Have tickets been mailed? Any idea when bowl t-shirts and caps are available at the SMU Bookstore? Peruna is taking his buddy to the Hawai'i Bowl on Christmas Eve.

He had to wear it for the picture. His grandmother gave it to him.

went to the bookstore this morning...now they say they'll have them by Saturday.

They were also having a discussion amongst a couple of workers about a backlog of online orders.

yeah, but the main crux of the conversation seemed to be several people who complained that they ordered one color or another and got a different one.

I'm still waiting for a shirt that was on backorder which I ordered online before I moved back to Dallas....in 2007 :)

I'm sorry, but this is freakin' incompetent.

Still no bowl gear? Wait until Saturday?

Most high school booster clubs can turn around T-shirts in a day or two. It's been 10 days since we were officially extended an invitation, even longer since we actually knew we were going to the Hawaii Bowl.

SMU's disorganization never fails to disappoint.

you're right. I know it's not in SMU's budget to gamble, but I've been to conference championship games where as soon as the clock is all zeroes, there is a mass of people at tables set up around the concourse selling conference champs shirts with their school on it.

I went by late yesterday afternoon (Wednesday)and the guy I talked to said they were expecting them yesterday but there was a problem with some of the colors and the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl folks had rejected it. He said they were correcting the problem and that they should be there by the weekend. I agree though...not timely enough.
