PonyFans.com is proud to announce the next edition of "PonyFans LIVE!".

The show — brought to you by every Mustang's favorite watering hole Lakewood's 1st & 10, Gameday Cloth and PonyFans.com — the oldest, largest and fastest-growing website dedicated to the SMU Mustangs and PonyFans everywhere — will resume at 6 p.m., Sept. 8 at Lakewood's 1st & 10 (on the northeast corner of Mockingbird and Abrams in Dallas).

The Ponies will be preparing for their home opener that weekend against UAB, and to get ready, PonyFans LIVE will feature two players who know a little something about playing quarterback in big games. Joining our host — award-winning sportswriter Steve [deleted] (a.k.a. PonyPride) — for the next show will be PonyFans LIVE's special guests: former SMU quarterbacks JERAD ROMO, who engineered one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of SMU sports against the Mustangs' next (home) opponent, UAB, and LANCE McILHENNY, a three-time All-SWC honoree who won more games (going 34-5-1 in his career) than any other quarterback in the history of the Southwest Conference and guided the vaunted Pony Express offense to the only undefeated record in the country in 1982, including a victory over Dan Marino-led Pitt in the Cotton Bowl.

McIlhenny and Romo will be on PonyFans LIVE to share stories about their playing careers at SMU, their impressions of SMU's season opener at Texas Tech, their impressions of Kyle Padron's first game of the year, what to expect in the UAB game ... anything quarterback-related, these guys know it. So get to Lakewood's 1st & 10, come here what they have to say, ask them questions and bring a pen for autographs.

PonyFans LIVE will be recorded for broadcast on YouTube.com the day after the show, but to hear the insights of the players and coaches we'll interview throughout the season LIVE, make sure you are in attendance at Lakewood's 1st & 10, which is located on the northeast corner of Mockingbird & Abrams (because you never know what these guys will say after the cameras turn off ).

Following most shows, we'll have an opportunity for fans to ask questions, shake hands and meet the coaches, former players and other Mustang luminaries. The first show was a huge success, so think of what you want to ask, grab your autograph book and be sure to join us each and every week for the only show in town dedicated solely to SMU athletics: PonyFans LIVE!

NEXT SHOW
Date: Wednesday, Sept. 8
Time: 6 p.m.
Location: Lakewood's 1st & 10

Damn guys...you are getting really good at getting us the best folks to interview! I'm looking forward to this one for sure.

Hope we pack 1st & 10 wall to wall for this occasion.

Go Mustangs.

Seriously — you guys aren't fooling around when it comes to these shows.
I'll be there, and will try to bring a couple of others.
Great stuff. Looking forward to it!

in addition to your autograph book, you may want to bring a camera. we have Lance's Sun Bowl jersey framed on the wall. would make for a cool backdrop for a photo if he's agreeable to it.

Great set of guest. Should be very interesting.

this is awesome, I'll def try to be there.

Hoping to make this one.

Wish I lived in Dallas on Mondays.

Have y'all thought of recording it for those of us who can't be there? Wish I could be there. Would love to hear a podcast of the show.

If they tell you something said outside the walls of the lunch, they have to kill you.

But then again maybe they could get Franchione to sell a transcript and make some money.

Hey web guys...I was honored to sit at the Ponyfans.com table for the TTech game at 1st & 10 but unfortunately I can't make it Wednesday. I still have the original "last-3-seconds" of the 2005 SMU-UAB game which I will send if you don't have a copy. With Romo as your guest what could be better to play it again....LOUD! I'll even edit out the dead spot. Let me know if you want it. My ears are still ringing from Sunday.

My last post was mistakenly thinking thiswas in reference to the luncheons. These sessions are posted to YouTube after they take place. You should be able to find the past ones and I am sure this next one will be posted also.

Thanks - I will find it. Will also keep the luncheon stuff on the QT - don't want McNight to break my knee caps.

Considering Padron's slow start, fast(er) finish, the hostile crowd in Lubbock, etc., I'll be interested to hear what McIlhenny and Romo have to say Wednesday.
