Televised Away Games this Season

Mustangsabu · Post by **Mustangsabu** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 10:22 am

According to the schedule on smumustangs.com, CBS College Sports is only televising 1 SMU away game this year. Mountain is showing the game at TCU. That means that only 2 of our 6 away games are televised. Does anyone know if this will remain the case.

I ask this because some very good friends of mine are more than willing to show any SMU games that are on TV at the bar the own, in the shadow of The House that Doak Built. It is called "The Meridian Room" and it is a lovely place, great food and drinks, plenty of parking and quick to get to from the SMU area. They have a large flat screen TV, another television by the front of the bar, and would have audio for the entire game (thus making them superior to NSL.....lol).

Wow...I thought I had heard they closed down last Fall?

Looks like a nice place...but do they have armed guards in the parking lot?

Looks like a rough area.

I wonder if Fox will be covering the WSU/SMU game? I think they have a PAC 10 contract for late night PAC 10 games.

Hopefully it is still early and some more away games will be added. Does anyone know if there is an attempt to put together a local package of a 2 or 3 games like has been done in the past?

Would love to see the WSU game on a broadcast channel somewhere.

The previous owners closed it down and some new folks opened it up again a couple of months later. Fair Park does not have a great reputation but I have not found the slightest problem, and I go there a couple of times a week. For starters all the local police eat in there

It would be a good place for many reasons, if the Highland Park Mafia can look past being in that part of town. But if it was good enough to host all those great games, and Lord knows we played all our home games at the Cotton Bowl across the street and it did not deter the fans.

I just hope more games are picked up for television.

Given the recent news, you have more risk dating a waitress from Dave and Busters or going to a Gentlemen's Club at 3 a.m.

I read on a Navy site that Navy fans were bitchin' because just about all Navy games except for the SMU game in Dallas would be televised. Although SMU and CUSA own the contract rights I was hoping they'd work a deal with the Navy Network shown on CBS-C TV since then they show replays about 3-4 times a week.

Make that First & 10, where the food is edible.

So the TCU game is going to be televised. Translation: fewer SMU fans will make the trek to Fort Worth. Super.

TELEVISE THE GAMES WE CAN'T DRIVE TO!

the home team conference and team controls all TV deals

That's true. I just wish our opponents and Conference USA would televise the games that aren't in easy driving range.
