I strongly advise you to park at the DART station, safely in Dallas, and walk over. Driving something like that through the park cities is guaranteed to be an issue with the police, with or without the paint scheme.

well, you scared the shit out of me.  taking the wife's car and schmoozing around the Boulevard incognito now.

Shortest drive of the year for me but football > football loyalties. Wish I could be in Seattle Friday night honestly. Go Mean Green. 😕

Watching our team lose is fun??

The start of basketball season has eased the pain.

Opening night of HS playoffs and ESPN thinks it’s a good time to force a DFW area college game to move from Saturday to fill a schedule.  ESPN has to die.

Anyone know if the weather will help one team more than another?

218-220 are the visitor sections.

It'll be dry by gametime, a little on the cool side but probably not impactful one way or the other.

Oddly enough, this may be my score prediction. lol

We score 218? That would require 30 touchdowns, 2 field goals, and a safety. No way our defense forces a safety!!

See you at 6:40 at the Beltline Station (Orange Line to Mockingbird Station).

I’ll be there but alone shooting on the sidelines.

Each and every year it’s progressively harder to get people to go to the SMU games, and with it being 8:00 on a Friday night not in Denton, nobody wanted to go lol and others out of town.

We have over 42,000 students currently, is it too much to ask, for 2,000 of them to go to the game?

I saved my solar eclipse glasses to wear at this game.  Seemed like the best way to shield my eyes from the scoreboard.

My better half and I will be there.  She threatened to wear SMU colors after the last two games.

[jredallas]

I will be there, but I feel like this is going to be the sparsest UNT crowd at an SMU game in Dallas since this most recent home and home series started with them.

You're probably correct. 

A late kick and low 50-degree temps on a damp Friday night will not help.  Let's be honest, SMU's parking situation sucks too.  Mostly parking across US75 with long walks or waiting for a shuttle bus from their free lots on SMU Blvd or the DART Lot on Mockingbird.  SMU asked for people to prepay for parking for their garages and lots, but don't link anywhere on their ticket site to where you can buy the prepaid parking.

I have always parked on the street in the neighborhood south of Mockingbird without issue going back to years of hanging out with SMU friends on Blvd before games.  I hope that is still a good option tonight.

we can not even get 2k students at home games and you expect them to drive into Dallas Snob High to watch a game?!?!?

It usually is, we use reverse bigotry. Always refer to them as smut and snobs.

Wish we could figure out a way to get the students out but it has been a problem for decades and no AD has solved it yet.

Watching this one from home.  First UNT/SMU game I’ve missed in about 6 years.

[DentonStang]

Good boulevard. Live band.  Lakewood brewing is passing out free Pony Pils by the flagpole!
