Someone explain to me how this university decided to give season tickets to kids in the lower bowl who don't cheer at all. The mob is the worst section at the game.

It is all sober, self-conscious engineering students

Cheap shot. I was a sober SMU engineering student at one point, and I cheered loudly in the student section (when there were only about 5 of us there to cheer).

Yeah well obviously that doesn't work when you're trying to compete on a national stage. I love how whenever we get something good going the administration decides to kill it with horrible policy.

If you give SMU a chance to screw up a good thing, 9 out of 10 they will

In all honestly, is it really the admin's fault that the students who get the tickets (however they get them) are a bunch of silent tossers who are that perfect combination of timid/quiet with absolutely no sense of the game? Sounds like it is the students fault. Those same engineering students and science students, et al, are bringing the noise and intensity at other schools.

No it is the admins fault for their brilliant idea that students had to attend like 25 events in order to get tickets. Kids who actually go nuts at games aren't ever going to attend an absurd number of events at sports that SMU isn't good at / kids can't connect to that actually play sports. It's on the administration for making the decision to give tickets based on other sport attendance.

Turner hates sports.

BSEE '05.... but rarely sober

on TV the mob was going all out tonight .

They picked it up in the 2nd half.

They woke up in the 2nd half but the team did also. The crowd is there to wake the team up / encourage when down.

When we got within 6-7 the faucets opened up

That has been the problem, completely outside of the Uconn game where all of moody was turnt from tip (which ruled)

They follow the momentum instead of being on the front edge of it. They quickly pick up the momentum now, I'll give them that for sure. Still, if the team doesn't go on a run there they are a library the rest of the way.

25? Come on now... It was like 8-10 depending on which ones you went to...
