Not to mention that but I believe this is the last weekend of the year that we are allowed to wear white but I defer to mrydel for for proper etiquette and verification.

What color is TT travel colors? White

What color has our marketing program come up with to wear? White

Why the hell do we keep doing this?

So when everyone wears white, it will look like there are more Tech fans than SMU, good thing this is on TV, wouldn't want the world to see how silly we are.....

Smashingly good idea old chap. Bravo. I just hope eveyone claps in a proper fashions when we score.
Often, I hope. :D
By proper fashion I meant not to loudly. To loudly would not be how the upper class does it. :lol:

Haven't all of the home openers in recent years have been white-outs?

soiree, to me, sounds boring, stuffy, old and uninviting.

we try so hard to be Ole Miss, it's sad.

this campaign perpetuates a bad stereotype that we need to shed before regular Dallas folk will accept SMU as the hometown team.

Also makes us look really really soft. I hate this.

It does seem like we are trying to copy some things at Ole Miss like Okie State is doing certain thinks like Texas Tech.

Correct. You are fine with white until after Labor Day. And to those that say that is no longer in effect, you are wrong. So there.
