Just watched it again. Looks great. This might be a dumb question, but is there going to be any copy telling people where to go and what to do?

WTF???

Why on Page 14 does the "Re: **Thad Video - In Progress**" change to the "Houston, SMU to join Big East if Louisville leaves" thread ?

Perhaps my "HB Pony Dad (aka Honey Badger) Don't Care" post inspired the mods to try and combine the Two Thadsta Commercial Thread as I was calling out all of you who pledged and then slink back into the vapor of the internet.

So in honor of the Thadsta doing all the work while you "birds" get to eat off of his hard work...



PONY UP and SEND MONEY

I'm specifically calling out all who pledged and have failed to send their $$$ in.

The Thadsta is sleeping after staying awake all night to finish the commercial and I am to wake him in a bit so he can get back at it.

Don't disappoint SMU, The Thadsta, HB Pony Daughter, and the Honey Badger!

35straight, Yes - thad is putting that in separately. We are just going to refer people to the SMU ticket office for tickets rather than putting up individual games and the special ticket package. I don't have access to that version to send you.

Everybody else, See HBponydad's post above.

I am really interested where we stand in terms of money collect thus far versus the amount we need to keep Thad whole --I believe that Treadway21 posted that he is working on sharing that number with us. BTW -- as someone else mention in a previous post unless you followed the instructions line by line exactly it is very possible that folks contributed but the dollars are flowing into other SMU accounts and not the one specifically established for this effort. Could be one reason the dollars pledged are not adding up. Beat UCF !

Yeah... after it premiere's on the tube tonight, you can send it everywhere. I'll post a link right after it plays tonight on Fox Sports Southwest!

I can't get a total from SMU until Thursday, so will have to report then. I am keeping a running account as best I can. A few people are out of town and haven't put in yet, but will. A few have put in and not given me an amount. I am only missing a few people who I will PM this afternoon.

We will make the 5k. This issue is Thad used artistic liberty and spent more the 5K. We need to pull out all the stops to cover his overage. And it has all come out of his pocket.

The product is worth every penny, so let's think about two things to help: 1. Go outside our circles for support 2. Plaster it all over your social media connections when Thad makes the thing public. It will generate interest.

Thanks.

I just finished watching the FINAL CUT and it is beyond my greatest expectations.

The Thadsta and his crew are perfectionists and it shows.

I guarantee you will all be blown away and be proud that you played a part!

SMU FOOTBALL COMMERCIAL PREMIERES TONIGHT!!!

Post by ThadFilms »

During tonight's episode of SMU Football 2011: The Stampede

Tune in to see what you made happen!!! I think it's something we can all be proud of... I am, of course, biased. Turn on, tune in, GO MUSTANGS!!!

(Link for donations will still be active for well after it airs... any funds beyond what is needed to cover costs will go to "in-game"/"in-stadium" entertainment. The goal is to make videos SMU can play this year and next to improve the stadium atmosphere.)

PONY UP!!!
