I would have preferred the last regular season game against a traditional SWC (I think that would have been Rice) but it didn't work out and we got over to Dallas for the one I'm not sure about.
California Northridge comes to mind, but it might as well have been California Southlake or California Mines, etc. Probably SW Oklahoma would have drawn a bigger crowd.
Correct. Cal State Northridge November 13, 1999. Announced attendance of 7494 for a big 58-16 Ponies win!!!!!
Yes it would have been nice to close the Cotton Bowl with a traditional rival, but who knows maybe we will be back someday or maybe even at the fraud Cotton Bowl in Arlington in some future generation!
I don't remember the details but Cal State-Northridge was a desperation add due to some scheduling snafu; someone better canceled, or maybe it was a conference-shakeup problem.
