Final Admission That Amon Carter is an Ugly Dump

[couch 'em]

I think SMU should consider putting in real seats as
opposed to high school aluminum bleachers before
it can call another stadium an eye sore.


Clarification

I would assume that the description above is incorrect.

I've only seen pictures of the exterior of Ford Stadium.

As I recall the exterior is covered entirely with brick.

Therefore it would seem highly unlikely that the entire

inner structure of such a stadium would be composed

of aluminum bleachers.

hes actually right. its almost all bleachers. but it still blows me away that the entire project of Ford Stadium cost $42M (wikipedia) and the frogs wanna renovate their turd for 175+...

So, you are saying that SMU's Ford stadium is actually composed

entirely of "Friday Night Lights" aluminum bleachers that have been

cleverly hidden by an exterior facade of brick. No wonder the overall

cost was so incredibly CHEAP. It's somewhat tantamount to putting

lipstick on a pig. Those who play in a stadium with aluminum bleachers

have no room to throw stones.

All the latest stadiums are going to aluminum. Go look at the expanded Cotton Bowl areas. Concrete is so passe.

Nice try, but that dog won't hunt.

geez, it's not like it's Waco, Fort Worth is a great town. Maybe you should stick to Conference smack.... no that won't work. How about all time head to head? Maybe not. The recent record, lets say, last 10 years.... OK, stick to the my town is better than your town.

Soccer smack is available as a backup, I guess..

One thing I will always have to thank TCU for is allowing Demyron Martin to announce his presence with authority. That was really gracious of you considering it was just one week after your "program defining" game against OU. So thanks for that.

And replace Daniel-Meyer while you're at it.

We will--it is in the works as well. It will be done in the same way Wichita State revamped their arena.

And speaking of pigs....nice job on that practice facility. All you need to know about the difference between SMU and TCU is summed up by comparing our perfect facility with your tin pig-pen.

Emmm, might want to rethink that...it was voted the 2nd nicest in the country. Hahnfeld Hoffer Stanford has won numerous awards for its design. In fact, SMU liked the stuff so much they've done on our campus, they've started using them...your engineering school and rec center are two wonderful examples.

we cant be talking about the same building. your practice facility? The one that looks really cheap, that even toads dont like? It really looks like hell - I'm i'm not one that bashes the rest of your campus which I don't think is all that bad looking - not a great color - but hey you've been stuck with it for years so too late to change that direction.

Basketball or Football?

If basketball, yeah the outside sucks and I agree.

[gostangs]

Basketball. That explains the confusion.

Horrible. Nothing on the inside can make up for it - and the inside can be beat, cause we just did it.

Hell, I agree. It was cool when it was built, but times pass.

[gostangs]

wow, you just sucked all the fun out of that arguement. Can we also agree that SMU is better in all things, and then go sing kum-bah-ya?

I agree.

Now, where's that beer you promised.
