DALLAS (SMU) - The DFW Metroplex sees little in the way of snow, and white-outs are few and far between. The SMU Mustangs are hoping to change that on Sept. 5th, however, as the SMU Athletic Department today announced a "WHITE OUT" for the season opener, when the Mustangs take on Stephen F. Austin. Fans attending the game are asked to wear white to show support for the Mustangs.

To aid in the effort, the SMU Athletic Department will distribute white adidas "All Grit. No Quit." t-shirts to the first 2,500 students and 500 faculty/staff members through the gates on gameday.

Fans are encouraged to get their tickets early, as this game is nearly sold out. For tickets, call the SMU Ticket Office at 214-SMU-GAME.
