Just like I will never attend a Sunday basketball game, I won’t do Friday college football. That line should never have been crossed.

Seems like we should have a pretty good crowd with a bowel birth on the line. Maybe 25000?

I'm definitely not showing up to watch a bowel birth.

That could be really ugly. :lol:
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Pathetic. I’m flying in. Get your [deleted] there. It’s not SMU’s fault the game was scheduled for Friday

Normally I’m not but I’m with ECM on this. We should be grateful that we get Friday when there are G5 teams playing on a Tuesday. That my friends is sad. Friday night is much better than Thursday since you don’t have to worry about work the next day (at least for most :))

We've actually had a couple of decent Friday Nite crowds but the weather is a killer-for some. Personally, I prefer Friday Nite to Saturday Nite but I understand the conflict with High school playoffs is a problem. Kinda like having Saturday off

almost 31,000 for TCU in 2016--but I think there was another decent crowd which was bigger than I expected. Oh almost 35,000 for Texas Tech in 2012 but that TCU crowd was probably the best ratio of SMU to TCU fans in a generation at SMU probably because TCU fans didn't want to fight cross-Metroplex traffic

Weather Underground now has game time temperature at 56 dropping to 52 during game. Wind only at about 4-5 mph so not much wind chill. 65 dropping to 61 for pregame activities. Come on that's nuthin'-certainly weather isn't a valid excuse if that prediction holds

Friday night is for high school football. Period.

I still had a SMU season ticket holder tell me, he was unsure about going to the game.....because of the "cold".

Friday at 8pm is kind of an awkward time especially after the time change. It would be perfect in September!

If this game was Saturday afternoon I imagine we would have around 32000.

Friday at 8 I predict about 24000.

I would be shocked to see 24k especially since it's very difficult for visiting teams fans to travel to a Friday night game. but hope you are right.

Tell them to bundle up, and they will be good to go.
