Rivalry, if SMU keeps going on the rise, could make for a good DFW match up every year. And what better place to play then right in the middle of both teams
Prices are dirt cheap this year in comparison to Oregon state game. Similar to Tech/ Baylor
Even with the gawd awful prices we had last year, TCU still brought 39k or so fans last year.
$150 seats are now $75, $65 with season tickets
BYU will bring 2x what oregon state did. Minimum of 55k, possibly upwards of 65k even with the game being on ESPN2
Wasn't last years game on one of the ESPN channels too?

attendance for all collegiate games so far at jerryworld, notice anything?
attendance will def depend on records, 60k plus if both are undefeated, could be much lower if not
I thought so. not sure I went.
had to be, espn set it up
Everyone keeps saying how BYU has a huge fan base, yet the times we have had them in town, we have never had a sold out game. (or really even close)
Hope I am pleasantly surprised, but I do not see this as being a huge turn out of 60-70,000+. I went with what I think is the high side of closer to 50,000 because I think both teams could only have 0 or 1 losses.
I don't like the Ponies but if they beat the Aggies, I will wear red for a week!

This year is a Friday, still not a Saturday. I will have to wait until they show up to play TCU as opposed to OU. I am more of a do it as opposed to talk about it as to whether BYU fans will show up in force.2 of the 3 were on Thursday nights.
