in a report about NTSU's finalized 2016 schedule they have us playing in Denton on September 3
You know if we've got to play them this is probably the best week to play them because we should be able to get 3,000 SMU fans to travel 40 minutes away from North Dallas to see an opener-you'd think that anyway. It will be interesting to see the SMU attendance for this one

Would be a good way to start out the season if we get the win. Better than starting out with Baylor.

I think our team may be better prepared to play a NTSU in the opener too. Let's face it-too many SMU fans think its below the dignity and level of SMU to stoop to play NTSU anyway. I think that may permeate through to our players since I've personally witnessed some of the worst performances in SMU history in Denton. Maybe they will get up for an opener when they might not for NTSU

Nothing better than a "must win" game to open the season!

Last time SMU won a season opener on the road was 9/13/1986 against Rice (45-3).

I know we play TCU next year, but do we play Baylor also? Not sure if that's been set yet.

How many road openers have we played in the last nearly 30 years? I know last year at Baylor.

So many openers that we weren't even competitive in!
