The SMU mindset confuses me-TCU had 5 times more fans there than SMU had in Ft Worth last year. Why don't be measure SMU's support by the same yardstick? It was an SMU home game

Haven't met any alums of Baylor or Tech who think of TCU as a "rival".

I had no idea that there were Tech students who actually graduated.

Probably similar to the number of Fatterson football convicts who actually graduate.

I heard Brandon Carter is taking a 'break' from the team because he's putting the finishing touches on that masters thesis of his.

I hear you Stallion but TCU was coming to watch their team administer an [deleted] kicking and I would think they would bring lots of fans.
Last year SMU was a huge underdog and our fans were going to watch us get our [deleted] kicked.

You have to agree that fans tend to travel better when they are heavily favored to win.

The fact that TCU didn't travel very well nor did they stay the entire game shows they don't really care about SMU and don't get a particular pleasure in kicking our butts. That's what rivals do..... Stay till the end and enjoy every minute of their opponents misery.
