SMU football will be home to Party City going forward (Photo)

The official home of Party City is now in Dallas, Texas with SMU football.
SMU football is best known for something way worse, but it’s now home to Party City.
Who doesn’t love a good turnover celebration? We love pimp canes, over-the-top shoulder spikes and gaudy chains. It may not have been an Austin Peay top hat, but the SMU Mustangs partied harder than when Eric Dickerson, Craig James and Lance McIlhenny were running train as Pony Express for Ron Meyer in the early 1980s before it hit the fan. Ladies and gentleman, Party City!

Dallas has not been this cool since Jimmy Johnson was ’bout them Cowboys.
There are good ideas, there are bad ideas and then there’s this. Playing football is Texas is a great idea on college Saturdays, especially when the Ponies Ginuwine-ly mount up. Warren G and Nate Dogg may have wanted to party like it’s 1999 with Prince, because he was Partyman. We may be living in the past a bit, but Dickerson, Doak Walker and hosting parties are all things we loved.
Though we used to have a Mayor of #Sacksonville in Calais Campbell, there is a new king in town. Introducing, 21st century Partyman Jimmy Phillips Jr. When he picked off Texas State Bobcats quarterback Brady McBride for a grand total of two yards, he might have known about his coronation as SMU Partyman. With Ulysses Bentley IV get them six, Party City was lit!
It does not matter how many games this season SMU wins. The only thing that matters is the Mustangs force at least one turnover a game. Being that they are Mustangs, they must because you can’t spell Mustangs without must. So mount up and keep getting them turnovers like you’re hungry from something sweet at Arby’s. “Sir, this is an Arby’s.” “I don’t care, it’s Party City, baby!”
Though they will find red, white and blue confetti in every crevice of their uniforms, looking like they had themselves a great time celebrating America on the Fourth of July, let’s just hope glitter doesn’t get sprinkled into the party mix. Otherwise, it’s gonna get in your eyes, get in your mouth, get on your mask or gaiter and you’re going to have a bad time. That’s a party foul in Party City.
We can’t all win all the time, but when it’s time to party, party hard like Andrew W.K. told us to.
