Times Square on December 13, 2011.
When it comes to sports, Southern Methodist University has a lot to be excited about right now.
On Thursday afternoon, SMU had an event at the Hughes-Trigg Student Center to celebrate its BBVA Compass Bowl victory and joining the Big East Conference.
SMU President R. Gerald Turner was in attendance at the celebration, as was Big East Commissioner John Marinatto, SMU Athletic Director Steve Orsini and members of the SMU coaching staff.
