First 500 students get free innoutburger starting at 5pm

No AD gets to make that call if too much money is tied up in buying out the coach's contract. That's just the fact of the situation. But you're right that Hart would have moved on if he could. He's saying the only things he can say publicly. He's a helluva an AD and is doing all the right things.

[East Coast Mustang]

Hey but everyone bash Rick Hart, right?

I think Rick had some good football ideas as well- the $19.83 ticket promo for the Rutgers game with the throwback jerseys, free admission for anyone who braved the elements at the UCF game, etc. Football is an uphill climb because of competition for entertainment on Saturday afternoons in DFW and even if we drew a sellout crowd at Moody into Ford it would be 1/4 full. I've never understood the disdain some on PF have for Rick- marketing and in-game presentation have improved 5,000x since he came on board

Because he makes excuses for our lazy ax coach and doesn't hold him to any kind of a standard while full embracing Junes excuses for why we suck

But let's not derail this thread cause In-n-out, that's what a hamburger's, all about.

Also, you gotta try their animal fries if you haven't.

I thought I already coherently explained why his hands were tied and he couldn't buy June out after 2013, so we gave JJ an extension that really isnt worth [deleted] and we can easily get out of after this season. It was really our only option...and obviously he isn't going to bash his current football coach, at least not publicly.

If you want to blame the AD, blame Orsini who gave June such a sweetheart deal. Rick should be judged by his next football coaching hire

Also, Whataburger > In N Out, in my opinion.

Does anyone think it's strange that both advertise at Moody? Seems odd to have competitors both advertising at games- you'd think one would be "the official hamburger of SMU athletics" or something

Also, Whataburger > In N Out, in my opinion.

Not at the pricepoint. Nothing better than In N Out for value.

[East Coast Mustang]

In n Out's fries suck in my opinion, whereas Whataburger's are up there with McDonald's as the gold standard in french fry quality

[ponyboy]

Got me there. I just can't get over how *expensive* Whataburger is, though. I spend three times as much -- three times -- when I take my family there as compared to In N Out. Whataburger's not three times better.

[ponyboy]

Ok, I exaggerated. I did the math and a double cheeseburger with fries and a shake is $5.93 at In N Out versus $9.77 at Whataburger. Still.

What type of fries do you like? You can customize your fries at In-N-Out

I like them crispy. Whataburger has perfected that. Can you order that at In N Out? I always order crispy fries at burger house

Why did you open that can of worms. You are talking about two different things. I can't remember anyone bashing him about marketing. It is other areas. Or are you just being a incendiary on purpose? The thread was going well until you derailed it. If the football team had a promising future and was exciting they would have good crowds as well imo. By the way when was the last time Moody was sold out since it is so easy to do?

I've already won 2 Whataburgers by sitting in Section of guy who hit 3 baskets-they did that in Garland it seems not in Moody. I'm reinvesting the prize money

Ask for fries well-done at in-n-out

That is a pretty significant difference.

They do it in Moody too but you are probably getting a beer when they do it

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH OUR ATHLETICS MARKETING DEPARTMENT?!

They are getting kind of innovative aren't they.

This is exactly my thinking too. I am absolutely dumbfounded to see an actual, functioning marketing department at SMU. It's almost like someone said... hmm, winning national awards for advertising across campus, could we possibly use some of that thinking in other ways? [Insert Guiness commercial voice] Brilliant!
