SMU-A&M Set For Saturday; Tickets Still Available

Sept. 12, 2012

DALLAS (SMU)- With the big SMU-Texas A&M game set for Saturday, SMU is asking fans to "WEAR RED, BE EARLY & BE LOUD!"

Moving forward, SMU Athletics is asking fans to wear red to all SMU Athletic events to show support for the Mustangs. Fans are also asked to arrive at Ford Stadium early and to be in their seats by kickoff. This week’s game will feature a flyover of T-38s from the United States Air Force’s 80th Flying Training Wing from Sheppard Air Force Base following the National Anthem. As always, Mustang fans are asked to BE LOUD!

Tickets are still available and can be purchased through SMUMustangs.com or by calling 214-768-4263.

And don't sell your da-mn seats to aggies.

wearing blue, anyone have a pair left?

[GRGB]

Yes, RED is such a great choice playing the MAROON aggies. BLUE would have been my choice.

We ask fans to wear red every game. Whether we play A&M or UH, we are the home team. Why would we change? If they don't want to look like SMU fans, they can change. #PonyUp #WearRedSMU

Well, that's demonstrably false, but who cares. Early and loud is the important part.

Yes, 100% of the time every time, except when you ask fans to wear white.

WTH?...we were asked to have a 'white out' at a 50 % sold stadium which was non effective, and now we are asked to wear red when we have a maroon color opponent coming in?...you don't ask the other team to change, you choose how you want to be effective with the color scheme and if you think about it and plan accordingly..... the 'white out' theme would be MUCH more effective this weekend with a close to sold out stadium, and especially since TAMU historically comes in with maroon on. THEY aren't going to change. SID I disagree with your statement and plan for this weekend.

Its not really going out of our way to wear blue, its still one of our colors.....it just makes sense. Picking the best color our colors to wear depending on who we are playing is not exactly bending over backwards or anything....

Its just logical

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

They obviously want us to wear red.

Old Miss, who is in the same predicament as we are having blue and red as their main colors, actually publishes a schedule for what the fans should wear:

Of course, with our fan base it's difficult to get people to do much of anything that requires coordination and effort. I applaud the effort to just pick a color and to try to get the word out.

As much as I (and most people) would like the chosen color to be blue - if they say red - it's red.

Go Ponies!

Everyone needs to quit throwing a hissy fit. Get off your high horses. This is football, who cares what color the crowd is. Get over it.

Does it really matter? I don't think the players or coaches care. "Just win baby". A packed supportive crowd that is supportive no matter the score until the game is over......yea kinda like our opponent. Yes it is cool to stand and yell too!

[DickerJames]

SERIOUSLY, why does this cause such a big crybaby FIT!

Just shut up and wear red like we are asked to do, and if you wear blue you are an old bitter person!!

[TWALV33]

don't get me wrong, I'll be wearing red.

just pointing out it makes more sense to wear blue

This is a msg board where things like this are pointed out after all, its silly to get upset about it...
