The conference released a national TV schedule today. Other games could be picked up a later date for regional broadcasts, and I assume all of the games will still be broadcast on the internet. We are scheduled for 2 national broadcasts, one on CSTV and the midweek game on ESPN2.

i really wonder about that hallowen game...

We have a Halloween game? Guess I will have to go as either a well paid football player or an out of control rich alumni that is buying players. Two really scary figures.

I'll go as the well paid football player and you go as the rich alum. I will expect to be handed $100 bills all evening.

that's great raplh wrote:i really wonder about that hallowen game...

thats an understatement. I guess that its appropriate that one of my worst nightmares could come true on Halloween. You know, that one where you are at an SMU football game and you and your buddy are the only two guys in the stands?

I hope my fears are unfounded but remember the fresno game several years ago? Besides the final score being a nice surprise, the Fresno midweek game a few years ago was pretty much a major attendance failure.

Tulane game-watching party at the Fox & Hound?

Which Fox & Hound? If you are talking about the one up north in Baja Oklahoma...forget it. First & 10 will do nicely.

Some of us live in "Baja Oklahoma," thank you!
But if First & 10 will show it, and there will be PonyFans there .... I'll be there.

Well perhaps we need more than one gathering place. There should be enough Ponyfans to go around.

Perhaps... perhaps not.

To watch the game at 1st & 10, you will need to convince Mr. Bailey to invest in satellite. He only has cable, and last year CSTV was not available on Dallas Cable.

Don't get me wrong, 1st & 10 is my home tavern - I love the place, but unless things change between now and that game, it might be tough to watch it at Mr. Bailey's place.

Of course, you could just come down to New Orleans with several of us Pony Fans and catch the game in person!

is there still any possibility of the tech game being televised?

It looks like SMU has the least amount of games on TV!!!

Maybe that will change...got a notice from Time Warner last week that they are taking over cable in our neighborhood from Comcast. Don't know if that is good or bad or if that will make CSTV available.

Are all of the games on CSTV online? Did anyone sign up for it last year?
