Roommate just said "is your new school slogan 'we're not rich, we're cheap!'"

It's such a terrible commercial. Go ponies.

Awful commercial! Need to change as soon as possible regardless of the cost. I cringe every time I watch it.

It wouldn't surprise me if the production cost of that animation was a heck of a lot more than the cost for the usual, run-of-the-mill spot that most every other school produces.

I agree a new commercial needs to be part of the "complete change of culture"

Seriously it is so embarrassing. I don't think a single person likes it.

We aren't smart enough to drop a "ho hum" intro, admit it sux, go back to last years and edit.

Poor fans tonight...thinking a 7:00 PM start I guess, too many fans looking like empty seats, too many students late, and just an overall [deleted] poor showing for a 7-0 opponent.

Feel free to write a bigger check as the article in the paper today pretty much said the school is tapped out.

6PM start plus Dallas traffic makes it tough for working folks.

Not sure what the students' excuse is.

SMU fans are always late though.

New commercials were just shot. Not sure when they will go live.

Good. This animated one and the Unbridled one featuring the UN of SMU before it were bad.
