Don't call it a comeback,
We've been here for years,
Travelled the world and now we back with this.
Made a few enemies but more friends than we can count.
Got [GP] up in towns that I can't even pronounce.
And we've got nothing to prove got nothing to lose,
Do what the [GP] we want this is the life we chose.
And you can catch SMU at a show near you.
Know how we do stay true,
Because you haven't seen the last of us yet.
We're still here no you haven't seen the last of us.
[GP] ' haters no you'll never get the best of us.
We do it for the ones who,
You know who I'm talkin' bout if you ain't with us
take our [GP] ' names out your mouth.

If SMU is going to eventually get invited to a conference like the Big East, fans have got to start coming out of the woodwork and attend home football games.

Ford Stadium holds 32,000 people. At Saturday’s conference championship rematch against UCF, a game most of the team said was bigger than the TCU game, a crowd of 22,932 was announced in the press box. However, the stadium appeared less than half full.

“It was a great game to come out for. We beat the defending conference champs in a dominant way,” Zach Line said. “I don’t know where else you’d want to be on a Saturday afternoon. But that will come. I’m surprised that having the year we’re having, that our fan base has been so poor. Those true fans that are here will continue to come. They’ve been loyal through the tough times.”

What will it take to get more fans in the stands? The Mustangs have won their last five games and could be ranked this time next week. This is a Division I program on the rise. There’s not a more exciting time to be a part of a school.

SMU DB Ryan Smith on 5-1: "There's a buzz. Guys walkin different, talkin different, but not holdin heads up too high. We’re humble, hungry."
