Waiting isn't a big deal. I'm happy to have a laugh about foolishness on Scout.com boards- smack-talk is smack-talk, and I can take it for what it is if y'all can.

Lke I said, we moved up here literally a month before the hurricane hit, but we have plenty of friends all over Houston who have it rough. We're doing a food drive at my office to benefit the Fort Worth food bank because it's running low- they're all running low. I've already donated blood and am just trying to think of different ways to help the folks back on the Gulf coast, because Cougar or Mustang, we're all Texans. That may sound corny to y'all but if I cared, I wouldn't say it.  

We were big tailgaters at every single Houston home game and will really miss that now that we're up here, although we will get to go back for a few games in November. We were hosting friends who ran from the hurricane when we played at your stadium, so we didn't go to the game in all the craziness, but we had the internet radio feed on and were glued to it. We determined when we moved up here that we would go to the UH-SMU game because we won't let out Coogs be so close and not go see them.

Sorry for the ramble, but I really am just trying to think of a creative way to do something to help out folks who need it, and have fun at the same time.

And for what it's worth, at our house, we were really rooting for you against TCU... that bowl game loss we had to them last Christmas still stings.

On tailgating,

SMU does allow tailgating on campus, but if you are looking for traditional "tailgating" in a parking lot there isn't much to come by because there isn't much parking.  You are much better off parking the car somewhere and heading down to the main avenue through campus, Bishop Boulevard where everyone has tents set up.  Your best bet is to find some friendly SMU fans and trade beer for food and conversation.  As far as finding some open realestate and setting up yourself, I'm not sure how that works since I have a normal reserved spot to I drop in on.  You might call SMU and ask about that.

Thank y'all so much for the info and the phone number. I didn't realize parking was an issue at Ford, and that plae where the tents are all set up sounds like fun. Thanks again. Best of luck, except when y'all play us in October.
