Whoa! SMU playing @ the "BIG HOUSE" in 2018

[sbsmith]

question is why won't Michigan give us a return game at Jerryworld? You would think they would want the Texas exposure. I assume we asked and they said no, or maybe we are just going to concede Jerryworld to TCU.

Because we're not a P5 team.

Wow. So amazing. I will definitely be going to this one.

Yikes!

What do they gain from it? UM-UA is a sellout (with high ticket prices) and a national TV game in prime time. Would any of those apply to UM-SMU? Is SMU willing to bet on a $4M+ guarantee?

call it a neutral field game under a separate contract and split the gate 50/50. Why would Michigan do it? simply Recruiting, Recruiting, Recruiting. The same reason Notre Dame played here this year.

Yep. Also they don't want three powerhouses on their OOC slate- they would view us as an easy W and a strategic recruiting trip. Win-win for them

UM has recruited in TX for decades, so this isn't exactly new territory for them.

If money is the driver, a higher profile opponent would sell more tickets (at higher prices) and command a larger rights fee from whichever network broadcasts the game.

This is dope. I really do hope the SMU schedule is right and that we are playing TCU.

UCF is also playing at the big house in 2016.

WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH I THOUGHT WE WERE SHUTTING DOWN THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM BY THEN?

[Stallion]

On Noes! I think we better drop down and play Craig T Nelson's Minnesota St Screaming Eagles instead-so we can go to the Bahama Mama Bowl

WHY IS EVERYONE SO DRUNK ON EXCITEMENT

IDK about y'all, but this is an INSULT that there is no return game. Damn we look like inferior b*tches now. So much for trying to make the AAC a top conference when we can't even deal a home and home.

we look weak.

It is what it is. Let's get a coaching staff in here that can recruit and coach and beat Michigan in five years. then we won't look so weak

I am much more concerned that no one can spell whoa properly.

Happy now?

Just a joke. I do not serve on the spelling or grammar police forces.

Air Force, UCF and SMU all have one off's with them. It is what it is. Right now, we're in a conference that doesn't matter, maybe is UCF and us can find a way to win these games, we'll be worthy of getting a return game. Right now, we're not.

has there been any word on if the A&M@SMU game in '14 is still happening?

also, TCU recently set up a home game vs Minnesota on the same date they were to play SMU next year so they would have to find an open date if they still want to play.

Isn't A&M-Arkansas going back to Jerrah World starting next year? If so, wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they bought out the SMU game.
