We pack our house for TCU.

We have to build the same excitement in the student body for the rest of the games.
I have noticed that whenever we play TCU at home, we go CLUTCH in our marketing efforts for that game. Everyone in Dallas knows we are playing TCU because we go all out. We put flyers everywhere, every store , restaurant, bar etc. knows we are playing. We put ads on the highway. We put banners and yard signs everywhere. Can we build the same enthusiasm for every single game? Maybe promote each game as one step in getting that perfect season and that we need every soul to be in the game? We can do it. We pack our house vs. TCU. We can get those fans to love the game, every game!

Thanks for your derailing attempt.

It is called: "DO YOU WANT SMU TO BE A RESPECTED AND RANKED PROGRAM NATIONWIDE LIKE OUR RIVAL TCU HAS DONE" or "DO YOU WANT SMU TO JUST BE ANOTHER FCS LEVEL FBS TEAM (GROUP OF 5)"

I have made my choice buddy.

Oh, and your strategy hasn't worked. So please contribute before you criticize with your loser negative attitude.

This is a weird thread and came from someone who has one drink too many.

Can I just discard SMU football as mediocre and use you, East Coast Mustang, Blackout Pony and others as references to what a loser program we are?

Thank you all for wanting to settle for mediocrity. SMU knows who you all are. SMU deserves June Jones because of this attitude, and you will all keep bitshen about his coaching style and his attitude.

I hate you blackoutpony. I hate your anonymous self. I still have the feeling that you and I will get along pretty well in person though, but that doesn't change the fact that we will hate each other in this anonymous community of frustrated loser pony people.

WE JUST WENT 5-7! WHAT THE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Can we really just rally and try to make SMU a big 12 program on our end (fan side)

You are one of the first to beathc about attendance...I want us to start a movement to build excitement and pack our house.

I had to look at his registration date to make heads or tails out of this thread. It makes sense now.

Dude, all the promo in the world will not make people care to show up.

Good opponents with traveling fan bases and winning BIG will help.

Until SMU winning Big is a factor, then any positive effects from promotion and marketing will be negligible. It can work here and there from time to time,(see the SFA home opener a few years back), but winning big has to happen before any follow through attendance success occurs.

You really do need to explore SMU history more, most of us here on PonyFans have seen it all with SMU.

FTHP seems to be taking June's side and blaming the fans for the poor recruiting and performance. When it is the head coach that is putting down the SMU program.

SMU should graduate Presidents, billionaires and Supreme Court justices like Harvard, Yale and Stanford. SMU's supporters should donate 10 Billion dollars so we can compete with those schools. SMU alumni are rich. We can afford it. The rest of you who disagree with me are just not committed and don't want to be like Harvard, Yale and Stanford like I do. We will never compete with Yale, Harvard and Stanford if you people don't donate 10 Billion Dollars. I'm tired of not competing with Yale, Harvard and Stanford.

I'm not taking June's side. I want to start the conversation on looking for ways to build excitement for our program that translates to higher attendance.
