So.. is Thad actually working on this.. or does he have to have the the money upfront?

Just curious?

While I'm being curious.. any video being used as a template to his design? Or is Thad''s creativity taking going solo?

Regardless, looking forward to the end product

Discussion is underway with the administration. Now that we are getting close, I need some feedback from Thad. I sent Thad a PM, but Thad, if you read this you have a PM from me to discuss.

We have not set up a paypal because we are working on a funding mechanism through the school.

RGV and Giddyup are also working on a project, which some of you mayy already know about. We are in touch as well so that we coordinate as much as possible to maximize the commitments and enthusiasm from ponyfans.

More details soon.

Thad and his guys did a nice job on the All Grit, No Quit show and Pony Excess, but how would this be used? To be shown inside the stadium?

I mean no disrespect to the film guys — you all do a great job — but wouldn't SMU be better served with money raised for billboards, TV/radio ads, etc., to reach those who aren't already parked in the seats at GJFord?

Thanks Treadway.

In addition, I have been in contact with the President of YouPlusMedia. I know most of you liked the TCU game and BLVD vids. He would like to do some stuff for SMU but needs $$. TCU/SMU vids were done pro bono.

I think you guys should know...when it comes to discretionary $ SMU has for marketing, that number is...a lot less than you think. And I know 'what [we] think' is pretty low. That's it. So we'd like to increase that. More to come.

What's less than nothing? (Not sure you can have a negative marketing budget, can you?)

How much you want to bet they'll plead poverty on this but still find a way to fly a lot of non-athletic department people to the bowl game, wherever it is?
