Seems to me there is a track ringing the field at UT-Austin.


Don't bring reason into arguments with sfa peeps, it just confuses them.

I have one extra for you. I will be at or around the Bus Stop.


I have one extra ticket too. I'll by the Bus Stop/SD as well.

I never said it was heresy to doubt that we could do a sellout. Everyone, even the people who volunteered to help, probably had doubts. What I called you out on was that after the newspaper reported less than 1000 tickets remain, yours was one of the various voices saying it could not possibly be true. You said, "Obviously, we will not sell out and we will not set an attendance record." That doesn't sound like doubt, that sounds like certainty.

To what end? We don't need a gazillion Captain Obviouses reminding us over and over again that a sell out is an unlikely goal for SMU given the attendance track record, the current state of the program, and the opponent. I know this, all the other volunteers know this, and every SMU fan who hasn't been in a coma for 25 years knows this. If you'd asked me (since I don't make a secret of my real identity) you would know that I don't have blind faith, don't have undying trust in the administration, and have not booked my flight to Hawaii. I don't think I'm a sunshiner, I just don't feel the need to pi** in everyone's cheerios and bring everyone down in every single thread. You don't do that all the time like some others, but your post was just the straw that broke my back.

I just don't understand what good it does to repeat our doubts and disappointments over and over, especially when the original poster was reporting a news story that should have been good news for SMU fans.

SFA's average attendance is 8,000 a game. Whooptie doo. Avereage attandance as a percentage of capacity is a shade over 50%.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Isn't that the area for those playing on the "other team" (and not meaning the team on the other side of the field)?


I think you need to explain this to me in person tomorrow.

Gent on the left? I guess it is impressive that you are on the football team, but you are much too tiny in that picture to see much way in the background.
