Re: Galloway asks whre are the SMU fans?

I'm afraid that if we don't start showing better attendance we become unattractive to any major conference come realignment time.

Re: Ticket Office

Without Bethany's help, I don't think I would still have season tickets.

Re: Notes from Saturday's season-opening practice

Wow..thanks for the update as I missed going out there today....good news on Thompson as he is such a beast with a huge heart. Wish Evan had a change of heart as we could use some depth at NG.

I know Banjo is a great leader, but Thompson really leads by example and he always seems to leave it ...

Re: NCAA Releases Head Coach APR Portfolio

you can plug in any coach you want and get a full report. Looks like Mack Brown APR score even after recruiting all those "thugs" has outperformed June Jones in 5 out of 6 years. Jones at Hawaii had 3 straight seasons well well well below the minimum 925 APR which is the level which commences ...

Re: Commit Cameron Smith free Scout info

Really, even a guy buried in a losing program?


Got to agree with Stallion here. With the advent of digital film and the networking of coaches even an athlete mired in a losing program does not go unnoticed. If there is anyone that might slip by some recruiters it's that kid in smaller schools A ...

Re: The Politics of Realignment/Panic in Waco

Would it have been wrong of me to have taken the time to watch this train wreck. Really would have been a lesson in economics and finance to see how the bears would have adjusted to no big XII money..no UT, atm or Oklahoma home games. Just think of the economic impact of no big conference to fund ...

Re: Stadium upgrade?


Maintenance
It is a myth that synthetic fields require less maintenance than natural turfgrass fields or to say that artificial turf fields are maintenance free. Synthetic fields require 1) additional infill, 2) irrigation because of unacceptably high temperatures on warm-sunny days, 3) chemical ...

Re: SMU Legacy QB

I know the whole story about what happened and if you think that the fanatic alumni are solely responsible for the last 20 years of dissapointments, you are mistaken. I have had two children recently go through the recruiting process and I myself, albeit years ago, experienced recruiting. Don't fool ...

Re: SMU Legacy QB

My first response was a joke too
My second response was responding to a direct inquiry
My third response is no I've never met June Jones or all but a handful of incidental contacts with current SMU players-I have no need to. In fact, I wished all SMU alumni jock sniffers and hanger-ons would stay ...

Re: Boulevard Ticket Packages?

Bus, I finally gave up waiting on anyone from the mustang club or ticket sales to contact me. I contacted Bethany Tiffin, manager of tickest sales. Bethany immediately took care of the ticket and parking purchases.
