We need 50 ponyfans to buck up $100 to get this done - - a number of us have already committed. He guarantees greatness. Join the party.

So if ponyfans wanted to donate what do you think final tally would be around?

Just curious

Thad Response:
I could make grandma's weep and big state school fans jealous for 15K. Probably could even do it for 10. Music would be an issue, probably want to add another 10K to commission some original music.

I mean even for 5K in total I could bang out something that looked like it cost 50K.

This needs to happen. Start with some sweet clips of SMU with Doak Walker, Forest Gregg, Eric Dickerson, Winning Championships etc. And then pump it up. Thad you could make this awesome.

That would be amazing. That little intro video they've been tossing before the games this past season is incredibly underwhelming.


Yeah, I can see it now... you start with overly dramatic "Rudy"/war movie music with the old stuff... and then crank it up to rap song. Like the opening of The U, but not as cheesy... and not as offensive.... just big plays, what not.

While rap isn't my favorite genre (I don't have one... in fact I am just as likely to be jamming to NWA as I am to pumpin' Beethoven as you see me pull up to campus) and I know all the blue hairs on here might flip out over something like a rap song (I remember all the "Nuck if you Buck" complaints - which was silly, you look down and you see our team getting jacked up to play, well as a fan that *should* get you jacked up about the game)... this is, like everything else, all about recruiting.

Give the kids what they want. It's all about winning....


Thad,
If the school is willing to support this, I will "Pony Up" $300. This could really be awesome.
Any chance the donors might be able to get a copy?

Steve-O says approval has to go through the athletic marketing department ... :roll:

Besides, Thad, can you get your old crew together in time to put this together before the season starts?
