All remaining home games officially sold out

[Rebel10]

June did not make LB possible. He and Kris Lowe encouraged him to hang in there when SMU originally did not hire him. Also June had less restrictions on him than any other coach since the DP so he should have done better than others.

Now back to the original subject.

SMU, hoping to extend its home winning streak to 14 against Houston on Wednesday, will finish with the all-time highest season average at Moody.

SMU is averaging 6,677 in seven games at Moody. With the final three home games sold out, the Mustangs will beat the previous best of 6,665, set in 1961-62 with a 10-1 record at home.

Coach Larry Brown visited with the students and faculty camped at the ticket office on Sunday night, Monday morning and Tuesday morning.
“Of all the things that have happened since I’ve been here, that to me is the most exciting thing, having the students and faculty behind us,’’ Brown said. “A lot of neat things are happening around here, but the best part is the pride in the school. I think it’s going to resonate throughout every sport.’’

SMU will finish with a school-record seven sellouts. The previous best was five in 1984-85. The crowd of 7,166 in the reopening of Moody on Jan. 4 against UConn was the first sellout since 2001.

You think we would have had a chance at joining the BE/AAC without the four bowl games in a row? You think LB would have lobbied for a CUSA 2 job without that new conference on the horizon?

No.

I've disagreed with ponyboy a lot recently, but I think this is correct. We were one of the worst 1-A football programs, hell, one of the worst 1-A athletic departments, before June came on board in 2008. His recruiting and general effort towards his job now is disgraceful, but there's a good chance we'd be partnered with UNT, Rice, and UTEP for the next decade if June hadn't taken the SMU job six years ago.

Truth.
