I like Stallions take. Unless they overwhelm our fans, which would be our fault, 10k NTSU fans is money in the coffers. If they get 12k and we get 18k, that is even more money. Until we consistently sell out because of our product, we need games like this. I'm confident our fans will handle them volume wise in the first half...and our team will handle their fans for most of the game by controlling the game.

The other thing is our fans drink a LOT of beer. So you should make some good dough on that as well win or lose.
I do not agree with series, this should have been a 2 to 1 with them coming to SMU twice or just not make trips to Denton. I prefer TCU, Baylor, Rice, Tech, Texas and Aggy for home and homes.

Why? We'd get our assess handed to us by most of them and Rice wouldn't draw anybody. As of right now we need to be playing the UNTs of college football so we can get to a bowl game. When we are better I agree but getting blown out isn't going to help.

Probably been reported previously on this board, but what is the typical payoff for a UNT to visit SMU? (This is not a dig at the Denton school but I assume that a Baylor or TCU, etc., gets more and probably AAC schools.)
And do those who operate concessions pay a flat fee or does some account at SMU get a percentage?

The point is for SMU to be better and beat them, not get blown out.
