when was the last time a big 10 school had a 20 something email string about the pros and cons of SMU sports? We aint back, but we sure are getting closer.

Also helps that froggie high kicked their butts and they won't forget that very soon. Just helps us.

One of my coworkers is a Wisconsin grad. He still claims that they got hosed in that game. I hate the Big 10.

most interesting comment was future expansion of Ford to over 60,000 from proceeds of Gerald Ford's recent Bank sale. Anybody heard anything resembling this rumor

I really hope that they don't close in the horseshoe. Add a third layer, but please do not fill in the grassy knoll!

That knoll is more fun than the Moody parking lot.

the horsehoe will be filled at some point. I have heard absolutely no talk of that at this point. I think that project is roughly number 30 on the list for down the road after many others....Now if we get over 15k season ticket holders....that could accelerate.

Sorry to further derail the thread, and I think this has been discussed before, but how can they add another level of seating to Ford on the east end with the new housing going up right there? I dont think it's possible

[gostangs]

it was designed to add a deck when needed - above the existing level. would not extend beyond the existing eastern wall of the stadium. plus the dorms are well back from the stadium anyway.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

At one point somebody said the original plans wouldn't work anymore with the sophomore dorms because of fire code violations - but if we are off a few feet I'm sure we can get a waiver or move Ford over a few feet.

[gostangs]

i don't think that is correct - they will work fine. There is no effect from the sophomore housing since we would go straight up.

I maintain we actually fill the existing stadium before declaring how we will expand it. IMO.
