Went to the game there a few years back, had a great tailgate. Huge SFA crowd, I wish we could play in Dallas more often.

The game was terrible.

So just so I have this straight, if we win, we have the right to either re-impose the death penalty or plunder the endowment fund right? That's what happens when an FCS team beats an FBS team isn't it?

I love that SMU Mustangs fb post about this Saturday being a whiteout game got hijacked by SFA fans. Hilarious

Absolutely correct!! (I kind of like the "plunder the endowment fund" option myself.)

Chad Morris had good things to say about SFA on the Ticket this morning. He called out Tamrick Pace saying he was as good as anyone in the country. Also talked about the fast paced nature of the offense last year.

I call that "Mack Brown speak." Every weekend he said "X player is the best in the nation at doing Y." Not saying Morris wasn't sincere in his comments, but still funny.

I think the only time I've heard a coach be sincere about a team that is clearly physically inferior is when Kliff Kingsbury does it all the time.

Reminds me of Brad Underwood's "such a well coached team" comment about every opponent at every press conference.

I'm guessing they have a no alcohol policy on campus in general. They don't really tailgate there, they have the Boulevard where everyone drinks.We had a big tailgate there last time fairly close to the stadium and there were no SMU fans in sight. You probably won't have a problem as long as you don't leave it out for them to see.

And we had our big Alumni tent and normal alcohol sales. Things could have changed however.

Oh yeah, SMU locked it down a bit this year but no alcohol ban. Since a lot of this is first-year policy there's no way to know yet how much they'll enforce. A good friend of mine works for the police department and said as long as you're not acting a fool, they'll probably leave you alone. BUT, this is the new guidelines for tailgating at the Boulevard:

  • Fans that choose to consume alcohol prior to the game must follow these guidelines:
  • For Boulevard holders with guests of legal drinking age, alcohol consumption is allowed while tailgating in designated areas on the SMU campus. Individuals must provide their own alcohol.
  • Alcohol must be served in self-provided paper or plastic cups. For safety reasons, open containers, kegs, and glass bottles are not allowed.
  • No liquor. Beer and wine are permitted.
  • The sale of alcohol on the SMU campus is not allowed.
  • SMU affiliated student and alumni organizations/schools and corporate and visiting team hospitality tents require a minimum of two officially licensed bartenders from the SMU Athletics' concessionaire.
  • Responsible and appropriate behavior is required when consuming alcohol on the SMU campus. Inappropriate behavior may result in sanctions by law enforcement authorities and forfeitures of tailgating privileges.

SMU's media department must be inferior to SFA's.

I guess competent QB play was too much to ask for.

Watching on my phone isn't terrible. Streaming on TV was not working.

Seeing Keemon Freeman score was just salt in the wound.

I'm waiting for SFA to show competence. I did not expect a win or even a close game but a little competence would be nice. Just don't look like a complete joke.

Correction: I guess competence from anyone on the team was too much to ask for.
