Mustang Corral-for those that obviously failed to learn their SMU Traditions. skip to 7:15 to see the No. 1 SMU Tradition.

Thanks, I enjoyed watching it.
However, for a university almost 100 years old, 6 of these 10 traditions didn't exist when I was in school and I believe four have come into existance only in the last ten years, when my four children went through. As an alumn I was asked to wear the robes and particpate in at least eight "walkthroughs"--I was told that this was a "new" traditon. I believe President Turner was responsible for trying to create or formalize some of these--the ring ceremony, the Dallas Hall walkthrough(s) first day and at graduation, ceremony of lights and the BLVD--the BLVD. obviously (instead we had kegs on buses going to the cotton bowl, a number of our pledges never made it off the bus), do you remember which existed when you were in school?
I think it is great that we have formalized some of these.

Nice content, I suppose. High school actors could read the cue cards better, all the phrasing was awkward

Problem with Mustang Corral is they teach all the traditions wrong including the wrong words to Pony Battle Cry

which I don't inherently have a problem with, it's just that they tell people that its as old as Varsity
