If I'm A&M I want this game. So far it's everything they could hope for in an OOC game:

FCS school
Easy win
Geographically and media relevant
Old timers love it

The Aggies will do what it takes to keep this game.

They'd make more money on a home game plus playing consecutive weeks in DFW is likely to depress interest in one of the games (likely the SMU game).

I would like to see us play a game that brings some fans and a visiting band to the stadium. This could include. N Texas, SFA, Northwestern State, Abilene Christian, Rice, TX State.
