Were our students now even born when the SWC was a thing?

It will happen. Fans will come out because from what I saw last friday, SMU is fun to watch. And fans will come out to watch SMU. If we demolish UNT and keep consistency throughout the season, expect a LOT of things to change

So roughly half our students were born after the demise of the SWC.

Message board is an SMU hate fest...... And someone selling their boulevard spot to NTSU fans

I also wonder if SMU fans at home who had stayed away from Ford the past few years watched on Friday and decide to come out to a game again. Chatted with a buddy yesterday who hadn't been to a game recently but said he was gonna get tix for Sat. It's just one alum and very anecdotal, but it is at least happening with that one person.

yeah I'm going to amend my prediction to 18,000 + NTSU fans because of the 7:00 start time. The 11:00 games does depress the crowds we had last year

I think our fans are more likely to come to this one in many cases than Baylor. Most I talked to expected a slaughter.
