I'm gonna be stuck in Gatesville on the day of the SMU game without internet access, so I'm hoping I can get radio reception for The Ticket or KNTU...I know it's pretty far off, but will either station make it all the way down in Gatesville? I'm hoping 1310 will since it's an AM station.

Several years ago, I was down in Whitney, TX with the same problem, only they were playing Baylor that night. I was able to pick it up on a Baylor station, but much to my surprise I was also able to pick it up on 88.1

I live in the cedar creek lake area about 50 minutes SE of disorder (Dallas). I used to sit in my p.u., it was better reception, and bounce between the two. I believe 88.1 was better.

For some reason I remember listening to the UNT game all the way up to the Arbuckles in Oklahoma. At that point going through that pass I lost reception.

Edit: I guess I should learn to read gooder- you said Gatesville, not Gainsville. Disregard my stupidity.

You should be able to pick up the ticket on 104.1 in gainesville. The 1310 tower is south of Dallas so it fades out but 104.1 makes it to the the Oklahoma boarder.

Gatesville is south of Denton.

I have family, by marriage, in Gatesville (not the women's prison). You will not get a signal for the Ticket much past south Tarrant County. I don't think you will have much luck with KNTU either. The Word may be your only choice.

It's not stupidity- but the idea stuck. It sounds like it'll make it that far south. I'm hoping everyone's right since I don't want to miss this, even though I can't be there to rampage my way through Highland Park and the University Park area. MWAHAHA.

Don't know how the Cowboys ever ended up on the Ticket. I was at Lake Murray this weekend and couldn't get the Cowboys on 1310, 93.3 or 104.1. Picked it up out of Denver though. Could barely get the Rangers either, even with the car radio.

You'll probably want to check 100.7 FM "The Word" unless I've missed something and they're no longer our radio provider. 1310 will get you SMU's announcers, 88.1 may not reach you, but that is why we signed with 100.7 for a stronger FM signal.

Yeah my bad I read Gatesville and my mind somehow converted that to Gainesville. It probably had to do with the guy who needs to park in Gainesville. So pay no attention to my rambling.

I used to catch that Waco station back in '99. I live in Austin and for some reason a Waco station broadcast our games. I could just reach the signal. It is no longer part of the Mean Green radio network.

Last year I was traveling south out of Dallas on 35E during the 5 overtime game. When I got in my car after work the 4th quarter had just begun. I thought, "I could go to Denton and catch the last 2 minutes. Naaah, I'll just listen to the end of the game on my way out of town." I caught 88.1 almost to Hillsboro. As I topped a hill, the signal increased (FM signal is line of sight), when I hit a valley, I would lose the game completely. At the second overtime I hit what was probably the last hill before the signal faded completely (around Hillsboro). I pulled over on the side of the access road and listened for 10 minutes before finishing the trip to Austin. If I had stayed for thhe entire game I would have run out of gas just idling on the side of the road.

So in short answer (too late) If you are atop a hill with good reception, you might get 88.1 I don't know about 1310. I actually picked up "The Word" 100.7 while camping in Louisiana. SMU's web site says their games are on 104.1 FM as well as 1310. You might try that if all else fails.

No web access where you are? Someone will probably start a game thread

How about this for you? It's not a bad estimate... but, they actually have a notch where 88.3 is in Mesquite, Tx... the good news is that you are out of that notch. Find a very high point and have a long range antena pointing to just north of Denton. I put an extra antena on top of my house just for KNTU because the house is in that notch in the broadcast coverage area and it worked very well. But, I do live in the DFW area. Good luck!

I'll see what I can pick up from the elevation of my location. Hopefully, NTTV will have footage they'll play or KNTU might have an archive radio cast of the show. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.

      A Big 10 vs SEC invitational College Football Playoff is of no interest to me. This will be the 2nd time Tennessee and Ohio State have played in their history. The Clemson vs Texas game will be their first matchup EVER. That to me highlights the absurdity of the out of conference scheduling for the bigger brand teams. And if Alabama went up to Penn State and got blown out exactly the same way nobody would mention it next year when they are in consideration for a wildcard spot with 2 (or maybe even 3) losses.

      No doubt a lot of the institutions are very greedy but the players are doing their damned best to catch up on the great factor as quick as possible and they are making up for lost time. Say what you want about who's responsible, but when your transferring three to four times you are greedy. So you can blame everyone they are equally at fault but don't think for a minute that 90% of the players give a damn about what's best for the game just as the university presidents are hypocrites in the fact that they let this run so far out of whack.
