new message from marketing!

[smupony94]

Got it. This just hit me at midnight. Our new campaign should have Gary Coleman walk out and give the ole "What ya talkin bout Willis?", then boom we run some highlights and have JWill say anything.

He'd come really cheap too...seen those cash call commercials?

He might come cheaper. From TMZ

80’s TV alum Gary Coleman got into a bitchfight with someone in public the other day and was given a citation by local police for disorderly conduct.

He got into a bitchfight….with a woman!

And this little incident happened in Utah, where Coleman now lives.

"Media guide cover praised: SMU media relations director Brad Sutton said he's getting plenty of props for the media guide cover featuring SMU's new "Pony Up" logo. The cover has the Mustangs' logo and a black arrow pointing up as the only images on a white background.

"It has built a buzz around the room today," Sutton said during the C-USA Media Days. "I've had two people say it's the best cover they've ever seen. It's simple, but it's the message we wanted to present."

SMU's cover sat in stark contrast to nine of the other schools' media guide covers featuring the usual assortment of action photos of their top players and coaches. Central Florida's cover shows their new helmet logo, and UTEP's shows a shadowed player standing with a pick ax against a dark background."

Brad should have been at the Allen Sports Association kickoff where people had no idea what the logo with arrow meant. I think I had to explain it to at least 30 confused people and then take crap from some of the other coaches about what a dumb idea that was. One guy even asked if my 9 year old designed it.

UTEP's shows a shadowed player standing with a pick ax against a dark background."

Appropriate and scary at the same time.

The Ultimate Spin. Notice it says 'two people'.

Good call East. After twenty years of death, I think we should change our mascot to the Crypt Keepers as well.

Here's the mascot!

I love the new campaign; how does one go about geting T shirts, I am planning on hosting an SMU game watching party for Labor Day in Southern california and I would love to get T-shirts to pass out?

It's my understanding that once the campaign is underway there will be stuff with the pony arrow on SMU's athletic store website.

True story: My twin 14-year old stepdaughters have been out-of-town for the past two weeks. They had not heard about the new SMU marketing scheme from me, their mother (an SMU grad) or anyone else. They're SMU fans (football & basketball). At dinner tonight I showed them the wallet football schedule with the Mustang and the arrow on it. I asked them "What is that?" and both of them - without hesitation or any prompting from either me or their mother - said, "Pony Up!" So...perhaps there is something to this marketing campaign...at least it will be understood by 14-year old girls.

As long as they still know what it means at 17.
