It IS a issue if potential fans or recruits are uncomfortable going to campus. It is the same reason you dont host am event you want to attract HP residents to in pleasant grove. We have to tone it down, or change the narrative

I thought you wanted us to exploit that elitist image? Change in game plan now?

All the elitist & accessibility talk is absurd. I'm sorry, it just is. Our problem isn't not being "hood" enough. Our problem is losing.

"Inner city" kids aren't avoiding SMU because a handful of alumni are snobby. People don't come to games or buy our shirts because we suck. If you don't think we suck (in the grand scheme of things), you are delusional.

Kids/Recruits/Most normal people like winners. If we were winning, and beating real opponents (nope 4-1 facing UCF isn't good enough - save it), the seats would fill & the shirts would sell. If we were winning, you could fill the buses with all the kids you wanted. Right now, kids don't think we're cool because we aren't. Bottom line.

Do you think the Lakers, Yankees, or recently the Heat are "accessible"??? Ask most kids who their favorite basketball team is. Most will say the Heat these days... Do you really think it's because they are a bunch of genuine, salt of the earth guys??

Do you really think SC, Miami, and Duke are accessible??? Give it a rest. We are no better/no worse than any other private institution (and a lot of public schools as another poster stated). Just drop the elitist whines - it's stupid and flat wrong.

I don't condone the snobbery that does exist (at SMU or anywhere), but this and every other excuse for why we aren't "popular" other than the product on the field are bull[gary].

Oh, and to stay on topic, the chrome helmets are sweet for a game or two.

From reading your post, I realize that you must not have actually gone to school at smu.

Discussing helmets at this point in time is like prostitutes discussing virtue.

We could go with these. Maybe that would give us more street cred.



I'm sure these will cost more than $400 though.

More like discussing what shade of lipstick were are going to apply to the lips of our pig.

Now that's a good one. LOL!

If SMU keeps losing, let the players wear their practice uniforms during the games.
