this has been rehashed so many time... sigh. Wearing white will only accentuate how few of us there are.

Wrong, it will make our few look even fewer because the layman will say, wow SMU fans (students) in white, so the rest must be Tech people. Are we going to change our school colors for every team we play, god forbid the place looks sold out with red clad SMU fans...

We take one step forward and two steps back, will SMU ever get it right?

I know they are trying to plan but is it not a bit late to send this out? I have already packed my bags and a white shirt is not included.

Just got my box of stuff I ordered for the family to wear to the game. Blue, blue, blue. Me: red. That's what I do.

Memo to SID/Marketing folks: next time hit us up sooner than 4 days before the game.

True that

I AGREE with us all wearing Red, or Blue, then it will look like everyone in a sold out stadium is wearing OUR colors (which happen to be RED & BLUE, and not RED & WHITE). Then we need an aerial photo of the full stadium and smack it on the front of next year's media guide !!!

Could this mean that the team will also be wearing white and force the Raiders to wear their black?

I've never been a fan of "white outs" at sporting events. I thought it looked stupid when the Phoenix Coyote fans did it and even dumber when the Miami Heat fans did it a few years ago. I'm not going to make the game (but will be there for the UCF game and the Boys/Skins game in November), but will be wearing my blue SMU t-shirt and watching on CSTV all access. Pony Up!
