So, Is the front lawn of McFarlin Auditorium the place to be. I'm bringing several first timers

and although this is an away game, I would like to get them excited about coming to more

games. If there are other gathering places for "MEAN GREEN FANS" please post locations.

Thanks!!!!

I would take advantage of the lots right next to McFarland. You could probably find parking elsewhere on campus but a lot of it is strictly NO gameday parking. Ten minutes walking from the stadium should put us far enough out that we're not mixed up with the rest of the rush.

can I park at the DART station and walk? Is that too far? Will there be a shuttle?

It looks like its about four blocks from Mockingbird Station to the stadium. Not too far to walk, but you do have to cross the bridge over Central Expressway. There's a lot of traffic on the service road around there.

But SMU says they do run a shuttle bus service to and from the stadium and Mockingbird Station.

I suggest the following to anyone interested. It is what I will be doing myself.

I will park at a DART station up the line (no traffic problem) and take the train to Mockingbird Station. I will then proceed to have a few beers at Trinity Hall and prepare myself for the arduous crossing of Central Expressway, which is the only barrier between the train and the stadium worse than ordinary sidewalk. I estimate the distance from the train to the visitors' side of the stadium to be five blocks max and there are numerous watering holes on the journey if one should feel the need.

After the game, I will retrace my steps and catch the next northbound train out of there, thus avoiding the traffic jam.

Just a heads up: If you are going to park at the Dart station you better get there early. Everyone and there dog parks there. Also do not attempt to park in any shopping center. THEY WILL TOW YOUR CAR AS YOUR GETTING OUT OF IT. If you want to make it easy on yourself. Drive to Plano or somewhere and got on the dart rail. Its like 6 bucks round trip and you wount have to fight the traffic.

I drove by the location earlier today to scout it out and it looks like there is ample parking. There is a HUGE lawn there to set up shop. It seems the easiest (maybe only convenient) way to get there is to go down Hillcrest and turn into the campus on McFarlin...it's actually on Boaz...and let it wrap around onto the front of the building.

Emmitt, do you think setting up tents on that lawn is ok?

BTW, you were playing catch next to my tent last Saturday and didn't even stop to say hi.

Actually, it's only $2.50 for a Day Pass, which you can purchase at any DART rail station. The Day Pass is good for any and all rail travel until 3 a.m. the next day. The SMU shuttle will pick you up at the station, so it's much easier to avoid traffic by taking the DART rail.

Loads of the Mean Green punch made up and ready to consume. First come, first served.

Warning: Don't bring your girlfriend/wife/significant other near the Mean Green punch unless you plan of keeping them around for a good while. Mean Green Punch is not the original name of this drink and it has been known to have adverse effects on people of the fairer sex. (Adverse for them, good for the guys :P )

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
