What's bigger? W vs Tech or TCU?

Post by Alaric »

If you had to pick one, would you rather have a win against Tech or against TCU?

Tech's a big stage on Sunday, national tv audience, BCS team and we've had no success against them since the DP. TCU's at home, our biggest rivalry, will be ranked higher...

TCU is also a national TV audience.

I'm greedy...I want both!

Go Mustangs!!!
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

TCU will be higher ranked, but has than non-BCS label on them. A loss to us would probably drop them out of the top 10 even if they run the table. Tech may not be ranked this year, but if they pull an upset over OU or Texas, then a win over them looks pretty good. I want to beat both of them really really bad even though that horse's rear Leach isn't at Tech anymore.

As much as TCU is our rival, I hate Tech much more so I would rather beat Tech than TCU.

I dream of both wins, but in reality, at our current position of coming back I just want us to play well. Tired of blowouts against ranked teams. Give 'em hell mustangs and hang in there.

For all the reasons stated above, I say TCU.

Also, I think it would mean more for our program and momentum going into the heart of the CUSA schedule.

The answer is BOTH, but I will say BCS Tech only because it is our 1st game.

I vote Both.
it would be great to open the season with a W at Tech, and especially satisfying to take the TCU game. national exposure is icing.

I'm going with tech simply because its the first game of the season so generating early positive press is huge. Also, as good as TCU is, they're still in the MWC and not a BCS conference. However, there is no doubt that a win over TCU would be the most impressive win post death penalty.
Those who complain about a problem are simply wasting time they could use to fix it.

Potential is nothing, performance is everything.
