Pony Fans! Welcome East Carolina

[Traveler]

I am a player parent who has attended every away game for the past 4 plus years. In that time no where was I and the other SMU fans welcomed so warmly as we were last year at East Carolina University. The fans, officials, even the security personnel all went out of their way to welcome us to their campus and tell us how excited they were that we had made the trip from Dallas. One tailgate group even insisted that my 81 year old father come in and sit down while they found him a golf cart to get him to the stadium (during which time they also got him a scotch and soda!) When the game, which turned out to be more competitive than anyone might have predicted, was over; they thanked us for coming, complimented the team, and wished the team well in the face of our coaching challenges.

I've never posted on this, or any other board before, but I share this with the hope that the SMU family will join me in returning the hospitality to the ECU fans this weekend. Let's show them the hospitality of the Boulevard. PonyUP!

Excellent post and I could not agree more.

The last time ECU was at Ford, their fans were some of the best I've met. Almost an Andy Griffith-like down-home quality to them. I am happy they will be here again and hope we all show them a good time at the blvd and game (besides the outcome).

Love the ECU crew, hope they bring a good crowd tomorrow. They are always fun to chat with and share a cup of beer.
