Frog fans may have been shocked to discover a Southern Methodist University slogan on the football field Saturday, but police say TCU fans might be to blame for recent vandalism on the SMU campus.A groundskeeper discovered the giant word "PONY" followed by an up arrow sprayed on the middle of the field with a weed killer, said David Yarbrough, a supervisor at the physical plant.

The damaged field was sprayed with a liquid turf colorant to mask the slogan before the game Saturday, Yarbrough said, but the long-term effects and cost of the damage is still unknown.
