TCU game on TV

Postby PonyTales » Sun Jul 30, 2000 5:49 pm

This is great news for SMU. While we all would love to have a contract that puts every game on TV, the fact that the previously scheduled TV games are all road games is a good think -- this enables fans to watch the games when we don't have the ability or finances to travel to the games. However, this will be a great way to show off Ford Stadium to viewers who don't live close enough to drive by and see it, and who otherwise might not get a chance to see how nice the place is.

Also, with the attention TCU has gotten, there probably will be a bunch of recruits who watch that game, initially to check out the Frogs, only to develop an interest in SMU because of the performance we'll put out that day and because of the facility we're playing in.

Well said. Recruiting season will be heating up, and some of them will be at home, belching up leftover Thanksgiving turkey when they see the beautiful Ford Stadium on TV. Hopefully, SMU will have a strong enough season that the seats will be mostly full, especially in a big game like TCU, and bowl reps will realize how much we want to see the Mustangs play in December.
