Maybe Rich Phillips can work on the lawn and make it better.

I too would enjoy greener grass to spill my beer on.

TAKE THE TREES OUT in the Bishop median :!:

They were planted during my first year at SMU, and my first friend in the freshman dorm Morrison
actually broke one of them by accident.

Anyway they grew up to take out a TRULY MAGNIFICENT VIEW of Dallas Hall from
Mockingbird that I think our founders wanted :!:

That would screw up our "tree-lined campus" promos

If they trimmed the canopies of the tree's up...the grass area would get more sun and the grass would grow much better. #greenthumb

Grass doesn't grow under heavily shaded areas :!:

You wanna pay for sprinkler systems, and
major league arborist control of the trees for grass to grow :?:

I say nuke them for the view of Dallas Hall as our founders wanted :!:

BTW my trip to the SMU Bookstore resulted in an SMU hat I can wear proudly.

Those trees are worth $1,000 per caliper inch...to nuke them would be many, many hundreds of thousands of dollars in DAMAGES, not improvements. And SMU does have a landscaping budget.

Yes Scott I agree, we should keep the trees, but just do a better job with the grass. Professionals could get that grass in better shape with various varieties of grass. Yes the trees block the view of Dallas Hall, but they are pretty. Just wish it would have looked like this today. How could the grass look so good in the picture if the trees/shade was the only problem?

and they have been longer than any of us have been alive. You can't be that old Plano

They were planted in 60's/70's, no?
