Wrong jersey...that's Doak's number. You mean 17.


I wasn't talking about a jersey. I was giving my attendance guess.
I like your optimism, but Ford only holds 32k. Even with seating on the grass we couldn't manage 37k. Maybe some day when the south endzone area is filled in we can dream of 37.


I didn't type a k. I meant 37, as in 1 less than 38.

Man, this is difficult.
Obviously I over estimated your optimism...my bad. So...eat dirt scumbag. 8)
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

I obviously was making a joke. I think more than 37 will be there. My tailgate alone will be most of that. It was more of a comment on all of the overall attendance and student attendance talk that has been going on. I have never understood the lack of support from the student body. I started SMU in '91 and can count on one hand the number of games I have missed.

BTW, estimating 37,000 for this game wouldn't be optimism. It would be a severe disconnect with reality. It would also be nice to see the Stars go undefeated for the rest of the season, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm guessing 3,000 Coogs. It seems a bit lower than the last visit. Supposedly, we just sold out our allotment but don't know how many were sent over. 1,000?

Overall total will be close to the SWT game + 1,000 for FCA and Dandy Don devotees. How much pub is Dandy Don's number retiring getting? My dad in Lufkin knew about it, so it seems to be getting some attention.

My bro is flying in from Vandy for fall break. He's excited about the game. I just hope I don't get embarrassed. =/
