SMU has hilarious scoreboard trivia mishap ahead of Miami matchup

Whoever is in charge of deciding what the pregame scoreboard trivia questions will be didn’t quite think this one through.
Ahead of SMU-Miami, the scoreboard at Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas showed a trivia challenge that posed the following question: What is the name of SMU’s football stadium?
For any diehard SMU fan, this is an easy answer. For most SMU fans, it probably didn’t take much thinking. That’s not the mishap though. No, the problem is that just above the scoreboard, in massive letters, it reads, “Gerald J. Ford Stadium.”

Hopefully for SMU fans, this trivia question isn’t a bad omen for the Mustang’s afternoon. No. 10 Miami comes to town needing to further prove itself as the top contender out of the ACC, while SMU — still technically alive for a Playoff berth — looks to improve their ACC record and score what would be its best win of the season.
There are some factors on SMU’s side Saturday afternoon. For starters, until today, Miami had yet to leave the Sunshine State. For another, Miami will be without standout receiver CJ Daniels, who was ruled out Saturday morning after being considered a game-time decision heading into Week 10.
Saturday’s game is set to kick off at Noon on ESPN.
