SMU Future Schedule

[TheRealTruth]

I noticed that Tulane has a contract to play LSU through 2015 and is starting a series as well will Alabama as part of their non-conferance schedule. Then I looked at SMU's future schedule which looks pretty boring and dismal as well as seriously lacking interest.

Thus, I have 3 questions:

1. Is SMU's boring schedule just the result of past bad Copeland/Bennett decisions?

2. Do you think Orsini will schedule better games (i.e. TCU playing Texas, LSU, etc....)?

3. After all this time, why hasn't SMU played Texas. And don't say because we don't travel or Texas has nothing to gain because Texas has very little to gain by playing Sam Houston State and I can assure you that Sam Houston State doesn't travel.

Anyway, I applaud Tulane's decision to schedule games of interest irrespective of the fact that the odds are against them. Further, Tulane went into half time against LSU this year trailing by a point 10-9 (If Forte didn't fumble in the third quarter the game may have been different). Now that's fun to watch. Plus, if you catch a Texas or LSU on a bad year and you're set.

Lastly, I disagree with all those who think a win over a North Texas is better then a close loss to Oklahoma. Plus, two losses won't keep you out of a bowl. So, I don't want to hear that arguement either. I hope part of Orsini's TOP 25 GOAL ALSO INCLUDES A TOP 25 SCHEDULE

Why would UT want to play us?

SMU can't even get to a bowl playing Arkansas State, North Texas, TCU, and Texas Tech plus the wonderful CUSA schedule....why had even more difficult teams to the already "tough" (I guess it's tough since we can't win a game outside of UNT) schedule.

First mistake you made was to listen and believe anything coming out of Orsinis mouth. He will tell the public anything. Just nail his [deleted] to the wall when you see the results. Like most of you did PB. High hopes coming in with all the talk (that's his job, get you to the moment but no climax).

[quote="jtstang"]Why would UT want to play us?[/quote]....Fact is they do. But we have declined.....If you think I'm wrong, check it out.... Personally, I think it would be good to play UT. What do we have to loose ? The worst thing that will happen is the expected and SMU makes a lot of money. A 3 year deal 1st Austin, then Ford or Jerry's, and Austin again. They might go for that. I would rather play Texas then Missouri right now.

I may be, but the results are what they are. Everything I have told you xpony has transpired. Are you really an ex-player or just sit the sidelines? I wanna know, I wanna know.

How would I go about doing that? Better yet, since you have already done it, just post a link.

Why would UT want to play us?

Why would they want to play SHSU?

[quote="mr. pony"][quote="jtstang"]Why would UT want to play us?[/quote]

Why would they want to play SHSU?[/quote]....Or Rice and Arkie State ? Then next year they play UTEP AT El Paso...El Paso ??? How did Mike Price pull that off ???

[jimhagle]

I think the feeling is mutual between us and UT[of not scheduling each other] but it is plainly obvious we don't want any part of UT. And that is unfortunate and hard to figure.

you guys are tards. ut doesn't want to play us based on our teeny tiny stadium. they would love to give their dallas alums a game in their backyard as they do their houston (rice - seating 60,000+) alums. instead they go a few blocks over to tcu which can house their 50,000+ fans. thank for nothing gerald ford... you couldn't give a few more bucks to have a bigger stadium?
