That's financial abbreviating. "M" for Mil - i.e. roman numeric for 1000 (think metric). Million would be a Mil Mil, or "MM"smu diamond m wrote:Yeah, a half-billion ($500m) is a lot of paper.ontheedgeofmyseat wrote:$500m sounds about right to me...that's a lot of cabbage fellas...welcome to big time college fball.

so 1M = 1,000; 1MM = 1,000,000
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally

In my world, we abbrev. 500,000 as 500m 5,000,000 would be 500mm...nobody around here usually gets confused, maybe some of the new sales guys, but that is to be expected. Go Mustangs!!

Wouldn't 500mm be 500,000,000? Of course, I'm not in your world.ontheedgeofmyseat wrote:In my world, we abbrev. 500,000 as 500m 5,000,000 would be 500mm...nobody around here usually gets confused, maybe some of the new sales guys, but that is to be expected. Go Mustangs!!

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

The band needs a messageboard.

Spoke to someone in Mustang Club today they said band and pep squads were never not going to Hawaii. Said Ponyfans message board had it wrong from beginning. I'm not judging just repeating what I was told. Who knows the main thing is they are going. Didn't ask if the little horse was going.

Not sure how smart it would be to try to take Peruna. At 17 years old and needing to be sedated to travel... not a good combination.
But, I do not make these choices.
I had heard the the band was going a while back.
Band needs a travel fund that which people can donate.
