SMU to host Northwestern State in 2011

[Roach]

Sorry — that's what I meant.

Still don't know why anyone is surprised. Such a last-minute replacement leaves few options.

[Big Hoss]

You guys are seriously going to complain about NEXT year's attendance because we added what should be an easier win to our schedule? We have away games at A&M, TCU, and Houston, plus S Miss who we've had a tough time with, and you're worried about attendance?

Let's just concentrate on this year and getting to a bowl, shall we? Good Lord!

We have who we have. BU dropped us and I hope paid us a ton of money to do it, or agreed to a 2-1 instead. Given Padron's/wideout's sophomore slump this year, having a 1-AA team on the schedule as a confidence builder after going to Kyle Field may be a good thing. And getting a home game against a quality opponent at the last minute is nearly impossible. Do we want to play 7 games on the road? I was thinking that JJ might have tried to swing a home and home with Hawaii and we could play game 13 against them next year in August.

Easy win, I like!

Hey... we are going to play Northwestern, cool... State, oh... never-mind.

[West Coast Johnny]

That is a crap schedule.

We go to Kyle Field on the 3rd of September, Northwestern State comes here on the 17 of September, there probably will be a C-USA game scheduled for the 10th of September and chances are that opponent won't be a confidence builder for Kyle.

All the more reason we need Northwestern State and not a Texas Tech.

Jones' fourth SMU team will need a "confidence builder" against a 1-AA opponent?

[WSGJ]

At least it isn't a road game at McMurry.

We're going to need one of these every season especially if we keep opening versus Big 12 teams.
