Good god, I hope we do not have anyone who behaves like him on the faculty at Cox.

Turns out he is SMU faculty, a marketing professor at Cox. I wonder if this is Otter, with a big axe to grind.

The lack of leverage from SMU Cox on marketing is mind boggling. Their marketing efforts for the Cox school are pretty good.

I ask otter:

1. Do you know the budget allocated for marketing?
2. If so, is Orsini mishandling that?

until you can give concrete answers to those questions, your diatribes are easy to ignore and label as childish. We all are disappointed with attendance, but before you fix a problem you've got to at least know what you have to work with.

His first mistake was in thinking that very many people actually read the DMN. No offense to you Mustangbill.

Dear Otter,

I'm sorry, I'm not available to take your rant at the moment. I am in Boston trying to secure SMU's spot in the Big East. Upon my return I will be happy to focus my attention on any well-articulated, thoroughly developed ideas on the areas of marketing and attendance promotion as our presence in an AQ conference will finally allow the funds to address them. Until then, please enjoy the fact that for the first time since 1986 we are 5-1 and have a legitimate shot at being a top 25 team, have a drink to two and quit your whining.

I have an idea. How about we set up a new forum where everyone can [deleted] about attendance and marketing plans. That way when I come I to the football forum I can actually converse about football.

Sorry to [deleted] on your cornflakes boys. Just a little tired of the Orsini/Sutton propaganda machine taking over Ponyfans. Lowering expectations and attacking everyone who doesn't drink the Kool Aid.
