I would have felt slighted if someone hadn't given me a little hell for bringing it up

It's time to stop bashing Copeland. I never recall getting any ticket materials without a schedule on it during his tenure.

But this is what happens when you fire your marketing staff.

They could have given the brocure to our second string defensive linemen for feedback and would have caught this. I don't think it takes a genius marketing staff to get this right.

This sort of stuff happens all the time at SMU - not just the athletic department.

The more important question if - how much will this cost us in our new Top 25 ranking of Economicly Efficient Athletic Departments?

Copeland's SNAFUs were a lot worse than materials without schedules, and
you could count on at least 2 or 3 of them during a year. :roll:

Copeland was just going through the motions. :oops:

I'd be willing to pay 8.32 cents a ticket for 6 games for two seats now that I have graduated...is that about how much seats cost?

Yeah, and they were printed on the old mimeograph in the basement of Perkins Gym - it gave them the "old school" look.

My point exactly!

It took about 20 secs for you to proof this and catch a typo in a message board post.

You would think they would have taken the time to do this with a mass printed mailer that likely went out tens of thousands of prospective ticket buyers.
