Dallas fans are catching Âé¶¹Éç fever

So great is the enthusiasm for the Mustangs that for the first time since the stadium was built in 2000 Âé¶¹Éç has sold out all of its premium seating for the 2010 season.

SMU's 8-5 season a year ago has given its fanbase a sense of optimism it hasn't had in more than three decades.

The Mustangs completed their first winning season since 1997 and their first eight-win season since winning 10 games in 1984. Last year also was the Mustangs' first bowl berth since ™84, which has much of the fanbase wondering how far this team can go under third-year head coach June Jones?

So great is the enthusiasm for this team that for the first time since the stadium was built in 2000 -- and probably the first time since the Pony Express took the field in the early 80s -- Âé¶¹Éç has sold out all of its premium seating for the 2010 season.

That™s right. All 29 suites and 731 club seats in Gerald J. Ford Stadium are gone for the entire year.
