SHSU Billboard/Downtown FW!

[PlummMeanGreen]

WALA! As I am driving in from Hurst on Airport Freeway 121 this weekend going into downtown Fort Worth and what do I see as I cross the Belknap bridge coming into downtown? How about a billboard promoting Sam Houston State University with an action football shot of one of their Bearcat football players; also had a 1-888 number for more info. Selling football tickets from a billboard for a college located over 3 hours away from DFW?!?!?

Damn! IF SHSU can do this, can't other schools located right here in the Metroplex do the same? Wonder how much that billboard would cost per month? Has a great location. Congrats to SHSU on their Metroplex marketing pro-activity.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS IN THE METROPLEX: It's all about continuous marketing here in the Metroplex, even if your football team is playing for a conference championship and bowl game appearance in its last home game, hence, 16,400 attendance at Fouts for that game? It took some of us a few decades to figure this out when it concerns marketing your collegiate sports product here in the Metroplex, hope others lend an ear to those who have been around this neck of the woods during all that time.
