New gameday players walk to the stadium

bad for SMU.

I would submit that back to back 1-11 seasons was bad for SMU. The horse thing, to quote jt, has been and continues to be much ado about nothing.

Amen to that.

This "walk" thiing is a good idea but it needs to be from the flagpole to the stadium right down the middle of the 'vard.

I like that idea, and I think we should WWE it up...have well-wishers on the Vard hand JJ or better still McKnight a cold one...they take a swig, then toss it aside, Stone Cold Steve Austin style

Can someone explain exactly what they add to the overall scene of things? When your "Mascots" are as unnoticeable as these two are -- especially at the game as they just stood there and stood there and stood there -- I'm not seeing how this adds to the overall bit.

Back in the day...players used to go to chapel at Perkins Chapel and then walk the boulevard to Ford prior to the game. I think the band or a portion of the band played and marched in front of them to attract attention. People did cheer the players and walk along side of them. It's going to take a lot to get people off the boulevard and I'm not sure this is it.

They received a raucous welcome at the Navy game and the thousands of people who saw the Mustang Walk loved them [/varsityshop]

if we want to look bad-ass we definitely need some State Troopers following June Jones around. That's how we do it in the South.

Bingo. And they need to wear those hats. I love the postgame interviews with the troopers.

Notices CalallenStang has to lie to make his anti-Mustang agenda work again. Like Peruna was ever going anywhere.

They need to figure out how to get this thing on the boulevard - could be a good new tradition (as opposed to the horseys - not a good new tradition). howdy I and doody I - look dorky if you ask me - but that has been covered. If you do a stadium walk, do it where your fans are. The perkins to the stadium thing is a good idea.

The Bulldog run at Georgia is a good example - gets a ton of energy going before the game - and people actually follow them into the stadium - which we could use a little work on.

Student Senate resolution results:

32 - In favor of Peruna being ONLY mascot in Ford Stadium
3 - Against Peruna being ONLY mascot in Ford Stadium

Those Mustangs sure do have a lot of support.

My guess is they are getting the Mustangs used to the environment -- being at a football stadium on game day and around crowds before they have them walk down the esplanade, etc.

with the addition of a couple of cold adult beverages - it is possible the new cowboys and their equipmentless steeds would be roundly booed if they go down the boulevard.

and if our geldings get sick we can always borrow the OSU Cowboys geldings:

BTW, who are the guys riding the geldings? Do we pay them? Are they now or will they be in the future SMU students?
