Re: Basketball Ticket Renewals

Just got off the phone with a rep. He said 95% of seats renewed, donations went from $3.5mil in 2014 to $5 mil this year, that all of the seat upgrades were pretty much at the $5000 donation level.

Bummer, but I am glad to see continued support for the program.

It's great for the program. I was ...

Re: Anybody going to the reseat discussion Dec. 11?

Anyone who bought season tickets this year for the first time already paid the new donation levels. They had to turn people away for the Hall of Fame Club at $2500/seat + the price of the tickets.

Re: Request For Mustang Club Q & A w/ Hart and RGT

I'm one of the 1,700 people who actually care. I think that makes me a pretty high priority honestly.

Rick Hart seems far more accessible than most AD's - especially in terms of social media and email. His blogs are as transparent as you can reasonably expect him to be. The truth is SMU is a ...

Re: Commitment

The university's commitment isn't just based on salary. SMU and the athletic dept continue to invest in tutors and specialists, make adjustments to admissions, etc.

A new coach will want to know more than just salary - he'll want to know if he can get difference makers into school and help them ...

Re: Can't wait for BB to start--picked to finish 7th!

Well this was disappointing. Doug Feinberg, the AP basketball writer just wrote an article in which he picked Connecticut to win the American Conference basketball race. The Ponies, under Coach Brown, are picked to finish 7th! I thought the beginning of the BB season was going to bring us relief ...

Re: UCF Game Sold Out

I agree that the 200 level seats and non-donor areas will see the biggest increase, but the best value in the premium sections has to be floor right now. I'd be surprised if those didn't go up significantly as there are only 70 or 80 (?) seats on the court.

Re: What is the real game experience like at Moody?

I've been to Cameron, Dean Dome, Rupp and others - Saturday was as good as any of those venues. We have to make it so consistently, but when KF hit the three before the half and in the second half when we pushed the lead back to 20, the roof was coming off. As long as the students continue to buy in ...
