Typical SMU crowd of about 7,500.

I say 15,000. UTEP actually has some fans in Dallas, as I recall from their last visit, and this will be a great chance for PonyFans to see an SMU win. I bet the crowd surprises you.
I'm bringing a carload up from Waco!

Reality Check-there were not even close to 15,000 SMU fans at Ford in the season opener against a Big 12 team. There will not be more than 8,000 real SMU fans plus some UTEP fans and the usual give-aways.

Will UTEP bring their band?

Yes, UTEP is bringing their full band and playing a half-time show. I always enjoy when other schools send a band, and utep has a decent band. Not loud or jazzy like us, but decent. :p

I'll go out on a limb and say 12,000 paid. Does anybody know if the the 1,500 little-leaguers count as paid attendance? I know they have a "package" deal, but waht's the rule, do they count?

Yes, I think they count - part of the package, I believe, is a ticket to the game.
And there were a hell of a lot more than 15,000 at the OSU game. A lot of OSU fans, of course, but the numbers were there.

Last time these two teams met in Ford Stadium: 17,037.
Yes, some will be Minors (ha!) and some will be freebies. But there will be some folks in the seats.

Ugh.. I honestly believe if we can start winning in the next few years, students will start turning up in record numbers. At least 3,000 students a game... there's at least that many tailgating, but only a small fraction only make it into Ford simply because we're rather appalling to watch
Ahh the tedious, painful process of rebuilding.

weather looks like it will cooperate. I expect about 15k for this one. I'm just glad I get to be among them.

Here's to a big game for the Comet :thumbupcool:
UTEP's pass defense is the weakest we have faced. Most of those we have faced have been darn good.
