Must not be a done deal. Wording's been changed on the site:
"June Jones called to say that Texas A&M is looking into canceling an agreement in which the Aggies and SMU were to play a four-game series. A&M would have to pay a lot of money in penalties, Jones said."

If we could be competitve, I'd rather play an 'away' game with slightly biased refs at the Cotton Bowl vs. atm than play a jet-lag away game with extremely biased refs in Hawaii.

I have been saying this since the contract was signed. Just surprised they backed out before the second College Station game.

Site of one of the best SMU-A&M games in recent history. Who could forget that wonderful tie?
