SMU Mustangs Football Wikipedia Page

Postby SMUer » Fri Dec 31, 2010 4:11 pm

Looks really really rinky-dink. Can someone in the Athletics Dept please make an effort to update the "SMU Mustangs Football" wikipedia page? Several thousand people look at this thing per day and I'm sure students/recruits do too, would it really hurt to make it look cared-for?

1) The wrong SMU Peruna logo is being used in the infobox. I hate the wrong one. Barf.

To do this, one needs to have the copyright to post the image or it'll be yanked. I tried posting one with our white helmet next to "PerunaR.jpg" from the SMU brand guidelines site hoping that a) it'd remain or b) someone would get pissed off at me allowing me to explain that the improper image is currently being used. It was simply deleted. Damn. I also changed colors to the official SMU webcolors, and so far those have remained.

2) The "SMU" on the Iron Skillet, Ganz and NTSU rivalry pages needs to be changed to either "PerunaR.jpg" from the SMU brand guidelines site or some other "SMU.jpg" that is actually used by the athletic department.

3) Can someone add some history besides the Death Penalty/Craig James/Erik Dickerson and June Jones? Seriously, two freaking paragraphs. Can we mention our greats from past decades, like Gerald Mann, Bobby Wilson, Doak Walker, Kyle Rote, Benners, LeVias, McIlhenny, Ford etc; or great games like Ohio State, 1935 TCU, Navy, Notre Dame, historic bowl games, notible draft picks that won SMU national appeal? And posting anecdotes (how Peruna got his names, Peruna killing the Fordham Ram, how Doak was recruited, how the Ford Mustang was named? And post pictures from these years? The SMU factbook does a lot of this already and the text would simply have to be reworded to sound more "encycleopedic".

Pretty sure anyone can edit the wikipage. Have at it.

Peruna logos posted without copyrights get deleted. Text I've added, gets deleted. Someone with copyrights and official athletic department clout might have more luck. It's a pretty important marketing tool that looks totally neglected.
