this year they are now 2-2.
