I'm afraid that stadium is too big to host an SMU game.
A long tradition of existence.

For me at least,

Our bowl game is coming up Saturday, November 20th, at 2:30pm central on ESPN.

Seldom do we get to play a team this highly ranked this late in the season. It should merit much higher TV ratings than we are used to and it should be a sold out, loud, and rocking stadium, something we definitely are not used to. This game should have everything you should want in a bowl game:

Undeateated, Top 5 Opponent.
Sold Out Crowd.
National TV with National Interest.

I am hoping for a good showing and potential win in the BearKat Bowl!

After that, bring on the Weedeater bowl in December.
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!

This inspired me to buy tickets to the game. Driving down from Chicago. Any pre or post game SMU fan events? Must visit restaurants?

If you go to the SMU site you can still by tickets for the pre game gathering. I think the deadline is tomorrow. $25

I chose Will Call rather than hoping it would arrive in time via the mail. How's Will Call at UC?
