A bunch of morons, apparently.

Everyone of those teams are pursuing fans discretionary dollar. The best campaign that I can remember was the Juneth Cometh campaign. The creative and the messaging got many people excited about SMU football. I remember a lot of my dad's friends who have no SMU ties talking about buying tix that year because of the billboards on 75. The last couple of campaigns Dallas' Team and Game Day were just pretty subpar messaging wise as well as the creative. If I'm not mistaken, The Richards Group was behind the June Cometh Pony Up campaign. I do not know who was behind the others.

UNT is doing a better job marketing as well.
And that is not even talking about BU, Texas Tech, OU, Aggy and Bevo marketing in the city...

Do a search on the boards. They are the only two to use "arse" so there's one more thing. I myself don't mind the guy.

There are serious endemic problems in this football program. BTW I predicted SMU exact record in the preseason last year in the preseason and then proceeded to pick all 12 games correctly. I'm a realist-and we are in worse condition next year than we were last year

I guess you predicted the Gilbert injury. You know your prediction benefitted. We beat UCF even if Burcham stays in the game. We destroy them with Gilbert.

As I've have said many times-this is a problem that started on DAY ONE of the June Jones coaching regime-who he hired, their areas of experience, their ages and their background and lack of any Texas experience- that was somewhat hidden by Klemm and to a lesser extent Jeff Reinbold who despite being a strange man looking for love in Louisiana actually did some recruiting.

Well, the simple fact of the matter is that we aren't as good in many aspects of the college football lifestyle. I could comment more on this, but we all know various things wrong with the program.
Huh?
Enlighten us.
First of all, I believe that you can't change things that you can't control. Secondly, a few things that other "elite" schools have that we do not...I think it's pretty self explanatory. Just look around. Go see who is standing on Alabama's sidelines or look at Oklahoma St.'s facilities or Penn St.'s fans. The first thing that I notice is the fact that the fans never sit down. Or, at least they didn't in the games I've been to. That is something that I CAN CONTROL, so that is one way I can try to help our players on the field. You named one 'NEGATIVE' when you said coach Jones wasn't getting it done. But, seeing how you and I are not going to be the ones to change that, we HAVE to support who we do have or we've already lost. - "My responsibility is leadership, and the minute I get negative, that is going to have a negative influence on my team." - Don Shula
