If the two schools are REALLY serious about football, this could be a positive. Especially if NTSU builds their new stadium.

Especially if NTSU builds their new stadium.

So what you're saying is that it will never in a million years be positive?

[NavyCrimson]

LOL!!! You got me on this one.

Once again the NTSU obsession with SMU has them posting on our board.

Plus, we need this series so we never have to worry about one of those winless seasons again.

I've always felt we should be playing NTSU and TCU every year, so this is great to hear. Better on the field than the Safeway parking lot

This series needs a trophy fashioned in the form of a Safeway. Or maybe It's the battle for the Golden Shopping Cart.

I think the series starts in 2011 or so. Signed for about a half a dozen years, give or take.

Sounds like an A&M replacement perhaps.

Nope - I think the future A&M games are still on the schedule, too.
Not sure, but I think so.

According to nationalchamps.net

Other than 2012 we have openings.... unless we're playing 13 or somesuch that year. Speaking of 13 games, we need to get something together with Hawaii.

A source at the UNT athletic department has confirmed the details of the series with SMU and Army that will be announced later today.

The SMU deal is for four games from 2014-17 with an option for eight additional games through 2025. The first four games will alternate sites, beginning with a game in Denton.

The Army series will be six games beginning with a home-and-home in 2009 and 2010. UNT will host the first game. The series will then resume in 2016 with the games alternating between West Point and Denton, beginning with a game at West Point. The last game of the series will take place in Denton in 2019.

Well UNT has been to more bowl games than we have in the past 20 years..............

[Nacho]

This is a no win situation for SMU to play UNT. Totally against it.
