It is really cool to see us playing a real schedule. Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Sam Houston State and then it is all above par opponents.
Not in the History of SMU, have we had 5 quality teams coming to Moody (Memphis, Uconn, Temple, Cincy, Louisville). The only thing that would have been better was the original Big East schedule.

Playing a real schedule is not the issue to me however fun it will be. SMU being competitive in that schedule would be really cool. Football is playing a good schedule but it will be no fun if we are not winning.

I think they are fun if you are competitive. we are about to look REALLY uncompetitive in football.
Basketball feels really good - even before the top ten recruiting class coming our way.

pretty good schedule just because of the home/home with our AAC mates. This schedule rivals the schedule Sonny "Run Sonny Run" Allen put together for the 1977-'78 squad that took on # 2 KY, Kansas, Kansas State, Indiana and Mich State on the road and played Duke in Moody (pre coach K but that team had Gminski, Spanarkel & Banks). Texas and Arkansas were highy rated in those years and of course we had them home/home.
thinks are looking up for Mustang hoops

It is great to have a real schedule when your team (coaches/players) actually seems to be up to it.

How about 1984-1985 when we started 17-1. In that run we beat
Kentucky
North Carolina
Oklahoma St.
OU
Texas
Texas A&M
Arkansas
(until Lubbock-"where dreams go to die")

We lost to powerhouse UAPB last time we played them. Hopefully this team can turn that around.

UAPB has a decent team and looks like they have almost all of their team returning. Should be a good game to watch.

UAPB plays 10 straight underdog road games to open every season and prepare themselves for their conference. Most every year they are 0-10 when they start their conference play. The year we played them they were 1-9.

UAPB ended up 17-15 last year from what I read and if they do have a lot of their team returning they could be competitive. I would not overlook them.

If we cannot beat UAPB then we need to pack it in.
