I'm sure that we got payment. I don't believe that this is the first time it has happened. I know the A&M band used our fields when they were in the Cotton Bowl several years back.

Lots of teams have used SMU's facilities before Cotton Bowl games. I remember specifically Colorado doing it. I believe that Kansas State and Texas did also. It has been done almost every year. And I'm sure that we receive something for it.

SMU is always the practice facility for one of the Cotton Bowl participants. The other team uses Texas Stadium.

Yep. Auburn used it last year, I believe.

Bennett and his staff used to watch the Cotton bowl teams practice at SMU and laugh at the fact they actually had a special teams coach.

"I don't know how they plan to win coach. I haven't seen 'em practice the swinging gate once!"

And wallow in the fact that they knew more about football than he ever forgot.

and Alabama when they played Tech. I think they painted a checkerboard endzone in SMU's practice field when Tenn practiced there, as well.
