Just curious, thought you would know based on the info. in your posts.

When I renewed in February, I got my new bar to fit into my placque in mid-March. It was red. If you haven't received yours, then call the Mustang club and see what they can to help. Hayley, Linda or Debra are very responsive.

I have gotten a new bar the past 3 years. Just very sad that I never got a plaque on which to put the bar so they just sit in my drawer. :cry:

One of the biggest ways to help the program is to attend games and bring others with you to games. We need to fill the stadium on game day.

I have had football season tickets since 1991 and attend the games, even many road games. I will be at opener at Rice for sure, and then following week at Ford. If rest of my family doesn't come, I usually bring friends to try and use all of my 4 tickets.

You are right on need for attendance, but that is not a problem with me (or for that matter I would guess most who take time to post on this board).

2000 in the Mustang Club? That is outrageously disappointing.

Remember that our "revenue sports" have been nothing short of a complete joke for 2 plus decades now. I hope Mustang Club membership increases each and every year but it will take time.

You get a plaque at the Pony level and a renewal bar for each year at that level or above

someone "in the know" could probably confirm, but the highest membership count I can ever remember was just over 3,000. I remember thinking at the time we were still not attracting 5% of our living alumni and to me that has always been a "sad" statistic - but I have no idea how other schools compare.

I know that Clemson's booster club (IPTAY which originally stood for "I pay ten a year") had 22,000 members who contributed $14 mil in 2006. That is for a school that is just over twice the size of SMU.

Our "revenue" sports may not have been there, but, for the love of God, show some support!!

Also, I want to make sure we have a conspicuous was of visually identifying the Pony Faithful in 5 years when we are top 25 most awesome teams ever and the m/c has 100,000 members.
