Making room for TCU?

TCWho doesn't want to play us or they would.

Tulsa has always been a good OOC opponent. We recruit against them and they are an AAC team, too. Would love to play a series with Tulane, as well. 

I won't miss SMU a single bit. They play us only we they need wins to build up their program, then they go away for years until they need us again. We played them in the late 70s until 1981. After that, we don't show up again on their schedule until 1989, as they get back from the Death Penalty and we gladly schedule a 2 for 1 with them, which they won both games easily in Dallas. Then, we don't even get a sniff from playing them again until 2006, which happened to be the last two years that Phil Bennett was on the Hilltop. We beat them in Denton and it cost them a bowl game, then Todd Dodge gave them their only win in Bennett's last season there. Then, finally, we show up in a longer series, as they build back into prominence under Sonny Dykes and the first chance they get, we get dropped like a spoiled banana into the trash can.

Screw them...

And now...From the Far Side:

untjim1995, you say— “screw them?”🤭 Watch out! Be careful! You’ll start losing votes as sweetheart of the MG rodeo with such talk, whoops, I rather meant—King of Tailgate Hill. 🤴🏽 

I concur completely on the scheduling history part of the SMU-UNT series you so ably described. For the record, I really don’t hate a fully amateur version of SMU, in fact, come 2’nd Saturday in September after the Mustang Band plays “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain for the 100’th time, the mighty Mean Green will be in the process of kicking their - - - “& hows your family been doing of late?”😳

❇️🦅❇️ GMG!

Elsewhere😌 At any rate—for me, I didn’t realize hitting a certain age meant the dispensing of non-stop Dad jokes (nobody quite gets including myself at times); that is, doing terrible jokes until the day I freakin’ croak?  Why wasn’t I warned this could happen when I was in my 30’s or 40’s so I could better prepare myself?🙄 Oh well...
•••See y’all on “Exorcise the Demons On Band Day” on September 6, 6:30 pm, Apogee Stadium, when the NW St. Demons invade & try to possess our House.  (I’m non-Catholic, but for this game maybe Wren & Company could invite all area Priests to bless us with their presence? (For a legit hook to get the Priests to Apogee,  tell the brethren the ‘Brigade & “mass” bands will play a very unique version of Ave Maria to the tune of Amazing Grace. (Yes—very unique). 😇 

🦅 GMG!

You are excused. The first time a boy sees a half-naked lady can be quite a shock. 😂
