Are you kidding? Have you looked at smumustangs.com? Have you gone to the bookstore recently? He brought back the old arched logo, set standards for school colors, and many other branding-related issues.

richard has done a ton for marketing...working with him on the tailgate committee was great. He always looked for the way to get more people included from outside the smu community. he has planned a huge campaign for commercials to get the dallas community back involved. he has been great for athletics and hopefully some of his ideas about marketing will rub off on his replacements

I wonder what kind of contract athletic department employees usually have? I know non-tenured faculty usually get 9 month contracts, which could explain Sweet leaving after nine months.
Was there no damn buyout? If not, Orsini need to call Kelleher and demand that Southwest do a Peruna 737 vis a vis the Shamu 737.

No, SMU is only worthy of a city bus.

You know putting advertisements on the city buses (outside of the mustang express) might not be such a bad idea. We would get some exposure outside of the bubble that way, and maybe some of the local kids will remember we exist.

On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney?

Actually, I thought that those were basically charter buses...Buses By Bill or something along those lines. I remember when they broke down a lot during the first year or two, they used charter buses as a substitute.

I'm pretty sure those Mustang Express things are operated by DART.

Is this the same committee that decided to raise prices for the tailgating spots on the Blvd by 400% this year and also make it harder for people to tailgate on the Blvd if the do not have a parking spot?
