Athletic marketing ... run by the Daily Campus?

Got a Facebook notice about tomorrow's soccer game (which I will attend. Loudly.) But check it out:

"If last week's epic come from behind victory didn't convince you to come support the men's soccer team this week, then you must not be a fan of the intrinsic value of sports. Or winning. With that said, the men are back in action tomorrow night against William and Mary to battle for a spot in the Elite 8. Be there, be loud, bring signs, get excited and WEAR RED. Last week's crowd was killer, but I think we can out-do it. Come one, come all....but really, COME ALL!!! Game kicks off at 7. Doors open at 5:30."

"Come from behind victory?"
"Winning"?

I don't know if it's a soccer thing, or a tournament thing, but ... we didn't win. We tied. We advanced on the PK shootout.

Maybe it was written by a freshman or something, but the team deserves better (and more accurate) publicity.

Go Mustangs! Beat W&M!

In soccer, the clock goes up.

In college soccer, the clock goes down.

In soccer, it's recorded as a draw and an advance on penalties.

In college soccer, it's recorded as a win.

The list goes on.

Not true — after the game last Sunday, SMU's record became 15-2-1.
Game was recorded as a draw.

Interesting. I guess the SID staff and the online marketing staff don't talk.
