I bet more know that TCU is in Fort Worth than SMU is at 75 and Mockingbird.
I've even heard UNT commercials on The Ticket, no SMU.
At least the TCU commercial on The Ticket mentions the SMU game.

Did anyone get a little stirred up when U of Dallas had that bilboard on 75 "2 Rhodes, Zero Heismans" or something similar?

This billboard had to have gone up over the weekend, because it wasn't there a few days ago.
Maybe this will get some dollars flowing to our own non-existent marketing efforts. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Direct line of sight from it to Ford.
How can those slackers in our Marketing Department let this happen?
what an embarrasment. Of course it's deliberate, just like the "Little Sisters of the Poor" billboard in Ohio State. They have smart people in their marketing w/ a budget, we don't have either.
Anyone have a red and blue powerful paint gun?
