Giddyup and RGV. Any pictures of the Billboard promoting the game?

Should also note that through the generosity of the dallasdaily folks we got another message at 75/parker which read 'join the stampede SMU Utep 9/10 tix $15 214-SMU game"

These are leased by the day, and we got the SMU rate, which is significantly less because of volume.

They run about 1200/wk each at that rate.

GiddyUp has priced some other more traditional billboards around town..3500-8500 a month ea dep on traffic and location

Nice! How much do you think it would cost to buy one of those billboards for SMU?


I was thinking the same thing the other day.....just buy one or two outright on 75 and or Tollway. Advertise sports, events at moody, museum, school, etc.

I'm in for $100

Yes, red and blue - would look great. You couldn't miss it.

Thank RGV for donating more than he should have. Southbound on 75 today you can see it.

See you boys tomorrow.

Absolutely, thank you!! Please don't take my suggestion to expand your idea as a slight in any way.


hell I say we paper the town. Make people complain about all the red & blue around Dallas the way people like me complain about the burnt orange around Austin

Hate driving on 30 and seeing this:

I was just going to post that.

RGV, thanks for pushing the billboard campaign and walking the walk. Maybe we should also think of a Guerrilla Marketing campaign of some sort - let's get on the sports map in Dallas.

GiddyUp is right there.

One thing that I think is encouraging is we have multiple movements of people doing something...the SMU2BCS folks...the Operation sellout & hours & effort put forth by folks like 2ndandlong. Still not where we want to be but more than we've had.

Guerilla Marketing..I like that.
