Even when Robert Griffin III isn't in the starting lineup for the Washington Redskins, the quarterback can still make headlines, as a statue of RG3 was defaced on the Baylor campus, allegedly by TCU fans.
According to Pro Football Talk, Griffin's statue was placed on the Baylor campus following his Heisman winning season and that statue was defaced this week. The report says that the statue was hit with purple paint (the color of the TCU Horned Frogs) and the numbers "61-58" were put on the statue. Tjat was the score for the game last year, which TCU won over Baylor.
The two teams will be playing later in the season and the game is schedule for Friday, November 27 and will be on ESPN. The game is going to be from Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth. According to College Football Talk, the schools both put out statements regarding the defacing of the statue.
From TCU: "TCU and Baylor are both outstanding institutions and share a proud athletics history. Both campuses have recently been hit by acts of vandalism directed towards each other. These actions will not be tolerated. We are working closely with Baylor and public safety officials at both Universities on their investigations. We implore all those who are passionate about their school to respect each other and support their Universities in a positive manner."
From Baylor: "Baylor and TCU are two outstanding Universities who have great respect for one another, academically and athletically, and it is most disappointing that the actions of a few cast a negative light on a rivalry that dates back more than a century. Public safety officials on both campuses are investigating these senseless acts of vandalism and unacceptable behavior."
