The Baylor–TCU football rivalry, popularly known as ''The Revivalry''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Revivalry has become big-time Big 12 rivalry )〕 is an American college football rivalry between the Baylor Bears and TCU Horned Frogs. The first game of this series was played in 1899, making it is one of the oldest, most played and most competitive rivalries in all of FBS college football. The game has been played 111 times, with the series currently tied 52–52–7. Only the SEC rivalry between the Georgia Bulldogs and Auburn Tigers is nearly as competitive over such a long period. ==History== First contested in 1899, and having been played 111 times, the rivalry is one of the oldest and most-played series in college football history. The two schools, which were once both located in Waco, Texas, and are now separated by only 90 miles. Baylor was chartered in 1845 by The Republic of Texas and founded as a Baptist institution in the same year with its original location in Independence, Texas. Baylor permanently moved to Waco forty years later, in 1885. TCU was founded in 1873 as AddRan Male and Female College by two brothers, Addison and Randolph Clark, in Thorp Springs, Texas. The school was later renamed AddRan Christian University and relocated to Waco in 1895. The university was renamed Texas Christian University in 1902, and TCU relocated to Fort Worth in 1910 after a fire destroyed the school's main administration building in Waco. Between 1899 and 1910, when both schools were located in Waco, the Bears and Horned Frogs frequently faced off multiple times per season. In the early years of the rivalry, TCU and Baylor did not play as conference foes. Like most schools of that era, Baylor was independent until becoming a founding member of the Southwest Conference (SWC) in 1915. TCU subsequently joined the SWC in 1923, after competing as an independent (1896–1913 and 1921–22). After TCU joined, Baylor and TCU played 69 times as SWC foes, until the SWC disbanded in 1995. After a 10-year hiatus, the universities renewed the rivalry in a non-conference series in 2006–2007 and 2010–2011. During this series, TCU competed in the Mountain West Conference. TCU joined Baylor in the Big 12 Conference in 2012. The 2014 contest marked the first time in 110 meetings that both Baylor and TCU faced off as ranked teams (#5 Baylor hosted #9 TCU). The 2015 contest again featured two ranked teams (#15 TCU hosted #7 Baylor). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baylor–TCU football rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
