DMN stories

Kudos to the Morning News for the two stories in today's paper. Damn good story about what SMU needs to do next, and a secondary story about former AD Russ Potts' thoughts on how to increase attendance. Be sure to go to the <A HREF="http://www.PonyFans.com" TARGET=_blank>www.PonyFans.com</A> home page and read both stories. Nice job by DMN writer (and SMU grad/season ticket holder) Keith Whitmire.

Agreed. Both were good reading. Maybe a wake-up call to the SMU administration. Yes, good to see the stuff from Keith, who was a classmate of mine.

Go Ponies!

I wholeheartedly concur. Thanks PonyFans for posting these great articles! Very interesting to learn the history of Mustang Mania. Let's learn a lesson and fill some seats!

Ought to have a pep rallies for Dallas at large Friday nights and give away free tickets to the most vocal Mustang supporters.

As a marketing professional, I know we could squish that "Home Team" TCU crap simply by positioning it as a Ft. Worth vs. Dallas thing. No self-respecting Dallasite would be cought dead in purple. And besides, there are many more us us than them!

It was very nice to open up the paper and see a few great pictures of SMU. (It was good to see Riddle still working out even with an injured knee - Godspeed my friend!)
The mustang mania excerpt was all new info to me, not having much of an SMU past. I agree with Potts, a free seat is much better than an empty seat, in terms of creating a real game atmosphere. And, if the team does its part and wins a few more games, some of those freeloaders should come back with paid admission. I'm sure the food vendors wouldn't mind either way.

Pretend we're a movie theater and acknowledge that no profit is made on movie tickets, so let the suckers sneak in! We'll get our money on 5 dollar pizza slices and 4 dollar hot chocolate... wait, i forget, Ford doesn't sell hot chocolate.
