The June Jones era and the 2008 football season kick off with an ESPN-televised Conference USA showdown at Rice on Friday, Aug. 29, it was announced today.

Following the Friday night opener in Houston, SMU returns home for Jones' Ford Stadium debut on Sept. 6 as the Mustangs host Texas State. On Sept. 13, SMU travels west to Lubbock to take on Big 12 foe Texas Tech.

Gates to the fairground (in West, Texas, south on I-35 just beyond Hillsboro) open at 5:30 p.m., and you can hang out touring the food booths until the 12:30 a.m. closing. If there was ever a place to do your "wurst," this is it. And don't forget kolaches for dessert. More info
