There were twice as many as I thought there was going to be. Nice turnout by UH Fans for TV game that meant nothing starting at 11:00 am

I think all Dallas 7-11s were offering a 15% discount to cougar high fans who had a ticket stub.

Well, it is thanksgiving and the student went home and others are elsewhere for family functions. So not so bad under those circumstances.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

It's awesome! 0-10, Thanksgiving, no coach...

I was expecting 5,000-7,000.

I agree. I love to rip on Houston but they brought a lot of people today.

Nice turnout on the home side as well.

I wonder what turnstile count for 2014-it has been a brutal death march

Got to wonder, with the attendance at the USF game (late at night in the 30 degree cold rain) was announced at 19463.

I was pleasantly surprised with the turnout. On the east side, this was easily the most filled the stands have been except for a&m and tcu

Terrible gameday experience at Ford. Two concessions stands open in the ENTIRE stadium that ran out of hot dogs by halftime. Why penalize those who support? You can do better than this SMU.

Spoke to the head man at the Dickey's stand in the north end zone and he said that they were told to only expect about 1500 for the game hence their lack of product. He was surprised so many were at the game and was slightly upset they got bad info.
