I am proud to be a new pony!

I am a new graduate student at SMU. I live in Cowtown, and have had to suffer through the homer frog fans for many years. I attended the SMU-TCU game and the highlight of the game is when I noticed the field had been painted green between the 35 yard lines. I thought it was odd but couldn't tell why because the TCU band was on the field. Once the band moved to the stands I could see that Pony-Up was burned into the field. I loved it!
I also attended the SMU-UCF game and loved the experience, but could not believe the lack of support for the football program.
I also attended the SMU-TCU basketball game very exciting!
Since SMU doesn't have a baseball team I will be pulling for Dallas Baptist to defeat TCU.
I went to school with Turner Gill, and he has been my choice from the beginning, but I can see the upside to either Jones or Fran.
Keep the Faith!

Go Ponies!

Remember - drinking while on ponyfans is NOT 'drinking alone'.

Welcome! Glad to see other FW folks resisting the dark side that is TCU. We were all much happier people this morning. Sorry you missed us at our most optimistic. :cry:

I assume that means you went to high school at Arlington Heights. Mrs. H-E-B and I are Heights graduates and Fort Worth refugees. Welcome aboard. Hopefully you have a thick skin and a lot of patience. You'll need it as a new pony.

Keep your expectations low and you better have a good sense of humor.

What years? Not a Heights grad, but I knew a bunch of people there and one of my brothers graduated from there.

I attended Stripling Middle and then Heights until my sophomore year. I graduated from another FW High School in 1980.
