I'm sick of being called Southern Methodist. Why can't we be called SMU like TCU. I never see ESPN or Foxsports mention TCU as Texas Christian.

That's because TCU has made a point of telling media outlets that they should be referred to as "TCU," NOT Texas Christian. SMU has not told media outlets any such thing.

Air Force gets to practice in it. TCU doesn't.

If that is the case, isn't Craig James in a position to fix this?

Someone call Lauren Graham to help, or give me her number.

I'm not sure the networks listen to him until his contract comes up.

That would be a really fun game and a good measuring stick for us. Air Force gave TCU all they wanted a few weeks ago. "June Jones has ZERO interest in this
what measuring stick do you need other than our first game in Fort Worth?

Calallen Stang - SMU has been offically trying to brand "SMU" to all media outlets for the past 6 years - either it takes time or the national media does not take time to listen

TCU had two turnovers in the red zone and one late in the 4th. TCU dominated air force the entire game, they just made some costly errors that made the score a lot closer
It was crazy cold. I was there, 18 degrees at kickoff... then the sun went down.
