2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket salesModerators: PonyPride, SmooPower Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket salesNo marketing department, no marketing budget, and no real history of winning in the last 20 years.
Continue winning, add in the big east money to bring marketing back, and folks will buy tickets to our home games. TCU has 25K season tickets and sold their allotment of 5K. given that same ratio, I would expect us to sell 2K to our bowl game, it is just the reality. And with all of the coaching hubub, it is going to hurt the number of folks that choose to travel for this one. I'll be there. I might pitch in and buy a couple of extra tickets to help make the numbers look better.
Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
I'm not really sure what this means? If people choose to go they will. My guess is 1000 maybe. No excuses b/c it is on a weekend, last year we had a 11am weekday bowl.
Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket salesyeah I get it. Not a priority to SMU fans-why should June Jones have to put up with?

Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
I know, Alex.
Re: Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
Well for those of us (I don't think this includes you stallion) that have been to 95-100% of the away games the last several years on top of the home games, I guess using your argument after seeing the turds laid at Tulsa Usm etc this year the fans could similarly ask why should they put up with it? And maybe they have. Some of them.
Re: Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
Stallion makes 1 road trip per season, and then post ad nauseum about each game (i guess to lay a smoke screen that he is making trips)

Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
he doesn't give them to the Purple People Seaters? Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally
Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
is TCU really a road game? Yeah, we're the visitor, but if it is possible to get there in half an hour, that doesn't count. Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally

You ask him
Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket salesi don't know why anyone would call out folks on pf.com. If you post on this board, you are already a pretty die hard fan and likely go to all the games you can. We are not the problem, so it really makes no sense to attack us.
The problem is the 95% of people who are associated in some way with smu that neither post on pf.com nor care about smu football. Young alums from the 1987-2007 will be the toughest to reach (IMHO) because they had nothing to cheer for for 20 years, and likely adopted some other team like LSU or UT or USC. Let's not push away the few loyal fans we have by attacking them on pf.com See you in Birmingham!
Re: Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
You got it. And the gen y of that group has more built in distractions and expectation of instant ROI be it a financial or emotional investment.
Re: Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
Yup, and there's a word for people like that: Front-runners. Used to work with a guy like that. When I asked him his favorite teams, this was his list: Lakers, Patriots, Yankees, UNC basketball, Alabama footall, etc. Personally, I enjoy the emotional wreckage from my SMU fandom. It will make it all the more sweet when we finally make it big time! Just like that Phillies world series I finally got.
Re: Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket sales
My god, I hope we don't have to wait that long to get to a NC. GO PONIES!!!
Re: 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl ticket salesHa me neither. Waited since 1980, but could be worse...I could be a cubs fan!!!
