The former would confirm the latter.
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 brought a friend who had never attended before and said it was a joke to try to get a drink or food..and he said the PA announcer was awful. How hard is it to get the little things done right?

Hire the soccer announcer. I went to three games this weekend, and he does a great job. He doesn't sound like a carnival barker — he just gives the needed information and shuts up.

What the hell were they showing? Don't say the Rangers game, because you can bet they don't show our games out at Arlington.

Too late. Already said. Once that game was over, they switched back to the SMU feed.
Don't worry. Be Happy. Or not.

The whole game expierence once you are inside the stadium is pretty sad. Slow concession lines, concession stands not even open, PA annoucements over the referee explanation, field level camara angle of replays instead of wide angle from pressbox, stats at end of first quarter were wrong, then I do not recall seeing any stats posted the rest of the game. Entire game operation seems very amateurish.
GO MUSTANGS!
