While realignment ushered in fear for some, all the moving parts and uncertainty equaled opportunity for SMU. Now, the Mustangs are on the verge of achieving the big-picture goal they targeted in August. Barring a last-second snag or glitch, SMU will be one of the half-dozen schools receiving Big East...

Now we need to capture a "lost generation of fans," as one of the coaches said to me an hour or two ago.

Should we bait traps for them with jack daniels and food from 1&10?

Alcohol sales in the stadium would be a start. All students love the Boulevard, most students attend Boulevard. The Boulevard shuts down, most students leave. Boulevard has alcohol, stadium does not. Bring the Boulevard crowd into the stadium by adding alcohol...

there would be a ton of hoops to jump through with HP before we could do that. it's not as easy as just saying that we're doing it. there are really only a handful of schools that have in-stadium beer sales in gerenal admission.

Alcohol - Always the solution, never the problem.

Also need to figure out a way to get the current generation of students to go into the game after the 'vard rather than heading over to the Barley House.

We need to offer a free course called "Flask Basics 101".

How about force? We can round them up with the police and force all students into the game. Those that refuse have to a re-education class until they can get their priorities straight.

Would live beer sales.......but it wouldn't boost attendance. It's a cultural problem not an alcohol problem
