Best rivalry?

SMU has no rivals at this time, either in C-USA or out of conference.

If you didn't feel like you'd beaten a rival last year when we got over on TCU, there's something wrong -- especially when you consider the losses we'd taken in recent years. That was a big win over a team I'll always consider a rival. Losing to them hurt more than other losses, and beating them felt better than other wins.

Nice!

As both teams collect better and better talent, I'd think SMU/Rice might increase a little. Rice is a great school, and it's hard to hate those guys, but on the field, that's one I'd like to see pick up some steam.

I was subjected to your second hand "smoke" for too many years

TCU is probably the first school everyone thinks of when it comes to a rival...it brings in the whole Dallas/Ft. Worth thing too...

I'm surprised that no one has thrown out SMU / Baylor yet! Besides it being the battle of 2 private schools, its got the whole Methodist/Baptist dimension. They were our most anticipated game last year by far on campus, even more than the TCU game. I know a lot more people who went to the Baylor game than TCU (too bad for them huh???)

Most anticipated game? You must run in different circles than I do. My friends wanted to see us beat Baylor, of course, but some of those idiots I hang out with got to The Boulevard ridiculously early and basically turned into rabid dogs when Froggy High came to town. (You should have seen them AFTER 21-10....)
