"Misery Loves Company"

Anybody else seen the insert in this year's football programs from the Dallas Opera with that slogan? I think this gives a better reflection of the 2007 football season instead of "Pony Up!"

and then today, I get an email from the SMU athletic department about this weekend's Homecoming festivities with this on it!:

The Dallas Opera presents its 51st Season - Death by Diva! The season features the works of some of opera's favorite composers: Verdi, Lehar, Strauss, Gershwin and Puccini. The season has something for everyone. Reserve your S! eason Subscription today! Act now and SAVE 25% off your season subscription.

As jtstang says, you have to have a sense of humor to be an SMU fan these days! :lol:

I have always wanted to attend the Dallas Oprah. Or is it Opra. Oh well, guess someday I will come and see and spend lots of $. That day will come when I see scalpers out front of Ford Stadium.

As tragic as this season has been, I think it is all together fitting and proper to have the Dallas Opera as a sponser. All that's missing is for Bennett to throw himself off the top of the pressbox as the final gun sounds. SMU just needs to keep repeating "All'alba vincerò! vincerò, vincerò!"

PB would look pretty cool in one of those opera hats with the horns coming out the side. PAMR?

The opera is a nice nap and so are SMU football games.
