Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
My folks have gone to most every single SMU home game this year, and they're all ready to pony up for 2010 season tickets following this evening's 26-21 win over Tulane. Big Hersch, who enjoyed the extra legroom during this less-than-sold-out Saturday, is a Mustang Class o' 66; his good pal and car-pool buddy this season's been Don Woodward, who was an All-American swimmer on the Hilltop in the late 1950s. The two of 'em are awful proud of the team's return from death-penalty wasteland in advance of its first bowl game since '84; so too is the head coach, as evidenced by his post-game comments.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
