You, and every other pony fan I know. Would love to break those things out at some big game this year. Sadly, I don't think there's any chance of it happening.

Nobody "decided" on the whiteout - it's traditional!
No it's not. We also have had redouts. At least red is s school color.

Even if we played a no-name opponent, the SMU crowd usually shows up in decent numbers for the first home game of the season. I get sick of seeing the comments about how Tech will outnumber us, just like people said about any time we played TCU, aTm, etc. And sure enough, I've never seen a single pic of a big game with more opposing fans in Ford than SMU fans. Can we quit saying this already?
Have you ever seen the video where Tech fans are chanting across the stadium at each other? I believe the last time Tech played at SMU they might have outnumber SMU fans.

I was joking about how all of a sudden they call the whiteout at the home opener "traditional".
We seriously need to abandon all color outs because they are flat embarrassing.
Now - we may be able to start pulling them off in basketball but that is a different discussion.

I was joking about the black unis, not about the blackout though.
They even started its own twitter acccount.
#BlackoutSMU let's show them that #Texastech has the home field advantage even in Dallas

I wasn't at that game, so maybe there truly were more Tech fans than SMU fans. But the last TCU game I heard the same thing about how they were buying up all the tickets, and it would be a purple stadium, which ended up not being true.
I guess I just think that more than 15k SMU fans will come out for the home opener against an old SWC rival, and after a bowl (blowout) win over Fresno. Hope I'm right!

We were very smart/lucky for that TCU game, we scheduled Family weekend that weekend to ensure extra bodies, so probably an extra 8k in parents and family at that game.

I'd be willing to bet than 90+% of people on the boulevard for the next game would not be able to tell you who we played in the Hawaii bowl last year.

OK, fine, so you agree/disagree that 15k SMU fans will come out for the home opener against SWC rival?

That SMU-TCU game was 60-40 SMU, maybe more.
I expect Tech to be about the same. If we sell out, that would mean about 20k SMU fans and 12k Tech fans.

It could be 80% SMU fans and that might still be the case.
