SLC vs MNW

[Emerson1]

Who's going?

[KTA]

MEEEEEEEEEE

[DU_stud04]

not i says the juggernaut

[3afan]

i'll be there - taking DART from Garland down to the Mockingbird station, then walk to Ford

[JR2004]

I'm going! A man who coached at Sweetwater and West Orange many years ago went over to Southlake and got me and his son tickets to go to the game with him. Should be fun watching the game with him as he's quite a character.

[PHS Wildcats]

I bought tickets over a week ago from clashof champions.com and still haven't gotten them yet.

[Emerson1]

Are they reserved seats?

[99IHSMustang]

I will be watching it on TV for sure.

The seats are general admission as best I know. I believe that's what it says on my ticket.

[3afan]

[KTA]

My tickets got shipped last thursday so i'm ready. They should be here soon. Had to order an extra one yesterday.

[sweetwater07]

where is this game being played at???...i hope SLC kills them..that team is a bunch of thugs from what i've seen on YouTube

[Old Tiger]

That youtube video was made in 2003. A lot has changed and if you watch the whole movie instead of just the bad stuff it's really good. None of the coaches shown on the video are there anymore.

It is being played at SMU's field.

SMU. It would've been nice to see this game at Texas Stadium. They could've gotten at least 50k to show up for this game.

I doubt it since it's on TV, Miami will bring about 20 fans and it's not a playoff game.

They were fired over the summer.

They played two games at Texas Stadium during Zero Week on a Saturday. I don't know about the Garland-Allen game, but the HP-Waxahachie game had a pretty good crowd for an early season game.

In saying they could get 50k, I wasn't thinking that anyone from Miami would come. I think the uniqueness of the game will get folks to show up and it'd be nice for the kids from Miami to get to play a game at Texas Stadium. Saying you played at SMU 20 years from now just doesn't have the same feel to it.

not to mention the game is here in Texas... i'm sure the Miami fans aren't too happy about the traveling to get here...probably won't be too many of them...

will this be sold out????

Not likely since Miami won't bring anyone

[Old Tiger]

I talked to some Miami people and they said that MNW is an inner city school and the people who go there are very poor. He also said they are getting busses for those who can afford to make the trip.

He also said that the MNW band is making the trip too and that they are very enjoyable and upbeat.

that will be fun...i enjoy watching all black bands...so much more lively and fun to watch...Liberty Eylua last winter in Sweetwater was extremely fun to watch along with Mansfield Timberview

[Cameron Crazy]

I like all black bands also, they have more of a jive I could say. On the other hand, I do not think MNW will be able to outwit the Carroll D. The dragons offense will take care of itself. This should be a good game no matter what.

I really enjoy the black bands. I never have enjoyed the more traditional type bands that I grew up seeing. I know that no matter how bad things get for Madison during a game, at least the halftime show will be good. We're probably going to get blown out on the 22nd against Lincoln, but at least halftime will be entertaining. :)

I would be to if my stupid cable company offered ESPNU

[Matthew328]

There will be plenty of seats available for this one....I think 20k will show for this one max......

Here is why

There are several other good games Saturday (WF Rider-Stephenville is one for sure along with Plano East-Garland)

The game is on TV so many people who might normally go will stay home and watch it


Miami will bring 200-300 people max..so no visitor crowd...Ford Stadium holds over 30k so there will be plenty of seats......

[olddawggreen]

So, anyone interested in trying to have a 3adl meet & greet at this game? I've never been to this stadium, so I don't have a clue how it's set up, or where we could meet at half time. I'm just assuming that most of us will be sitting on the Texas side. Any suggestions?:)

[DDBooger]

will this game be on the radio? i don't have espnu :(

i'm game...set up a time and place

[olddawggreen]

Does anyone know anything about this stadium? I've never been there. Is there a good place where everyone could meet up at half time?:confused:

[KTA]

from yahoo maps it looks hard to get there from 30, any suggestions on a short cut?

[luvhoops34]

been there 3-4 times, always rode the train from garland cause there is absolutely nowhere to park - riding DART is highly recommended ... stadium itself is great, food not too bad ..... some good eateries around, mostly sandwich shops & the like, some within walking distance

[3afan]

as far as meeting at half time - section 215 (upper level, end zone) would work

http://graphics.fansonly.com/schools/smu/graphics/ford-stadium-chart.gif

[Stownhorse]

sounds good

[PHS Wildcats]

I'm cool with a meet and greet. Been there several times for high school games. Beautiful stadium. Parking is the wrost I've ever seen. I awalys end up parking in the plaza area up from the stadium. If possible, TAKE THE TRAIN!!!!!

I got my tickets today. The look pretty nice!!

Here's how MNW did this past weekend.

[PHS Wildcats]

All seat are general addmission. I would reccomend getting there very early.

[Emerson1]

We plan on getting there around 4:30, that should be plenty early enough.

[PHS Wildcats]

i was under the impression the stadium held like 50K....so i would assume there will be plenty of good seats......and me and Stownhorse plus some other friends will be going....take the train or just drive and park??

[PHS Wildcats]

It's closer to 30k

A view from the other side;

[KTA]

I hate people from out of state:D

[Old Tiger]

I want to see the pre-game and how they approach one another during it.

[KTA]

anybody know whos wearing what uni's? Is this a big enough game for SLC to break out the black pants?

[gold_33]

What time is this game and what channel?

doubt it - they only use those for playoffs - this game doesn't come near the importance of a playoff game

[sweetwater07]

someone from southlake on the other website said to expect around 20k to 25k......gets me worried they won't have enough seats or be sold out by the time i get there......what time would you recommend getting there??

[KTA]

this game doesn't come near the importance of a playoff game

Are you serious? The National Championship is on the line

Are you serious? The State playoffs where if you lose your season is over and no state championship isn't as important as just being ranked #1 and not getting anything for it?

[3afan]

Originally posted by KTA

trust me - ask any coach in the state and he'll tell you the state playoffs are far more important that this game ... its not even close

[KTA]

You gotta win ALL of your games to even have a chance of sniffing the national Championship...Including nondistrict, district, and playoffs. Im sure yall both agree with each other (considering yall both live in the same house).

Well most coachs dont ever have the opportunity to play in a game like this with so much at stake.

[olddawggreen]

It could be a super secret or something, but nothing has been said in practice this week about breaking out the black pants.

of course they are all important regarding the (mythical) NC .... but ask any coach in this situation and they'll tell you they'd rather lose to NW in week 2 in a non-district game than lose to XYZ in the regional final ..... thats all I'm saying. i believe in TX state titles are 100X more important than newspaper mythical NCs.

maybe, but to SLC this game is HUGE

[3afan]

[sweetwater07]

dang i'm pumped for this game.....had a friend order my tickets and as far as i know..they came today.....wooohoo
SLC!!!!!!
