Definitely could be the toughest at least on paper.

Absolutely, five SWC schools, a future BE member, + Tulsa and Souther Miss. That is a real schedule.

Very exciting. I've got to assume Ford will be a lot more packed this year.
I am trying to get down for the (@) Baylor & TCU games.

I guarantee that the games will be more packed. I am buying 2 more season tickets this year and a couple of my buddies that didn't even go to SMU are buying season tix. Too many good games to miss.

Great schedule. If we can start out 3-1, that would set us up well. The A&M game worries me the most.

Easily the best since Ford Stadium opened.
Looking forward to it.

It's great not only because of the quality but also the quantity - when was the last time we had 7 home games? Have we ever?
I have to ask - Is it unrealistic to hope for an average of 30,000 a game?
If we are able to beat Baylor, and I know that's a big 'if', SFA could be a sellout, or at least 30K - they may actually bring a small amount.
I have to assume we sellout TCU and A&M with a few thousand extra. Beat at least one of those schools and people will continue to come to home games.
Houston will bring a few people, as will Southern Miss. Tulsa and Memphis we will have to fill mostly on our own.
Whatever semblence of a marketing department we have needs to make a push on selling tix this year - we have the home schedule, a couple of stars, and continued upswing in interest. They need to be running "Thad's Ad" as much as possible.
