I'm sure people will like this campaign much better than the last time we did it.

Now is the time to market SMU to the public. More people need to know about SMU in the Metroplex, in the state of Texas, and yes even outside the state of Texas. Market SMU while we are winning. Promote the Basketball Team, get recruits and fans to campus now and maybe, just maybe, people will start to attend football games. When people think of Dallas people should think of SMU. Located right in the middle of a hotbed of basketball and football talent, there is no reason SMU should not be able to recruit well in Dallas every year. When people think of college basketball people should think of SMU. (It is starting to happen) See Duke, Georgetown, Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Gonzaga, even Wichita State. Not all of these schools even have the luxury to be able to be associated with a major metropolitan city like Dallas. We have an advantage at SMU. We just need to be smart enough to use it.


Connect SMU to Dallas? Kind of like you guys did at U of H?

A couple. Not enough. And not in a row.

It's a bummer that Oklahoma A&M just left the SWC after such a short time, but we should be fine

2ndandllong, no, not like U of H and the city of Houston. Not that you care, but I am an SMU Alum who just happens to live in Houston. The U of H marketing plan continues to fail and will forever. U of H is a losing program and Houston is just too spread out. We need a marketing more on the lines of TCU and Fort Worth. I know that you could care less, but don't try to group me in with anything U of H related as I am an SMU Alum, just live in Houston. No need to bash a fellow SMU Alum.

See the video of the Dallas Skyline after an SMU win? That is what I am talking about! People in and around Dallas can see "SMU" for miles. The media is paying attention to SMU Basketball because we are winning. Now is the time to market SMU to the public... to The Metroplex, to the state of Texas and to the Nation. SMU in Dallas! Dallas's Team. See the videos that have recently been posted on ponyfans. Those videos are perfect. Turn those videos into TV Commercials, show those same videos at games. Recruits and fans will get the message. SMU is Back! Pony Up

You know what the TCU marketing model was? Winning the gd Rose Bowl over Wisconsin.

Sounds like a lot of work. Let's just put up a billboard or two.

I'm all about the factual and inarguable statement.

The biggest crime at SMU is how Ira's number is not retired. Can someone who has pull make that happen, please. It's beyond ridiculous that it has not already happened.

I've heard a kid named Emmanuel Mudiay is interested in SMU. He is a 5 star at Prime Prep. That would be incredible

You're right, I don't care. You are extremely uninformed and unaware of what the school does and has done.
