To provide a better answer, the big xii is going to a 9 game conference schedule and every big xii team had to drop a nonconference game. Logically, every big xii team wanted to drop a road game as opposed to a home game. Thus, Baylor dropped the @ SMU game.

I have no problem with us playing a layup game on the schedule. We need a gimme. WHY IS THIS SO FREAKING HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

Can't argue with that. Plus, I have friends that went there, so it's gonna be great on the blvd that day.

Yup.

Unless we would have won......

Some people have no concept of scheduling. Yes, the Baylor/Big 12 issue caused the Bears to drop us. It probably was a blessing in disguise.

According to these knuckleheads, you would think that if SMU's non-conference schedule isn't consistently KU, TCU, Navy and A&M or whatever else along those lines then it's bad scheduling.

NO IT'S NOT!!

Look around college football where just about every Division I team plays one cornball non-conference game in a season to mix in with everything. You can play some decent non-conference teams but give your team a chance to catch its breath.

SMU should have started doing this last year. You need a game where you can evaluate what you are doing on the field, break a sweat, pick up a W and in the meantime, pay someone to kick their [deleted].

Now, if our fans are bent out of shape because it isn't an opponent they want to see, then that's troubling. I thought you bought tickets for the purpose of WATCHING THE MUSTANGS REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY PLAYED.
