Your everyday highland park / Dallas residents and students want to see us play "real" schools like Texas A&M, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, etc....
Those are the people that are going to fill up Ford and this is the way to recruit the Lost Generation.
We have been and will be playing these teams, but with the exception of TCU, all the big 12 teams have had to cut back one OOC game because they are going to have one more conference game each year in the future. It is hard to find a replacement game on short notice when someone backs out like Baylor did because of their situation.
