How many years away are we from having great fan support at every game?

[GiddyUp]

If you said 11 years, you were incorrect

Weak sauce 94, very weak

'94 said about 11 years. I disagree. It's more like 24 years,(1987).

So many zombie threads as of late. They're almost as bad as the multiple thread issue we're having :p

I think, and I may be mistaken, that<B>GREAT</B> fans support will not come until we start putting together some winning seasons. I think we could achieve good fan support doing how we have been doing, but I think for us to reach a level of <B>GREAT</B> fan support, we must win at least 7 games a season on a regular occasion. I tell you what, all the cards are in our hand right now. With the new Ford Stadium, excitement is higher for SMU football than it has been since the death penalty. If we were to win 8 games this year (it is very possible), and go to a bowl game, I dont think people would believe the fans support we would start to get. Granted, it would not be like any of the state schools, but they are so very much bigger.

So is the post you have quoted.

Dutch is being a [deleted]. I mistakenly bumped a thread that upset someone

[PerunaPunch]

Just remember... When, and I say "when" we get back on top, let's not take it for granted this time.

[hint]

Although I think we will get a hint of fan support in the coming year, I think we will still have to wait three to four years to get great fan support at every game. I think the support will lag the Top 25 ranking by a year, so give it 3-4.
I do think the new stadium and its size will definitely lead to some huge improvements and will be a welcome change from the Cotton Bowl. Maybe people won't be so afraid to cheer and hopefully it will be packed and people won't be able to socialize.

11 years have passed, but I have finally arrived.
