Man, I figured once the Dykes hire moved on your stupidity would end. But I guess you're the type to beat the drum no matter what.

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?
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.

Scheduling La Tech home and home is a long way from "lightening" the schedule. We'll be lucky to split the
two games.

I’m glad we have Michigan to mix it up but heck get a duke on the road that way it’s still a winnable game or heck Kansas on the road. 2019 we only have TCU for a P5 (no complaining about fan attendance there).

Duke just signed a deal with TCU. (http://www.fbschedules.com/2017/12/tcu- ... ll-series/) What motivation is there for Kansas need to play SMU in Dallas? They already visit Texas multiple times each season.
Now if you are talking road games only, that is something completely different. Plenty of P5 schools would be willing to schedule SMU without having to give a return game. But don't go into them expecting SMU to win a significant portion of those games.
