It's been a while since I've seen my alma mater play. In fact, I'm not sure that I've been to a game since I graduated. And, now that I live far away from the campus, I expected it'd be a while longer. But, recently I found out that SMU would soon be in Pullman, on the other side of the state, to play the Washington State Cougars.

I like going to football games but didn't think I'd have another chance to see the Mustangs play for a while, so I'm glad this game is so close. Plus, Lesley and I have kind of wanted to go to eastern Washington but haven't really had a reason to yet, and doubt that we'd get a better one than this.

So, we've ordered our tickets through the SMU ticket office so that we can sit with the sure-to-be-small crowd of SMU supporters. And, while SMU has had some rough luck in football lately, WSU hasn't been doing so well either, so this is a very winnable game. I'm ordering a new SMU shirt for the occasion and am looking forward to the game.
