It was covered in the Dallas Morning News this morning, so that coverage should offset any loss of recruits attributable to the new building.

Me, too. Hope the turnout was a good one. Did anyone take pics?

Damn it 1965, I was counting on you for a thorough recap.

Bunch of people talked about SMu and basketball and money and buildings. Then everybody at nachos and hot dogs.

Good thing you didn't pick journalism as your profession. :lol:

Unless you were sitting in the front row and had a flash brighter than the sun, photography wasn't going to work -- very dark inside the tent. I'm sure the DMN will have a clear (albeit small) shot, because they -- at least I assume it was the DMN -- had a photog with a monster flash who was bouncing around blinding people. Hot dogs were a little rubbery.

But dammit, they broke ground on what sounds like it's going to be an absolutely first-rate facility. Coach Rompola, Coach Doherty, Steve Orsini, President Turner, the Board of Trustees and of course the donors .... everyone who had a hand in getting this up and running deserves our thanks.

Fox 4 filmed it.

There were a lot of TV cameras there. Were they all there from Channel 4?

I think I saw Donnie Nelson there, too.

You are right. Little Whistle was there.

Turnout was great - I couldn't get in any farther than the doorway, and there were people lined up behind me trying to see.

Yeah I couldn't believe how big the turnout was.
