Blackout said we're cheap.

I say if it ain't broke (and we are) don't fix it.

Music Videos on the scoreboard?

Sometimes I just wonder how some people can be so clueless. Big 12 money for TCU is now probably 10-15x what we are getting in conference revenue. Comparisons to any big 12 school considering any budget issue is officially silly. Does anyone in AAC or MWC spend more than we do on our program? I can tell you the answer is no.

Houston, Tulsa, Southern Mississippi and Nevada all have two helmets. Memphis has three. I just have a hard time seeing how they have bigger budgets. It's an honest question.

Oooohhhh. Great point!

The Mustang Band had better do a vintage 1983 set!

They keep changing them because they are all boring and nondescript. I'm not just saying that either - name me one helmet that is wholly original, creative, or stands out - one that will last and have the potential to be iconic, if only they had the team to sell it
Tulsa's cursive "Tulsa"?
Memphis's "M"?
The Southern Miss helmet that says "Southern Miss"?
I genuinely can't think of UNR's helmet right now, and I'm not going to google it. (Something is telling me it's an "N". Wow, isn't that something.)
All boring, all unoriginal. TCUs main design is a direct steal of the old Memphis State helmet with a tiger jumping out of a block MSU. No alternative helmet they've come up eith so far is ever going to be remembered. At least Air Forces other helmet looks like a fighter helmet - that's unique and awesome.
ALL OF THESE SCHOOLS ARE THROWING MONEY AT A PROBLEM (and some can't afford it) BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET IT RIGHT.
I don't want us to do the same - I don't want the helmet equivalent of those damned black jerseys. Better to do it right the first time.

[SMUer]

I like our helmets...but mirrored red throwback would get pretty killer...I was just surprised at the assertion that affording it was prohibitive.

Video games such as Pac Man and Donkey Kong in the stadium concourse

Money better spent on recruiting.

My email is [email protected]. Just send it over and we'll get the ball rolling

Nice to have you on the board, Dr. Lori White... Well played, BlackoutPony... Well played...

[Rayburn]

Wait ... the Mustangs are wearing BLUE JERSEYS?

[ponyinNC]

I'm with SMUer. I can't believe that USM, which has zero money for athletics, can have alternate helmets but SMU can't. That doesn't make sense.

But baby steps I guess. Blue throwbacks are a great start. Guess we will see chrome helmets in 10 years. Lol.

Jk SID. thx for posting here.

Just waiting for the announcement of a post game concert featuring: Motley Crue, Ratt & Poison

The Crue was just getting noticed in 83, I don't think Poison and Ratt had surfaced yet. From 80-83, RUSH had put out the Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, YYZ, Limelight and Subdivisions, just to name a few!

[LakeHighlandsPony]

Why do we need 2 helmets? aren't they both white with different stickers?? How hard is it to change stripes and stickers??
