Right after Navy flyover, SMU shot off fireworks which caused a fire in the dead grass on the south end. Finally someone realized to turn on the water sprinklers after much smoke. So the saying was that Navy napalmed the South end zone.
Haha thats hilarious, if anyone has a video of that they should upload it
that was back before we carried video cameras on our pockets.

Getting to the stadium BEFORE kickoff is a huge issue with having such a huge tailgating scene just outside. I think most people (those planning on attending at least) are thinking "Ok, Kickoff is at 230, and it's a 5 minute walk, I still got time".
The team runs out of the tunnel to maybe a couple thousand fans sometimes. Get there for the national anthem, alma mater, and tunnel entrance!

Vote for Adam Still today. He's close and your vote could put him in the lead.

Yeah, does anyone even go out there? Sounds kind of fruitless.

Keep boulevard, just give it a 15-30 minute window to pack up and head over

no no not enforce it but just for people like me who would like to spend 2 hours out there and have some time to get to the stadium you know, should be a min of 2 hours of vard and optional 15 minutes to get to the stadium

History Professor Jim Hopkins suggests eliminating the Boulevard in favor All-School Carnival with jugglers and Clowns like they had at Cambridge
