http://www.fiendbear.com/bear1939.htmThat's fine, I'll give us what I was looking for.
The last time TCU won the national championship was 1938. 1939 was generally a bear market with a buying frenzy right before Germany and Russia signed a non-aggression pact in August.
The beginning of WW2 led to a huge drop, followed by a couple rallies and corrections until the bottom of the bear market was finally reached in '42.
Granted, the Ags did win the next year in '39, but I think I'll pull for Georgia this go around.
