Has a team ever willingly forfeited a game to avoid the embarrassment?

I hope having my school's stadium 80% full of cheering Aggies as we struggle to get a 1st down is everything I dreamed it would be.

Sumlin has been pretty generous about calling off the dogs versus us in the past. It won't be more of an embarrassment than the 2012 game. Plus Ford will be full so you have to enjoy that because we don't see it often.

There are a ton of A&M fans that aren't going to be willing to pay full price for tix to that game when they have Arkansas the following week in JerryWorld.

It'll probably look like last time where it was about half and half A&M/SMU fans with massive chunks of empty sections.

Like last time huh, so we'll still sell 32K but there won't be any temp seats this time so the regular seats will fill in better.

I dunno man, I really don't think there were 32k actually in there w/how barren the endzone was and I kind of wonder if the claim that they sold that many was legit.

A&M will bring its band which makes the game worth seeing. But it'll be a blow out. Sum line will have the first team out by half then mom and dad get to see their back up sons play. You can bet all the 2nd and 3 team friends and families will be there.

I look forward to seeing the Aggie Band, always entertaining. Too bad we will probably be down by 40 with Aggie Third stringers getting ready to stomp us in the second half.

I didn't say there were 32K there just that we sold that many, can't see us selling less than that considering we won't be gouging them this time and Aggy will have at least a Top 10 team coming in but you're right that Arky game the following week (much better opponent and much better venue) is worrisome.
