I have to agree with you. On the train back to Plano, those that weren't coming from the game were coming from the state fair, and several were actually eager to talk SMU and impressed about the win. There are advantages in the relative ignorance of the non-pf.com fan; i.e. when we "arrive," they'll just hop on the bandwagon. And we'll welcome them. Could be a lot of them, especially if the team that's playing as I type continues its downward spiral.

You're exactly right RGV! People love winners!!!

I was visiting the mall here at home (Los Angeles area) & we were in a cap store. I asked the owners which are the big sellers. And of course they were all WINNERS!!

1. NY Yankees (3,000 miles away)
2. Dodgers
3. Red Sox (3,000 miles away)
4. Of course the local teams - UCLA & SC
5. Texas (you would be surprised!!!)
6. & the Pittsburgh Pirates - b/c they're cool. (go figure)
7. Retro stuff like the old AFL, etc. - wake up SMU!!!
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.
