In the 8 year's I've been here, I think i've seen 1 person wearing an SMU shirt and one guy approached me in the gym when I was wearing mine and told me he was an alum. I've seen maybe 2 alumni car stickers.
Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 2:55 pmFunny you should mention this.
I've been here since '94 & have yet to get any invitations or whatever regarding events scheduled for LA by SMU or the alumni org.

Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 7:38 pmI think I've gotten maybe a couple things inviting me to a Meadows lecture or an Engineering School fundraising campaign of some sort, but never any kind of social event. Think there used to be an LA area Alumni Assoc too, but I don't think it exists any more.

I think it moved to St. Louis with the Rams.

Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 9:08 pmI remeber when we played UCLA there were quite a few SMU fans in attendance at the the rose bowl that afternoon ( I'm thinking 94 or 95)
I was thinking of going over to barney's Beanery but I had to take the kid trick or treating.
I thought it was ironic, on my drive into work I saw a couple walking a dog on PCH in Hermosa and the guy was sporting an SMU sweatshirt on Game day no less!!!!!
Go stangs get to a bowl, I'm going!

I hope it wasn't the 42-0 woodshed whooping administered by the Bulldogs
Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2006 1:47 pmIn the late 90s, early 00s the So Cal Alumni Association was alive and well. We would often meet for happy hour in the Hollywood/BH area. I went with the group to a Stars/Kings game at Staples in 00 or 01. There was a nice turnout for that.
