TCU Latest School To Rip On Cincinnati's Affinity For Skyline Chili
There are certain teams that if they lose they need to expect some kind of trolling from the opposition. Take the Cowboys for instance. A loss means they and their fans need to be ready to answer whether or not they are still "dem boys."
Let's keep it in the Lone Star state for another example. If the University of Texas loses, they should expect to see some Horns Down hand gestures.
Although, even if they're expecting it, they'll still probably cry about it.
I've noticed recently that there's a new addition to this list: the University of Cincinnati Bearcats.
When they lose, some teams are taking a swing at one of the city's most famous culinary exports, Skyline Chili.
The latest to do this was TCU Horned Frogs, who beat the Bearcats in a 75-57 game on Saturday afternoon.
Once the game had gone final, the Horned Frogs social media account had a video victory lap ready to go. And what better way to celebrate than with one of the most famous chili moments in television sitcom history?
I don't expect the Bearcats to start crying over this the way the Longhorns get all worked up over horns down, but at some point, they're going to get annoyed by the frequent chili chirps.
We saw one of these from the Bearcats' fellow Big 12 newbies, the University of Central Florida Knights. They celebrated their maiden Big 12 win, which came over the Bearcats, with a sliced-open can of Skyline.
I have yet to sample myself some Skyline Chili. Don't get me wrong, I love chili. So much, in fact, that I once considered becoming a firefighter, just because making and consuming chili seemed like such an integral part of the firehouse experience.
I'm just not convinced that I'm going to like it considering every report I've heard from people makes it sound like a chili that I wouldn't dig.
Oh well, I guess I'll need to buck up and give it a whirl just to see if it's good enough for it to be the primary thing people troll about the University of Cincinnati Bearcats.
