Because we would have to paint the seats to have it work.

You would have to put it in the tickets to get it to work. And I think it would be smarter to try at Moody first.

Agreed - Moody would be a better option for us.

FWIW - this appears to be a growing trend among various P5 teams who can manage to mostly fill their stadium week to week - have seen it at Arkansas, Michigan, Iowa, to name just a few...
Don't worry. Be Happy. Or not.

Michigan might have trouble with that for the rest of the year.

We could ask A&M or TCU or Baylor fans to do it when they come in and take over our campus and home stadium.

Always nice to be embarrassed on national TV by the fans of those other teams that SMU fans 'care about'. :roll:

Disney orchestrated. TCU did the short bus version: purple on one side, white on the other.

in SMU tradition-we paid someone to do it for us by painting half the empty seats Red and half the empty seats Blue

It would be more unique if we could encourage everyone in Ford to take off their shirts. I'm sure that the COC and President Turner would be up for that.

This thread is great!

Would it be inappropriate to call it gold?

We did this once before. If you fill in the missing people with your imagination it is really impressive.
