favorite non football moment at ford

[vielsiehorsepower]

Just tryjng to stir up aomw interesting conversqtiom before the spring game.

Mine was at the marshall game of 2010. I was 20 and I was in the line for nachos or something with some friends when I noticed that the girl at the concessions stand was incredibly cute. When I got up to the front I started flirting with her and she was instantly receptive and we had a good little back and forth going. It was going so well that I felt confident enough to invite her out that night with my friends so I could work my game a bit more. I did and she was genuinely flattered by the offer but before she had a chance to answer a conniving female friend of mine (who had a bit of jealous motives in doing this) came up and wrapped her hands over my arm, put her head on my shoulder and called me babe. I was so shocked I stood there mouth open, looking at the girl at the concession stand while she stared at me in disbelief. Long story short:I did not get her number after all.


I was angry at the time but looking back on it I love that story.


Anyone else have any good ones?

My freshman brother spotting vandals from TCU that had spray paint in their backpacks called the police and had them picked up. That's the reason they now keep the lights on and some yellow jackets there the week before the TCU game, at least the next few years I lived on campus.

Seeing that red fox charging at me and my son at a football game, only to veer off at the last second and make an incredibly athletic leap into the club seats comes to mind. I had never heard of the fox at Ford before then, so it blew my mind. My son and I were staring at each other in disbelief. Since then, I've actually seen the fox make an appearance on TV.

Also, the drunk frat guy who wandered onto the field, grabbed a Nevada helmet, and walked into their huddle is one of the greatest things I've ever seen, inside or outside Ford. I think he also got a drink out of their Gatorade cooler.

Nevada game guy, hands down.

I was at the game and relieved just not to go O'fer on the season...especially blowing the lead against San Jose just a couple weeks prior.

Wouldn't the Nevada incident be a "football" moment. He did get some playing time, or at least huddle time.

The look on the Nevada players faces was priceless. Truly one of the greatest moments in SMU football during our walk through the desert of that decade.

Favorites: Nevada guy, endzone fire, and a streaker during a pep rally

Least favorites: the 2014 season (definitely counts as a "non-football" moment), the 115+ degrees on the field during the Kansas game (I've never been hotter in my life), and the Mustang Maniac/Noid thing jumping around on the sideline

[StallionsModelT]

The entire 2014 was the least entertaining season of SMU football I've experienced. It was just awful.
