I can promise you that my 4 wheel drive Chevy Silverado pickup would get in and out of your neighborhood if I was driving.

What? No, the damn city was shut down. Game arguably should have been canceled.

It would have been cancelled if it weren't the last week of the season.

Ok, maybe I'm being harsh here but if SMU or any other AAC teams going forward--including my ECU Pirates--no show the Military Bowl or other cold weather bowls, do you think the bowl committees will cut the league a break and say, "lets keep inviting team______from the AAC. True they no showed our bowl because the weather was bad, but they had a good excuse and we should over look it and keep on inviting them" Does ANYONE see where I'm coming from?

No. It's not a question of "cold weather." There was NO WAY to get to the game for many of us. ROADS ARE CLOSED. LIGHT RAIL IS SHUT DOWN. I cannot spell it out any more for you. This was the winter equivalent of playing a game the day after a hurricane goes through a city.

Dude, I watched a 4 wheel drive F250 Super Duty spin out on the hill by my house.

I'm sure it's cold in Indianapolis. I wonder why they didn't cancel the Big 10 title game? It looks like there are more than 500 people there too.

1. No ice storm there.
2. If there were an ice storm, they would have salted the roads and plowed the roads. That doesn't happen here.

There's a quarter of a million electric customers that haven't had electricity for over 24 hours now. This city is in bad shape right now.

If you take that 250,000 electric customers number, assume that 80% (200,000) are residential, and then assume an average household size of 3, that's 600,000 people (10% of the metro area) without power right now.

A game in which SMU has a shot at beating a ranked bcs bound team and going to a bowl if they win? Please tell me I heard wrong.

City of Dallas is largely closed. Roads, schools, power out for several hundred thousand.

SMU had attendance issues in the first place, tack on sitting on cold bleachers in 20 degree weather when you could watch it on tv and the answer is obvious. No one should blame a small private school for this issue.

A small private school in Texas--the land of the 4 wheel drive truck first off. Secondly, "this small private school in Texas" has a whole boat load of money, money that could be spent deicing the stands, plowing the roads near the stadium etc. You made some good points at first, but don't give me that poor little SMU talk as if they're totally helpless.

There's not enough road salt in the state of Texas to make the roads passable up here right now.

I think we did well getting more than 300 people there, tbh

Under a thousand people at a D1 football game and you think that you did well? That's probably one of the lowest attended college football games OF ALL TIME.

Are you in Dallas? No? Then STFU. UH had only a few thousand for the Memphis game and the city didn't have a major ice storm for that one.
