They're ordered — haven't arrived.
I also plan to be at every home game. Do you? (Oh, wait, you've already announced you're missing a home game and a nearly-home game in FW ... where does your avatar say you live? Not saying you shouldn't go, but if you're skipping out on SMU games, don't preach to others about being there.)

Enough! Just let the actions speak louder than the words.
So you'd prefer he preach doom and gloom? Or perhaps not say anything at all? Yup — that'll sell to ticket buyers and recruits.

Another example of a thread about something positive....our coach predicting a sell-out and the Doom & Gloom Cavalry comes racing in to "pee on the parade".
I hope we do sell out, but with us it is simply about numbers. We simply do not have the student or alumni numbers others have.
When Copeland and Cavan came down to SA years ago for the event at Sonterra County Club with diagrams of the plans for Ford Stadium Copeland was asked why only 32,000 and not just build it right away with the 45,000 seats. They had stats which showed even in our Pony Express glory days the average attendance was still just a little over 30,000 (of course bigger games drew more, but we averaged only 30k). As they were asking us for money for Ford, rationale given was better to have a full 30,000 or so stadium that a 45,000 one that is only 2/3 full.
if we consistently averaged 30,000 now I would be happy. if we really starting winning it will be possible.
