I see Temple on the road as a tough one, despite their current record. Assuming it even gets played on Saturday night.

[Stallion]

you know SMU has 7 days off after Temple-probably a good thing in case travel problems

A reschedule for Tuesday would be nice.

They said on the postgame last night the team will probably leave Thursday instead of Friday to beat the snow.

Yea with all this snow they talking about this weekend Forsure.

The snow could work to our advantage.

Hopefully SMU fans that plan to go (including MK family) will be there regardless. This is one of their only opportunities to see the team this year in the Northeast (along with UCONN).

More Temple fans/students may stay home.

Chance for our SMU crowd to be a little more lively and make some noise like they did last year (Kudos to those who were there - it was apparent via tv).

If i go it looks like it has to become a full weekend trip. I arrived home from NOLA at 1:00 this morning.
I'd have to hit it out of here friday morning at the latest. I've got tired legs and a short bench.

Based on the way our guys' legs have looked in the last couple of games, I think that 7 day rest is much needed.

[sadderbudweiser]

I've said this previously but its worth repeating. A postponement of this game would probably be a good thing for our guys.
