It's as if SMU has had 2 different programs before and after it...and the one after it has been a mid level CUSA team at best. I hope this year that program from 1989-2014 has finally died and we are in a new age to move forward and take this program to the big boy table and get the fanbase energized and involved.


Very true. Two completely different programs. But go back and look: Attendance wasn't all that great before the dp either. We struggled to get 30K in the stands the year we won the Cotton Bowl. The goal is to change all of that and we continue to contribute our money and our loyalty (I have given to SMU for 40 years, including the time we didnt field a team), but in the mean time, let's give the band some better seats.


Stop. And please bear with me as I've had a few scotches tonight. SMU played in Texas Stadium. In Irving. Not a college stadium. Before/After that, Ownby was a nightmare from what I heard. This school has never had a good team pared with a good stadium on campus. I don't want to hear any more comparisons from people in the 1970's and 1980's. The situations are not the same. Simple as that. Maybe time will prove me wrong, but I certainly hope not. I had the time of my life Friday night even though we lost. Surely we can make that contagious.

And yes, the band has got to be moved. That was a horrible position for them.

I agree and 30k to Irving stadium is actually not a bad turnout from a small private school. In fact that is what TCU more or less brings today vs LSU or other big teams in Jerryworld. It's different now and I think it will take a culture change but Chad Morris impressed a lot of people and I had many friends not affiliated with former swc/b12 say they want to score tickets to see us play this season. That is how we build fans, by attracting the UTD, UD, UTA, NTSU, Stephen F you name it to come be fans of a really good football team just like I see even TCU fans be the biggest SMU hoops fans.

Don't be [deleted] him. A 1:2 original ideas to posts ratio qualifies him for the UNT honors program.

No doubt. It appeared to me that Baylor didn't even bring their whole band. I'm sure UNT will.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
