broadcasts. The Sept. 22 home game with NC State will start at 5:30 p.m.

from 6:00 p.m. The game at Tulsa on Nov. 17 has been moved up 30 minutes
from 2:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Great - two homes games and a game that's well within driving distance? It's nice to be on TV, of course, but won't that allow a cop-out for people who are too lazy to get up and GO TO the games? They should televise San Jose State, UNC, and Nevada.

For those of us out of town, it is great to have the games on TV. It is also great for those kids you are recruiting. After we have been on TV for a couple of years, we should complain, but not now. I just hope one of the regional sports cable networks (Fox New England or New England Sports Network) pick up the games.

Boston Pony and other out-of-towners, I don't know this for sure, but I would assume that even Fox Sports Southwest sets their broadcasts up on satellite such that if you have access to a TV set hooked up to a satellite antenna and given the coordinates you should be able to pick the game up. Perhaps your favorite pub would do you the favor. I mean that's what satellite TV is all about isn't it ... three thousand stations at your finger tips?

any decent sports bar can pick up these games on Fox SW. Last year my "regular" hangout here could pick up the KSTR broadcasts, although that signal was weak (and fuzzy) at times. Maybe it was the beer?

Home games (and one in Tulsa) or not - it is great that SMU will get this exposure! Good for recruiting. So, Mustangs - let's WIN!!
