14. Real origin is probably lost to the fog of time. But...

Wiki says:

The origin of the Iron Skillet is unknown, but one theory states TCU and SMU fans began the tradition back in the 1950s. During pre-game festivities, an SMU fan was frying frog legs as a joke before the game. A TCU fan, seeing this desecration of the "frog", went over and told him that eating the frog legs was going well beyond the rivalry and that they should let the game decide who would get the skillet and the frog legs. TCU won the game, and the skillet and frog legs went to TCU. The tradition eventually spilled over into the actual game and the Iron Skillet is now passed to the winner.
