Was a game against one of the California directional schools the last OOC contest in the Cotton Bowl?

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.

We bought our tickets from one of the kids outside the stadium for a few bucks and probably I spent way to much. There might have been 2,500 hundred that day, mostly in the lower level on the west side. There were a few folks enjoying the sun on the opposite side.

I am sure we'll do better in 2017.

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!

You know it's really really bad when they market UCONN as a home game. I don't think a single game gets over 25K

I'd doubt any of these AAC opponents have ever drawn more than 20,000-22,000 to Ford (and probably have averaged 18,000. NTSU has

Let's win 7-10 games for three straight years, and then revisit all of the contentious points made in this thread to see who was correct.

Those opponents will draw 25k plus easily after we are an established winner on the national stage. That theory is untested since 1985.

Happy to say I am wrong if we win 8 ish games for three years and they still aren't showing up.

What I know is Stallion wont say he is wrong, because he has never been wrong (and I say that in love fellow Mustang!)

Would be shocked if there were actually more than 20k in Ford for any game except UNT.

The issue is whether you have to play the School for the Blind and 3 Blind Mice to build a strong Football Program. That is ridiculous [deleted]. Playing weak-ass opponents doesn't get you any closer to contending at a national level. It may save the Coach's job or get you a date to the Toilet Bowl but strong teams are built on recruiting and coaching-not a mirage built on the back of Stephen F. Austin. It just makes this "special generation" of SMU fans think they have a strong program.

I remember that...it was the TCU game when JJ won.

He was giddy afterwards...I never thought I would see that day, but he was giddy.
