Poor student attendance

We attract bums not future fans.. moochers not contributers.. You are right on different planets: I live in reality, you live in a dream. If you like handing money (food, drinks) to people who will not contribute anything than you are a great example of the U.S. Welfare system[/quote]
so you are in law school and business school? Just curious because you are an expert on both tents.

You're acting like a real jerk. I hope you someday are fortunate enough to be able to start contributing to the SMU community instead of just sucking life from it.[/quote]

Ok wow, I never thought someone would call me a jerk on a forum. I dont see how I am a jerk if I pay full tuition to the business school? My girlfriend is in the law school tent, which I go to when the business school runs out of food 30 minutes into the blvd, which is why i post my frustrations with the business school policies. If the business school can actually support an 1 hr and half of food each game, then I most likely wouldnt be upset or a "Jerk." But again can you explain how im sucking the life out of it when im pumping a very expensive tuition bill in it?

I mean when we to TCU they had alot of gates up to try to deter people going in. I will retract not lettting the opposing team in, but seriously wearing LSU at SMU? I mean c'mon man. Serving beer wont change anything, if it were that simple you would see the daily campus writing about it. You just need to stop giving the benefits (Vard) away before the costs (game). Yes I dont like freeloaders that arent from this school or the opposing team come in and eat. I mean thats why I like the law school tent because they never have food shortages. I hate having to fight my way to get food at the business school, because I remember one time 30 minutes into the vard, and they ran out of food. I mean if you are on scholarship not too big of a deal, but if you are paying all the fees to here which probably cover food; you dont want it to go to people you have no reason to be there.

I cannot tell what you really mean. Could you please label the sentences that you mean more clearly? I mean, it is hard to tell sometimes.

I dont know man Im not going to keep writing anymore about this issue. Im having to defend and refute the insult im given for my stance. Apparently when you dont agree with the majority you get swamped with insults

Your tuition does not pay for blvd food or drink. These are predominantly corporate sponsorships.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant though.

Look Im assuming that in some portion of tuition (referring to all $ amounts like student fees and sport package) goes to it.

Again Im giving up, I dont particularly like ranting on my own schools message board nor being the minority, so right now im just going to stop and respond only to the unnecessary comments

I graduated from the business school. I played on the football team. I share payment with some others for a Blvd spot. I contribute four figures to the Mustang Club. I buy season tickets for myself and others. So please tell me, am I allowed on the Blvd or not? And if I am, can I invite a friend because I did this weekend (and he will come back) and if I am not allowed I sure want to stay away so you can get your free meal.

Oh my ... gah, you are so frustrating, was my comments not clear from before. Obviously you have contributed and all that greatness, so of course beyond measure you can be there and your friend. Im talking about the people who are friends of smu (any school, organization, friends of alumni) which I have seen and heard. That they will come from around the area sit at table and say its so nice to have a meal here, and lets make sure to head out before everyone goes to the stadium. Those people I dont want to be there. The people who literally just come to walk/run over grab a drink and food and head out. Do you understand why that would make someone upset. My goodness I never said people who have contributed or friends of those (especially if those friends are going to the freaking game or on the blvd) shouldnt be allowed to go. Does this make sense because trying to explain this to people is tiring.

Im assuming you are referring to me, just put the username, but again thanks fellow alumni, clearly its just better to use ponyfans.com as more of a referance to any smu news rather than share criticism or thoughts. Thanks for clearing that up

Mestengo is not an alumni. he was one of those bums, that has stuck around and turned into a fan.

Either way I give up, just no point in any of this
