This one quote, a joke or not, is the main problem with SMU Athletics. You go to games to watch SMU play, not the other team.
End of discussion. Very well said.
I've had season tickets for the basketball teams for years, and I almost never miss a single game. Love going to see the Ponies play - planning a couple of road trips this year, too.
Go PONIES!

we will have to wait and see i guess. IMO this team is no different than what we've had before. i hope i am dead wrong and we run the table for you sunshiners, but it will not happen


This team is far more athletic than our teams over the last 7-8 seasons could ever dream of being. We will see how are results are but to me we are definitely different than what we have had before.

the SMU student profile (aside from coming from money) has changed over the years. Not many seem to care about athletics. That (athletics) is NOT a reason to be attracted to SMU these days. Hopefully that will change in the not too distant future. The window of opportunity is closing.

They care, they just care about other athletic teams. Like say, oh I don't know, teams that win games and play in BCS conferences.

It's because we haven't done anything in two decades, and have actively tried not to do anything for two decades. That and going 1-11 and then 1-10 and a 10-20 basketball team all within 400 days. Win games and people will come.

Actually the problem is they are a bunch of wussies.

If you are a red blooded american male college student - especially in Texas - you are a die hard fan for that schools major athletic teams and you at least go to that schools home games.

The typical SMU student use to be a normal college guy - they are currently from what I can tell a bunch of self centered drunk pansies. If they weren't they would go to the games no matter who the opponant is.
