I wonder what's going to happen with all the OOC games cancelled this season? Not just with us, across the sport. This awful tread of scheduling 15 years out will make it a lot harder to reschedule make-ups. On the other hand, all the shifting and last minute schedule re-arraigning this year sort of belies the myth that schedules can't be worked out with a little less notice.
UTSA game time moved to 7pm - will air on ESPNU
I know I’m jumping the gun by almost a year, but now that I’m seeing the ‘Event Horizon’ (a theoretical boundary around a black hole beyond which no light or other radiation can escape.... or that Holtz can rectify). I’m wondering what kind of humongous beatdown embarrassment Dykes has in store for the fanbase that he thinks failed him by giving up and leaving early in the Texas A&M game. Not only did he stick it to us that year by seeing to it that we faulted in going to a bowl game, but then we beat him in his first game at SMU. True enough that it wasn’t really his team that day, but he was there on the sideline to feel it and now under Holtz’s imploding program we’re going to suffer the consequences next September.
To be fair, that game started at 8pm. It was 39-16 Aggies at the half and probably 10pm. I know most of my crew left (my boys were 5 & 3 at the time). The game didn't end until 12:45 am.
Those of us who stayed were treated to an epic classic! It was after 2am when we got home that night, and worth it.
As for what Dykes thinks of Tech...nah! He did what he thought was best for his career, and family, and we all knew he was using us as a stepping stone. I don't believe he harbors any personal angst against Tech...heck! if anything, if he has an ounce of humility, he should have a measure of guilt. That promising season collapsed at the end and he played a role in that.

Hard to predict what a team will look like a year out. We should be better next year. I think SMU won't be as good next year. I think there is a very good chance their QB goes pro after this season. So they will either start an inexperienced guy or perhaps a transfer. Also Sonny got more out of his relationship with Tech, than Tech got out of the relationship. He shouldn't have that many hurt feelings from his time here.
