TCU billboardModerators: PonyPride, SmooPower Re: TCU billboardCan you say - "Insecurity".
SMU has kicked TCU's a... in academics and athletics for most of our living memory. Now that we have decided to pull our head out our a... and assert the natural order - does TCU feel compelled to run the billboard. Sit tight, continue to climb the academic rankings (SMU 56 - TCU 99), win at football and basketball and all will be right. And when we once again start beating them in the revenue sports - please let's not run billboards in FW, let's not gloat, because gravity has taken effect and the natural order has been restored. Texas is to A&M as SMU is to TCU. TCU and A&M each have had their little run - but the competitive balance is eventually returned to its rightful place. Texas's nonchalance during the 90's dry spell vs A&M drove the aggies crazy. The feeling was that the natural order would soon restore itself and life will get back to normal. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Pony 81
Re: TCU billboardAs much as I hate to admit it, the TCU people took advantage of their omission from the Big 12 and turned it into a positive. Now they are considered a top-notch program in football and baseball nationally. Other schools took the "woe is me" attitude. SMU....a sleeping giant in one of the greatest cities in the world! Still don't know why SMU doesn't go after more of the high-profile recruits in the north texas area. Must be something about Texas high school coaches.
Re: TCU billboardI'm sure TCU saw this a few months ago and copied it. Good for them, it's about time SMU gets poked into action. How can any team claiming to be Top-25 not have a marketing department?
Maybe we can lure this guy away from his new gig:

Re: TCU billboardsomeone light the torch for that thing.
Have to think that chafes JJ & Doh driving to the Hilltop every day. I'm surprised there's not a push for some kind of campaign. Hell use the bus money. JJ did it in Hawaii: ![]() I've mentioned these before: ![]()
Re: TCU billboard
Again, there is no marketing department. Orsini doesn't think it merits athletic money. He'll take half the university to Hawaii for a week for the 2009 bowl game, but when it comes to marketing, it's e-mails and yard signs! Woohoo! Once a Mustang, ALWAYS a Mustang!
Re: TCU billboardWhen you have limited, or no, resources, I think outdoor is prohibitively expensive and would direct those marketing dollars elsewhere. As part of a large, multifaceted campaign, go for it. But in our case, I think outdoor is a waste of money.
If they purposely chose that board to poke us, then mission accomplished. They upset a dozen active Ponyfans.com posters and spent several thousand dollars to do so. More than likely, it's on a rotator and will be gone in a month or so. And, it's an ugly hard to read left hand read on a busy freeway where the boards don't show up that well anyway because they are so far above the roadway. ![]()
Re: TCU billboardHere's your answer...

Re: TCU billboardThe only board that matters is the scoreboard.
I'ld rather have a nonexistent marketing department than one that spends moneyin ways that motivate the competition. What will that cluelessly creative bunch come up with next? I love you....TCU. ![]()
Re: TCU billboardPerhaps this is them slapping our face to wake us from our funk. A strong rivalry benefits both teams.
I hope this is a preplanned deal where we'll open a billboard by TCU tit-for-tat to try to get media attention. "I think Couchem is right."

Re: TCU billboard
Exactly - if it keeps the rivalry going strong then that's a good thing. I remember a winter rye grass incident a few years back...
