Re: The view from the temporary seats

According to Ticketmaster, lots of seats available still in these bleachers as well as the upper level endzone seats in all the sections at the north end of the stadium. Going to be a real shame if SMU priced the tickets higher than the market wanted to pay and we have 3-6,000 empty seats tomorrow ...

Re: An Independent Plug for "The Pony Trap"

I recently read David Blewett’s book about the Death Penalty against SMU Football, The Pony Trap. It is an interesting read, full of information about corruption at the NCAA, bias against SMU, and selective enforcement all interlaced with a very earnest personal story by Blewett. The most ...

Re: Nike Jerseys?

Not being a subscriber to Vogue, I'm ok with the jersey. I have a problem with how they were unveiled. You have to do a much, much better job than that.

This is SMU, what else would you expect.
How 'bout those ND leprechaun uniforms for the MIchigan game? You know things are not going well when ...

Re: Athletics Marketing

SMU owns a ton of land facing 75, I've never understood why that isn't utilized for some tasteful signage, eg, "game tonight", "SMU - A&M Saturday at 7", etc. Also banner over Mockingbird, etc. Even if it is only targeting the locals, it still ads to the big game experience. It needs to feel like a ...

I've never known anyone to change colognes when someone was talking. June would probably change the "Chanel", too, if he heard you talk. :lol:

Re: Bowl Trophy Wednesday at Moody?

Heritage Hall. Our group drove to Tuscaloosa Friday afternoon and visited the Bear Bryant museum on campus. Holy smokes! You talk about hardware. Thirteen national championships for UA (but only one Heisman for a Bryant player - John David Crow) The museum is very nice/educational. Outstanding ...

Re: 100th win for coach Jones

Congratulations. Has SMU ever had a coach who had 100 wins? An 8-WIN season is the launch pad for next year. We're gonna have to be better than ever to have an improved record with a tougher schedule. Bowl games are great for fans... I don't care where they are.

Re: One thing we can do to improve as a fanbase

This is an issue that drives me crazy. When you get to the airport, or are whereever, and see other SMU fans, smile and acknowledge them and act in a way that you're glad they're there.

I'm as much of a cranky antisocial curmudgeon as you'll come across,but its counterproductive to look at fellow ...

The Birmingham New reports that tonight's game between Memphis and UAB will have 8,500+ in attendance - Bartow Arena UAB. Said some fans camped out to be the first through the doors.

Kevin Sumlin is African American. The term AQ conference means "Automic Qualifing"

Re: SMU vs. Southern Methodist

I vote for SMU.

It's a lot quicker than saying "I sure hope Southern Mehodist University is victorious over the United States Naval Academy in this week's football matchup."

The second sounds mighty white of you.
I'm a fan of the "mighty white". In fact, I'm mighty white myself.

Re: SMU vs. Southern Methodist

Ok. Now that we've been in the news alot, we need to make a push to get news outlets (mainly ESPN) to refer to us as SMU, not Southern Methodist. I think TCU did something similar in the past. I have zero idea how to go about this.
Count me as a fan of "Southern Methodist" but I'll go for either ...
