Crowd was bigger than I expected. Wish it was in the twenties, but that will come. Pleasantly surprised by the number of students that did make it.

It was ok.....still bothers me that too many still hanging on Blvd after the game. I predicted 18K, so wasn't far off. Good spirit from the students that were there, but again frats and sororities need to be there....ALL of them.

I was glad to see there were still a good number of students at the END of the game.

when yo call for a "white out", you need to provide XL and XXL white tshirts people can wear over the top of all those colors I saw in the stands...and then we have then same group of fans who always coe disguised as red and blue bleacher seats

I BUS want to help change the short sighted NO RETURN policy. This is the first game in years that the yellow people at the gates aggressively confronted people as they walked out at half.

We have 70% of the consession stands closed, and for me... I want to get a head start on packing up my tailgate.

Here is the issue. Is the game day staff lazy? The hand held unit scans tickets in.... :wink: and out... and in again. Its a really simple program. So no one is using the same ticket to get in twice?

WE need to make SMU games client/customer friendly and build a larger base.

Anything that does not cost real money should be done to get people in the stadium. Heck, after halftime I would let people in free. Maybe they could find a concession stand open and by some re-warmed popcorn.

This post is over before I comment about the food & beverage contract at Ford. Lazy

I had an extra ticket and they were upset that I was coming back in after they saw me leave at the start of halftime....they kept saying 'you cant come back in...you can't come back in'.. I had a ticket that was not used. I told em to shove it--- my ticket was a new ticket...they were still yacking about me leaving and coming back in......

And, why was JJ wearing black? So he would stand out on the sidelines?

He ALWAYS does...so Kyle/QB can find him quickly after the play. You hadn't noticed before?.....

The "shove it" argument is the best: quick, to the point, definitive, everyone knows where they stand, no rebuttal, and is best delivered while holding a lemonade.

Funny.....a Pony78 or OTP lemonade?
I had totally blown the ticket people away as they were instructed to not allow fans back in when leaving at the half, but not explaining to them that IF they have a fresh ticket its ok...totally blew them away...it was kind of funny....but then maddening, how they could be so stupid.
