Saturday's activities?

Post by Arkpony »

Can someone post the schedule for Saturday? Practice times? Will there be lunch served for Mustang Club members? I plan on coming down for it.

There is a garage sale? going on from 10am - 2pm. I'm assuming just SMU gear. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to sell away all the old adidas gear.

I find nothing about it on the official SMU Mustang site so I assume no one in authority is treating this any different and just another practice, with no inviting of fans to witness it. That is rather sad. Not sure I will make a trip to witness "just another practice". And I do understand Coach doesn't hold blue/red games, but I recall at one time they served lunch to the Mustang Club members and treated it more than another practice session.

seriously last time I went they hadn't even run a single play from scrimmage-after about an hour - I left. They just were grouped by position coaches running drills. Complete waste of time. If they aren't going to have contact they could at least have plays from scrimmage. In was embarrassed for SMU that recruits actually came to this thing compared to the types of Spring Games put on by our competitors. Good luck on the Garage Sale though

It's a practice. Larry Brown oughta be there - he LIKES practice. I like practice. I know there won't be a game or even a scrimmage so I won't be disappointed and I certainly won't whine. It is what it is.

At the grounbreaking for the new dorms last week Turner mentioned that they are trying to group as many activities as possible on Founders' Weekend in the future. He mentioned that he was hoping to have some sort of spring football event associated with Founders' Day. So, there is potential that it could evolve into something more exciting than just practice in the future I think. I do not recall exactly how he worded it, but that is the gist.

It would be interesting to see how many "top 25" football programs have a spring game but for some reason, JJ feels that it's not needed. There is the "top 25 way" and the JJ way evidently........

Been to them before. I just thought I remembered the Mustang Club had lunch for the spectators. Maybe that was Jones first final practice however. I just don't remember.

I think that was it Judge. I few in and out the first year. Had some good BBQ but the practice was just that. Nothing to see on the field. I do not think there have been lunches since then. I would go if I were in Dallas for sure but I cannot justify the trip from here.

The athletes look as bored as the fans during the position drills...as do the recruits...I'll go to be a body but it really doesn't look like much thought is made to make it anything more than it is: an open, non contact practice. At the very least you'd think they could wear last year's unis and clean helmets without the decal. Nope, last year you saw pants and jerseys from the last Nike era on the field.
