    On the whole they didn’t … they despise TCU and Dykes
    My SMU fren/alum said it was a big debate within SMU circles on whether to support froog. From “they’re our neighbor and similar” to “fuck that we hate them”.

    Even some discussion of replacing SMU flags with TCU ones for the day of the game?

    Just what I’m hearing no idea if accurate. But even considering that is embarrassing as fuck.

    TCU, Baylor, Houston and Tech would have been the play. Trade LA for the rest of Texas. Those four teams are all P5 worthy and at least play football and basketball at a competitive level while having access to rich pools of talent. UNLV? SDSU? SMU? Boise? Fuck no. The rest of the P12 can play a non con game at SoFi or the Rose Bowl every other year to offset the loss of the LA schools and keep a presence in LA for recruiting. Seeing that Kliavkov has seemed to miss out on the Texas sweep I'd vote to keep it at ten until the B10 calls and then GTFO.

    interesting thought

    I think Vegas wanted to do a kickoff classic type showdown, but LA would work for the Pac-12, too.

    Would also help with UW's noncon scheduling issues

    I’m sure there are some wimpy SMU people that have accepted their lot in life …

    I’d be shocked if any of those thoughts crossed the minds of those fond of the Pony Express days and believe that SMU can and should be a national brand

    I like the idea of staying at 10 and playing a handful of games at SoFi every year. One kickoff OOC game and another OOC game every year and maybe a rotation of a couple conference games a year. Means 6 PAC teams per year are in LA

    Big difference between quietly telling the people who are watching the game around you that you'll pull for the rivals and going all out with flags and whatnot. I'll root for Coog at times, but I'll usually laugh when they choke.

    Fuck playing games at SoFi. Play games at the fucking Rose Bowl.
    I just wonder how that would work with UCLA having a contract there

    UCLA's fans want to play at SoFi anyways because it's a closer drive to their campus.

    You need context for this? The names on the left are the football teams and the numbers on the right are the average home attendance for 2022
    There is absolutely no way ucla averaged 41k last year. Maybe 41k “sold”. No way 41k in attendance

    Given that OSUs capacity in 2022 was 26,407 I’d say your poorly sourced and cited stats suck ass.
