SMU vs. Oklahoma on December 7, 1985 was a day game. I don't recall if it was televised 'cuz we drove up from Dallas to see the action .... not a pretty game.

Jamelle Holieway was an unstoppable nightmare that day for the Ponies ... but hell, he was pretty much unstoppable for everyone.

Is that the game we rolled down the field and scored first, but then OU rolled up something like 35 unanswered?

It was on ABC. The game was moved to December before the season since it had national championship implications!

I think that game was televised. It's on UTube anyway. Not a pleasant game to watch.

Dont' know yet.

My post was about ABC having it as their Primetime game.

We'll see about Gameday.


Surprised this has not been announced yet.

If I remembered two weeks ago, it took all the way to 6 or 7pm to finally announce it.

When we had Game Day a few years ago they announced it the week before but they had already announced Mike & Mike were coming two weeks in advance so that was kind of a giveaway.

I forgot the SMU VS Oklahoma game in 1985 was a day game. I guess to find out the last time SMU was on a primtime at night would you have to go back to the 1982 or 1983 team VS somebody like Arkansas? The big games against Texas were usually during the day. It is a dream come true to be on prime time Saturday night in Memphis. I am going to enjoy it.

No doubt. This part of the schedule is going to be a grind. Throw in the conference championship game (hopefully) and the bowl game, and our guys are about to find out what bigtime football is all about. What a great time to be an SMU Mustang!

Did the commercial say where in Memphis it is going to be set up?
