For those that posted about the possibility of Thaddeus producing a video in a couple of other threads I want to start fresh on the Video Project to give y'all the latest news.

As many of you know Thaddeus was at the A&M game with his photographer. He came down to film for our project. After some discussion, we determined that since the intro video had already been produced, the best use of Thaddeus' talents was to make a video promoting the team and pitching ticket sales for each of the home games. Thaddeus will be down again this weekend to get more material and promises to have a great product for the school, and we all know he will deliver in spades.

Brad Sutton, SMU SID, agreed not only to show the video during the game, but also give us time on the Stampede. This offer is very significant in that the school is selling the ad time, so to run this during the show is a great opportunity for us. While we got lots of input, we had to make an executive decision on how to present it, and I believe we can not only get people pumped up about SMU football, but also increase the chance of getting folks out to games.

Thaddeus will be talking to Brad tomorrow to iron out the details. So, now it is incumbent upon me as the guy who pushed it to start on $ collection. I have a list of guys who pledged and am hopeful everyone will fulfill their pledge. I will post the list not to put pressure on guys, but to reaffirm the amount and commitment to the end product. Anyone who is uncomfortable with their pledge, let me know by PM. Anyone else who wants to get in feel free to chip in.

We promised $5K and Thaddeus will deliver more than $5K in value. AND HE IS A PONYFAN BROTHER. So let's fulfill our promise to him and the school.

I will follow up with the donation mechanism when it is finalized, likely thru the athletic department.

Thanks to Thad, Brad & Tim at SMU, Nick17, and all the guys who pledged and got excited about this effort.

We need to clone Thad so there's about 50 more of him running around. He's simply awesome.

that would be a pricey bar tab, or tabs

If I have a cameo shot in this I will donate.

Update (now that we got the A & M venting out of our system):

Tim said he would have an answer today as to how ponyfans can contribute to Thaddeus' video commercial and receive the benefits of donating through the school. Thaddeus is shooting some more video tomorrow at the game for the project. Since the wheels are moving, it is collection time.

Mestengo - I always liked you better than OTP anyway. Will there be a funeral for OTP?

Thanks for upping the donation. As a personal friend of the director, I am sure we can arrange a cameo. SMUBaller - thanks also for stepping up.

Provide details as to whom and where we send the money as I seem to be missing this information.

Well the cannon killed him. He was cremated and flushed to sea.

You know I prefer OTP. Mestengo gets a little fiesty sometimes.

We're going to have a big tailgate set up tomorrow with bud light girls handing out beers and sponsored margarita machines. Should be a good turnout. Thad, feel free to swing by to get some good footage!!! Across from north part of Meadows.

Pocono. I am still working on that thru Tim of the Mustang CLub. I didn't want to set up a paypal account if we could collect thru the school. As soon as everything is set up, I will be sending out notice.

Mrydel - Feisty will be good tomorrow.

aaives481, Thad has got to get that footage of Mestengo first.

Don't worry I won't be in it
