When is the last time, SMU had this much to play for in a regular season game?

UTEP game when we became bowl eligible for the first time in several years.

ECU 2010, that win sent us to our first and only C-USA title game. Fun game.

I have to agree with Mrydel on the UTEP game. That was the loudest I have ever heard the stadium when we stopped UTEP on 4th down to send us to the Hawaii Bowl.

Loss to uconn would have been devastating.

Big game for the Mustangs!!!

I thought SMU was bowl eligible in the win before that at 6 wins but the UTEP game gave us a guaranteed in at 7/wins. But yes, the game was important.

UConn yesterday - next biggest game after Memphis - Tulsa.

Beat the Tigers!!!

The UTEP game was for bowl eligibility, and the Tulane win 2 weeks later gave us 7 wins. Had we beaten Marshall the week after UTEP (Sterling Moore missed that game and his replacement was picked on all game long) we would have played for the C-USA title.

UTEP game in 2009 is up there for sure.

YES!

I remember the Taylor Thompson sack to seal the UTEP game like it was yesterday

Loudest I have ever witnessed at Ford up until then and since.
