Postby Stallion » Mon Dec 18, 2017 6:25 pm

Ruston in 2020
Dallas 2021

not sure length

read from a Louisiana Tech recruiting site on twitter
"With a quarter of a tank of gas, we can get everything we need right here in DFW." -SMU Head Coach Chad Morris

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.

Hey, maybe we can get Liberty U on the schedule, if Baylor will let go.

not a bad regional home/home deal...not unlike playing Arkie State. I'd rather play games like this than Southland/FCS games but understand the latter are necessary when we take a road warrior/paycheck game like next year vs Michigan

I'd rather keep Falwell U off of the schedule.

Not happy with scheduling LA tech but whatever. I guess to lighten the schedule Dykes. Typical SMU...

All say this. We're slowly trending upward while most of the Big XII is trending downward or holding water. If we think Baylor or Tech is looking to schedule us in an OOC game keep dreaming.

White flag, let’s give up then! I’m thinking it’s we are trying to cupcake the schedule for Dykes.

Exactly. The problem with becoming a good AAC team -> many P5 programs don't want to risk playing you.

With the exception of TCU, we are pretty close to reaching the point where any P5 game will involve becoming a Road Warrior.

We need to schedule Boise State, BYU, Fresno State, San Diego State, Colorado State, and any P5 possible.

Is this a joke? La Tech has been a perennial bowl team for the last 7-8 years. It is relatively close to Dallas. They'll bring a good crowd to Ford. What is not to like about this?
Back off Warchild seriously.

No joke. TCU path to victory was with challenges morning this crap. Beat LA Tech isn’t going to move the needle for us. It will have the exact same effect as beating NTCC. Nothing. Losing? Makes you look like you are regressing.
