No mention in DMN today of SMU game

I feel we got dissed today by "the snooze." No mention in The Line or College Picks. I swear, it's like we are not even playing tomorrow. Come on DMN, how about acknowledging that there IS a game on the Hilltop. Sheesh!

Don't play a Division 1-AA school.

there is no line on this game b/c it's against an FCS team. no line = no pick.

derp.

so, as sports editor, you say "how much coverage do we want to dedicate to the team that was 1-11 last year, and is 1-2 this year playing an FCS school no one in Dallas has heard of or cares about?"
answer: none - just make a few blog posts EJ.

The game is getting the exact amount of coverage it deserves.

a bunch of games I'd love to catch on TV this week involving Texas schools-almost SWC Reunion day

TCU v Texas Tech
Arkansas v A&M (JerryWorld)
Rice at Baylor
Oklahoma St v Texas

Incroyable. Unglaublich. Nieprawdopodobny. Increible.

Have other former SWC teams played against FCS football programs lately, especially Baylor and TCU? How about UNT which I mention because they are nearby. And UTSA, UTEP, and TSU, Arkansas even.

What coverage pre and post game did they receive?

Is the game mentioned in the Anniversary special section mentioned above?

Looks like the DMN could have run a few lines in the Sports section. Pretty cynical if they did not - they know that SMU needs to get the word out generally about sports and certanly football and will probably run ads no matter what.

Maybe SMU ticked off the news paper sports editor by not inviting him (her?) to some cocktail party.

Finally, how about the Star Telegram?

by **Stallion** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 3:22 pm

There was a generic article about Chad Morris bringing the program back in DMN supplement. I believe the supplement was a paid advertisement

Star Telegram really puts everything behind a pay wall these days

SMU paid top dollar for that special insert in today's paper.
