Temporary Stands

I think a full grass hill would look much cooler than the temporary stands being full. They were too far away and looked awkward on top of the hill. But that was probably because they were empty.

How was SMU supposed to know that the Aggies would have such poor fan support? I mean to have 50,000 students every year or is it 150,000 if you include BlinnAGS going back a few decades you should have millions of former ag students with several hundred thousand in the north Texas area alone. If you look at it based on undergraduate students in the North Texas area I think SMU did good. Maybe we need to start schedulling teams with better fan support than ones like SFA and Texas A & M.

I think SMU overestimated the appeal of this game to Aggies, who looked at it similarly to their game this week against South Carolina State. They're so geeked up about the new SEC games, that when the prices were set so high, it was easy for them to say no and put the money towards the better games on their schedule.

Not too mention extra $$ for travel schedule to away games they will have to endure. Yes, I think they are stoked for SEC play and didn't see SMU as a good opponent.

There was no extra money for travel costs....they all live in Dallas

Aggies showed up in small numbers when we jacked up prices for the hoops game in Moody a few years back; this was the same deal. Comment about them viewing us as the equivalent of SC State is not far off. They aren't going to overpay to watch a game that was not really expected to be competitive
