Both TCU and Utah did something that SMU hasn't. They won games that mattered. They won conference championships. They won matchups against Top 25 competition. They won meaningful bowl games. They had Heisman candidates.
We've got a few Hawaii Bowls and a loss to Army. Apples and oranges.
I agree. That is why we should be playing real teams and not unknown small time programs. Our attendance will not ever improve until we are in a meaningful conference (P5). That is what we need to work on even if it includes bribery.
0 and roughly 60 against teams that matter. We've been trying that and it hasn't worked out so well. Next year we have a home schedule that includes TCU, Houston, Memphis, and Navy. That's pretty darn good for SMU. A nice finish here to get to 7-5 and hopefully a bowl win and maybe we can ride some positive momentum into next season and see a tick up in attendance.
