Geez, Smu Stadium Is Empty

[stebo]

So I am watching their game - it came on CBS-C after the Army/NT game. It is empty in there. Can't be more than 8K people in there. How is that possible? They spend $2 million a year on a coach, they win 9 games (including a bowl game), and they launch a sell out the stadium campaign - and on top of all this they have a Pac 10 school in town for a home game - and STILL, they can't get a crowd. Is this why the SW conference broke up? It's sad really - we are 5-34 over the last 4 years and we have good crowds. If you are an SMU fan, you must be confused. If you are one of those boosters, you must feel dissapointed with the return on your emotional investment. Turn the game on if you have that channel, tell me how many fans you see. It looks like 8k-10K to me (and that is being pretty generous)

It is just an observation. I really could care less about Dodge and Co. You won't see a "Fire Dodge" thread from me. I was commenting on the fan base. Our fan base as compared to their's.

Doubt anyone will be there on a sunday

Try after halftime Nov 6. If there are more than 5k in attendance I'm buying everyone on board a free taco

[UNT90]

Hell, be there Oct 3 and you might see a better game!

I'm on my gazillionth beer. I did mean Oct 2

[All About UNT]

Noticed the same exact thing...10k...tops

[oldschoollefty]

I think the point of this thread is IF we were in the position SMU is, coming off a winning season and a bowl win, we would be enjoying record attendence whether it be Fouts or any other stadium.

Does June Jones realize he's in Dallas? He looks like a crazy person wearing that lei.

Do K-State fans count towards the 5k? I would like a free taco.

Nov 6th is the Troy game;) but I'll tell you what , you sit through the whole Troy game and I'll buy you all the tacos you want !

Should be pretty ugly by half. Troy would probably beat Army by 30

Is this game on tv ?

[gangrene]

Yep, same station that had the NT game, CBS College Sports Network. It's halftime now though.

[Green Mean]

SMU has been terrible for a really looooonnnngggg time. Not to mention they are less than a third of UNT's size. Their fans will come at some point because June Jones will only increase the program.

[Rudy]

I'll be there. I'm calling you out on the tacos

[NT03]

Save this thread , I will buy the tacos !
