SMU v. TCU moved to Friday Nite-National TV

[mrydel]

The people on killerfrogs are complaining that they can't get CBS College Sports. Isn't it pretty much a standard cable channel?

Well if they have DISH Network it is channel one fifty two. They probably cannot find fifty two on their remote.

The reason the game was moved to Friday... no high school recruits... not a premium tv package... and maybe not to many visitor tickets....

the frogs know that we are going to EAT FROG and they want to keep the crowd small.


Go Mustangs
Beat the aggies.

I think we'll bring a much larger group to FW this year than in years past. I know I have heard from quite a few people that are planning to head out.

Our fan support has been downright embarrassing out there - I really hope I'm right and we step it up this time around.

[Topper]

We should negotiate for an option to move the game to Sunday if there is a pro football strike.

I cannot believe TCU SMU would not move the game to say Jerrys this year and try to get a better TV deal than CBS Sports on No Recruit Friday Night ? Great game for recruits for both schools.

I tried to organize buses my senior year (fall of '09) for all of the students to travel on. Unfortunately, some other events were happening that Saturday and EVERY SINGLE bus was rented in the DFW metroplex.

If someone alerts the school early enough, I am sure they can arrange for student buses leaving from campus.

NOw I have to decide if I want to skip work to come up for the game. Forgot it was at TCU, definitely less incentive without the boulevard.

[Pony!Poni!Pone'!]

The student showing in 09 was the best I've seen over there, rain and all. Almost felt bad for the coeds who still felt the need to dress SMU gameday hot, weather be damned

[lwjr]

Well, I'm out. Volleyball on Friday's will not allow me to travel. What [deleted] thought this was a good ideal? CBS-CS is national? Does anyone know if the schools were paid to move the game and how much?

[ponyscott]

Hate Friday games but what the heck, lets go get em!! Only NCAA Football game on Friday night should get us some props on ESPN Scoreboard...lets whup em!

[smuuth]

I hope smu's allotment of tickets is in the new endzone. They may be the best seats in the house next year. Elevated seats and close to the field. Opposite endzone includes TCU's big-hitter suites and seating!

[Stallion]

since neither SMU nor TCU are in an ESPN affiliated conference-I hope you guys aren't going to complain every time this happens over the next 5 years. Might want to break down and get CBS-C because we will rarely if ever play on ESPN again.

[RGV Pony]

unless we keep going to ESPN-owned bowl games.

..and the Big East isnt ESPN-affiliated?
