The casual fan

[ponyboy]

So the casual fan is always scanning the horizon for a team to root for. Usually it's because of a character or two, be it on the court or bench. But first and foremost the team has to be good.

Our team is the perfect fit. We need to be pounding home this fact. Pounding it home. LB. Nic Moore. Markus. Deeper cuts are Ben Moore and Sterling Brown.

So much for the casual fan to love about this team. Are we fully taking advantage of that?

I'd like to see some billboards in the DFW area this year with Larry, Markus, and Nic. Two exciting players who are easy to root for and one of the best coaches of all time....not that we need help selling tickets now, but just to generate interest in the area and maybe help pad the TV ratings locally.

Yes. I posted this last year, we need to get on those electronic billboards like the Mavs do advertising the matchup giving the channel and time of each game.

Yeah it would be great to have more interest, but isn't it a waste of money to push basketball when we don't need to sell any tickets?

We need TV viewers too

You always need to sell tickets. The same people do not buy the same tickets every year. You have to keep the interest so they are always people wanting tickets.

Good points.

And it's not just to sell the tkts. Building excitement and fans in Dallas. We dont really have that and we should. You dont have to be an SMU grad to get excited, support and maybe just buy a tkt to a game or two. There should be buzz around town on game days. We might be a smaller university than some and so what that we had a lot if woes- our program can rival these larger schools any old day.

We've got a nice product.

Sell on Stubhub great marketing.
BB hasn't got any problems.
It's the thing that happens after the white dress, boots, and booze gathering. .

You could always do more to try to attract dfw casual fans but talking to ppl at the games in concession lines, etc. there are a decent amount of non-alum hoops fan that cometo see our on court product. I think we are doing a pretty decentjob of that and getting dfw recruits is always a huge boost.

I remember a time when I was in high school, I think, when Van Halen played a free concert in Dallas and I found out about it later. Could have kicked myself as I loved the band at the time. How come nobody told me? was all that kept running through my mind. How come nobody told me?

Well how come we are not shouting from the rooftops that our local team, coached by Larry Freaking Brown, is really, really good and getting better? How many people are missing the Van Halen concert right under their noses? There is so much to love about this team and how we play the right way.

Van Halen was -- was -- one of the greatest rock bands of all time. And did outstanding live shows. That was 30 years ago.
