Jack Pardee's Cougars went 3-0 against UT ('87-89), including 66-15 in 1988 in Austin.

Regarding MBA involvement, that's a noble cause. I recruit Cox MBAs and am on the Associate Board so I think that greater efforts should be spent on the frats and sororities and undergrads in general.

I find that Cox MBAs who got their undergrad degree at SMU are the most enthusiastic about sports. That seems like about 15% of the MBA student body. Many of SMU's MBA students come from other Southwest U.S. undergrads, and have loyalties to those programs (if at all). They can watch their undergrad schools on TV, meet with local alumni for watch parties or go to the games.

The FT students are the ones who have more free tim to go to games. That's about 150 students. PMBAs and EMBAs are highly distracted with jobs and families. From the outside looking in, it seems like Kevin Knox is doing a solid job with the tailgating parties on the Boulevard.

Yes, great article by Richard Justice on the Coogs. I'd like a twelve team conference with UH, SMU and TCU. A&M's departure creates a hole in the Houston area.

Well said OTP. as a recent grad and young alumnus, I do everything I can to spread the word about the growth of our program. I really believe in using social networks as a means to inform others about our successes. I post positive articles about our program and follow and "retweet" everything June says. I can definitely see how the average student's perception of the program has improved. I really believe that this year's attendance will rise...especially with how many great home games we have....UCF/Navy. I myself will be traveling from Denver for at least 4 games and intend to convince as many people as I can to either watch the games on TV or attend with me. Our support can help our team more than ever this year. We can't just let our team work hard and expect to get better. We need to work hard too! Let's go Mustangs!

Keep up the great work, CMF. Success is especially rewarding when the path is difficult.
