ESPN looking into moving SMU/TCU Game in Dallas to Friday September 9, 2010 for National Television (several subsequent posters state that 9/09/10 is actually a Thursday-less time to prepare for Run and Shoot-I kinda of like it. Also TCU has a tough Game with Oregon St on the Saturday before)

well, there goes the Blvd if it's on Thursday night. They'll open it at what, 5 for a 7:30 game?

Hope we come back from Tech healthy. And I hope something good happens the first two weeks. To go from 0-0 to 0-2 in 5 days would really suck.

That is badass if true. SMU vs. TCU should be the premiere non BCS matchup every season.

That would be awesome! This rivalry needs to gain national attention. Good for both teams!

I think they would have to open the BLVD earlier than that. Then again, would they really make me pack up my stuff if I got there at 3?

This isnt good for them. TCU would be coming off a short week against Oregon State at Jerry World. I would want to see them coming off a full weeks rest and preparation.

Sounds like fun and winning at TT would be a great start and the TCU game would mean so much more and Ford would be rocking....but correct, going 0-2 would not bode well.

This is actually the Thursday night game...

What time did they open it for the Halloween game against UAB a few years ago? If my memory serves me correctly, the Blvd. was open fairly early.

SMU would be playing at Texas Tech on Sept. 4 so both teams have to deal with a short schedule.

Go ponies

They have to clear the students out and make everyone move their cars. I wonder where you'd park?

Heck, we have a tough game with TTech the Saturday before.

I got a strong feeling this is really going to be a Friday Nite game which I prefer. I know ESPN contractually guranteed the ACC and other BCS conferences a big number of Thursday Nite games at least last year. Could be different in 2010 but look at the 2009 Thursday Nite schedule which is dominated by BCS schools-in fact each and every game except Boise St. v. Oregon involved a BCS conference home team. And the Boise home game was really a late nite second bill on a Thursday Nite doubleheader over Labor Day weekend

I hope it isn't on Friday night. I don't like going up aginst High School football.
