New survey from athletic department.

I wished they had an area where I can add comments. However, I am surprised it had a referendum on Phil and Doh and whether we think they can lead us to the promised land.

That was a pretty good survey, nice questions, hopefully they will do something with it. I liked the question that asked where do you go to first for SMU news and, of course, I put ponyfans.com!

thought there were some good questions as well. i too put PONYFANS.COM

Wasn't that meant for students but anyways I put ponyfans

It is actually a slightly different survey that was sent to alums....I got that one too.

note the logo and colors.

I am impressed with the new athletic department regime. I don't think I ever had an opportunity to give input during Copeland's ten year stint.

Then I guess my Horseshoe level means nothing

I definitely put in PONYFANS.COM

I wonder if this is going to translate to anything. Hopefully they won't raise tickets to all athletics 600% too.

I didn't have any input on the price increase for my Boulevard parking spot.

I know this has been a bit of a shocker, but not only does Ole Miss charge an arm and a leg for a tailgate space, but the primo TCU spots up close to the stadium under the live oak trees is still much much higher than what SMU is now trying to charge for our primo spaces.

I have never had a spot on the Vard, but if you need to join forces with others to afford your old spaces, I might be inclined to chip in to help, for a piece of the action...and others might be also. I mean in the end, everyone kind of enjoys everyone else's space, so why not chip in to help and do it as a group?

I agree and would also be willing to chip in with others on a spot.

PK-
I agree that Boulevard spots should carry a premium and I know my group and I will suck it up and pay the cost. My big beef is the way this was handled. After that last survey was sent out, I was expecting an increase in price, but not this much of an increase.

Also, I feel like this penalizes those who have been part of the Boulevard since day one - those are the loyal folks who really helped make what the Boulevard has become.

Finally, let's not compare tailgating at Ole Miss (SEC football) to the Boulevard just yet - its apples and oranges. Also, once we have showed the sustained success that the Frogs have shown, I will have no problem paying more.
