Billboard at 75/Knox by Dickey's - more to come.

The Marketing Arm Is setting up a marketing campaign. As I get more info I will share.

They will be using Thad's Ponyfans video, Your City, Your Team, once we get some details worked out. Which is why I know about it.

Y'all are going to be happy with what they are working up for us.


Are you sure? We're never happy with anything!

yeah, good point, but they will be doing some things about what we complain about.

I'm not going to belabor the point because of a new AD-but from a marketing viewpoint you would barely have noticed SMU has a Football team that starts the season in 2 weeks. I assumed we were going to market the hell out of entrance into Big East even this year. Not so much.I'm not sure what I expected but with the Big East and the best non-BCS schedule in the Country this ain't it.

I hate to complain but including a picture of a player would've been nice. The design/layout of the board isn't the best. There's a disconnection between SMU Is and Dallas' Team.

In case you've forgotten The Thadsta's Video



BTW, on the other forum site, which is unmentionable here, we can embed much higher quality videos from vimeo, espn, espn deportes, google, and flash right in the post without have to provide a video url and having to click to view on another site.

PF, the youtube embedding is so old that you need to update and modernize like those other guy's unmentionable site.

... and as far as Official Game Day threads PF may need to make amends with the "OFFICIAL GAME THREAD STARTER".

Just sayin'!

Hope everyone who pledged money to The Thadsta for this commercial honored their commitment and paid the "Honey Badger"!

it's definitely a start and I am grateful -- look forward to more and the connection with "Thad's" video.

some things to note: I would have put Margus, Zach, DJ, and Garrett on there to market our best players - no mention of football at all, 1st home game is when? -- as Stallion put it, a little too late with less than 2 weeks away but better than nothing.

The AD change may explain the late start, but I believe our visibility in DFW will be increasing soon. Late is better than never. Now let's win a big game or two to really get things going.

I love the billboard...but I still feel like we need to put a football player on it so people go "Oh yeah, football! They have that!" lol

HB,

Will be by to visit. I was going to post the video, but glad you beat me to it.

I am sitting with the Thadsta now at the nodding donkey - scheming. You coming to any games this year?
