SMU vs TCU on ESPN

[Bergermeister]

The Star reported that TCU vs. Beavers would be on ESPN and mentioned that the Iron Skillet game at Ford might also make the cut - albeit a Friday night encounter. Discuss.

[Stallion]

We discussed it before -it was reported that it was supposed to be a Thursday Nite game- I surmised it might actually be a Friday Nite game instead because every ESPN Thursday Nite game involved only BCS teams last year except for a second doubleheader game involving Boise St and a BCS team Oregon. I'd bet Friday Nite.

let's do it; as long as we can show off a packed Ford Stadium for a national TV audience

[BIGHORSE]

Yes, Friday would be much better than Thursday.

[ALEX LIFESON]

Well, let me beat some posters to the punch. It doesn't matter what day or time, it sucks!
As for me, no way can you turn down ESPN!

[SMUSA2013]

I would much prefer we keep it to saturday, but its SMU v. TCU and ESPN... dates no longer matter as long as they are on TV.

Thursday or Friday would be insane on campus. Might as well cancel school for the day

I haven't made it to a game at SMU since 2001. Is a sellout a real possibility/likely? How has the breakdown of frog to pony fans been in the past and what do you expect the breakdown to be this upcoming year? Thanks.

But Thursday and Friday are Greek Party Nights

every night is "greek party night"

[couch 'em]

Someone just forge a letter from whoever is kicking all these frats off campus threatening them if they don't show up, in full force, in SMU gear, to the game. ALL game.

Only thing about a Fri. night game is none of the HS prospects would be able to see it.

They can see the highlights on SportsCenter or DVR it. That may hold more water for some of these young guys than seeing a game in person. This assumes we don't get blown out, if we did it might be best they couldn't watch it in person or live.
