Re: Smu Football: Staying Positive
TCU destroys us not only on the field but in their Football marketing as well...sadly. Their website and twitter are flawless, while ours appear to be run by a bunch of high schoolers (no offense to high school kids) 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...
Re: Smu Football: Staying PositiveBig12/FTHP- always talking up TCU at our expense. So eerily similar to each other

Re: Smu Football: Staying Positive
We haven't yet recovered from Orsini firing basically our entire marketing staff. And due to minimal budgets, we have a couple of really good, seasoned professionals on the staff and a bunch of interns. So that combined with small advertising budgets, is why we look a bit bush league. Personally, I'm actually fairly impressed with the recent marketing efforts given what they have to work with. The lights around town, Times Square, etc. have been great. And as for the positive attitude and crowd support, I don't think you have to look any further than our BB team's home record to understand the importance. We were a couple of fouls away from potentially being undefeated at home this year –- AMAZING! "It's a couple hundred million dollars. I'm not losing sleep over it." -- David Miller

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. Leader of the Band-itos.

Re: Smu Football: Staying PositiveCheerleading Camp starts at 7:30
Pom Pom Squad at 8 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 "With a quarter of a tank of gas, we can get everything we need right here in DFW." -SMU Head Coach Chad Morris

Re: Smu Football: Staying Positive
Purely circumstantial evidence. If you have noticed, you cannot say the pure version of "arse" "as-s" in this forum without it being blocked. Example: [deleted]

Re: Smu Football: Staying Positive
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.

Don't forget that we win at Cincy if the refs don't make a bizarre incorrect call. You predicted what every expert predicted. Not saying recruiting is going well but unless you start predicting injuries and snow storms I think you can can it with the Nostradamus schtick. There are reasons for optimism this year. And that perspective is just as valid as yours. EJ Holland is no longer there to give you your opinion so not sure what you'll do this year.
Re: Smu Football: Staying PositiveYeah right [deleted] I was the first SMU fan to note that SMU's coaching staff, recruiting coordination, emphasis and effort were ridiculous- a long time before E.J. even appeared as a correspondent for an SMU site. 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.

Re: Smu Football: Staying PositiveTo be fair, it's a bit easier to predict the record in the preseason after seeing four games than doing it before the season starts.

Then stop giving props to EJ because one way or another, plagiarism transpired.

Re: Smu Football: Staying Positive
I hear you. It's a bit of a chicken and egg thing. I get it. But all we have to look to as an example as to how to make it work here at SMU is the first Moody game (against UConn) though. That was a "big time" college lifestyle type thing (using your words a little bit here). The team hadn't really done anything yet, but it was rocking! Why? Because the coach embraced the community and brought in some talent and won some games and put in work in the recruiting dept and showed the community that he was going "all out" (sorry, I know I know . ..). And then of course SMU marketing got behind it . . . LB also kind of led "the Mob" efforts and "coached them up" . . . finally, of course, then we WON! (if we had gotten blown out like football always does against aTm, BU, etc, Moody would be empty). But this is the kind of stuff Jones could be doing, but doesn't . . . I can't really control that you are right. But that's part of what needs to be done to get to the type of atmosphere/lifestyle you are referencing I think. IMHO. All starts with the HC and how he approaches program building (staff, culture, etc etc). Last edited by ojaipony on Wed Apr 16, 2014 12:56 pm, edited 2 times in total.
