    30?  Why?  Oh, that's right, you're "The best dressed band in the Land".  So, looking good is more important than sounding good.*

    Do you still play "Sunrise, Sunset"?  Y'all have been playing that since at least 1980.  Worst choice of music for a marching band, ever.  Maybe you could book some Bar Mitzvahs in the off-season.

    * But you still look like a bunch of Carnival Barkers!

    "Step right up, see. Watch this Mean Green get whipped by a buncha Lil' Ponies, see. You won't believe it til ya see it with your own eyes! *creepy carny music* "

    Sunrise is in the book and played by the alumni group (I'm in that).

    'Sup @malonish

    To be further accurate, the Green Brigade has about half a dozen full sets, but will only ever deploy the one for a season. Major uniform manufacturers like DeMoulin, Fruhauf and Stanbury will constantly send the Wind Studies faculty and staff variations of prototype uniforms to test and pass judgment over. UNT Wind Studies is kind of a gatekeeper to all sorts of things like that nationally.

    Thanks for the info. Mustang Band is independent from the school music program (and majors not encouraged to join) so they don't have that Man keeping them down. Pepper in a few majors but mostly engineering students in my day.

    The Green Brigade is a marching band. A singular entity. The carnival barker uniform is a singular entity. The 30 variations of your uniform are not a singular entity. They are 30 singular entities, thus the quantity. We don't have 30 variations of the Green Brigade.

    I preferred wearing new combinations of uniforms over the same pieces each week. It made it feel different than High School Band but to each their own. One set means less crap to manage. I had to manage several jackets, pants, ties, etc.

    If you count the mismatched hot weather shorts, then thousands.  

    Touché. Can't beat large scale permutations like that.

    Ironic that SMU's is a small group of non music major volunteers and UNT is a large group from what I remember. Good volume from the green band.

  5. There is a national media article calling for the complete shutdown of smoo athletics due to a history of repeated cheating.

    Evidently smoo now hold the undisputed record of the most NCAA major infractions at 10, with an average of a sanction every 5.5 years. 

    What's the feeling on Ponyfans?  Do they mostly agree or disagree with the writer?

    Media figures that are going for click bait articles are assuming SMU Admins told Brown to tell someone to cheat as if it's the norm over here. The truth is there can be bad actors no matter how hard the compliance department works. In this case it was an assistant that I am assuming fell in some type of love with the student athlete and did his work for him as a favor. Even the NCAA report says Brown was not aware of her actions until after. The disagreements occur in discussing the facts after Brown heard about it. He gave the info to compliance to deal with it but NCAA says he should have done something more with the info he had. Also, his "lie" in the interview was an incomplete answer that he was able to complete 60 seconds later after talking with compliance. FWIW we deserve to lose scholarships and have Brown suspended for a while seeing as the rules state he is responsible for everyone in his employ.

  6. That's more like you.

     

    PS. I hate that you got a head injury, but since you're a SMU fan:

    PPS.  Head injuries are not funny, and I apologize for making fun.  Get well soon.

    Flag Football. Got under thrown on a go route and when I turned around and reached down for the ball I bounced the back of my head off the ground. :D

    A whole lot of bad stuff regarding that and school getting F'ed up on Football and BBall makes me think I could potentially be in a coma. Or not lol. Just gotta deal with it.

  7. i wish we really had footy here in america...love the sport...

     

    i understand the man is your coach, but how do you stand behind a guy and support someone who knowingly lied to the ncaa and has a history of burning his schools?  he has been great for smu, but are ya really surprised something like this has happened under his watch?

    In regards to the lie, at the presser post sanction announcement he clarified that he misspoke and corrected himself within 60 seconds. It was something along the lines of "Did you ever speak with KF about the online course" or something. They didn't like the omission  so they hammered him. They freely admit there is no evidence he called for the cheating himself but under the rules he is responsible. SMU has one of the most active and largest compliance departments in the country thanks to their history and will fight the assertion that there is not a culture of compliance in the program. That is how I can stand behind him. The SMU president who by all accounts hates(hyperbole) sport is even behind him.

  8. Congratulations on being the second to worst team in Texas, How's that new coach working out for ya?

    Going great. I didn't expect to win more than 4 games in the first year so I'm not sadface like the more delusional haters over here.

    "Haha SMUt, you guys are second to last lololol (don't mention how we are the last one though)"

    We lost to two top 5 teams and an FCS that could shut out UNT. Who've you lost to?

  10. UNT upper bowl? It's smuts stadium. Fill it with your own damn fans. Sorry that our 10k+ fans in your stadium didn't satisfy your expectations. 

    UNT had a better fan turnout than SMU could possibly have at an away game. UNT had the same population density with 40% of the arc of the horseshoe. Reported 25K population, subtract 3K for SMU number inflation, you get 22K. 12K SMU fans on 60% of the shoe + boxes + knoll, 10K UNT fans. Good turnout for both teams in each situation. If SMU does well I'd wager 500-1K go next year instead of yacht sailing.

    So your fans only travel to a game 45 minutes away if the team is good? 

    People don't knowingly sail on sinking ships.
