Wednesday's Luncheon - Raise a question!

[jtstang]

Challenging Turner would be kind of funny. The guy raised a friggin' fortune for SMU and SMU is doing academically about as well as it ever has. He's easily the best SMU president since Willis Tate (there's a reference for ya). The guy is bulletproof. And if he gets the Bush library, he'll be able to walk around campus without pants and nobody will care. After the Bush LIbrary, the next thing will be the centennial fundraising campaign. After that, they will be naming buildings after Turner.

And if Cheney gets elected next time, and he can get his library, think how he'd be able to walk around campus being the guy who got the Bush and [deleted] libraries together.

You're on a roll jt.

Dooby,

Dr Turner is a great President for SMU, I am not disputing that. I also understand that a university is primarily about academics, not athletics. I have an SMU degree in business and am proud of it.

But my question concerning our football program, while tough, is a legitimate one.

I have sat in many a board meeting. Trust me; questions can be a lot harsher than this one, even for people who are bullet-proof.

Thanks, PK, I thought that one was gonna get panned unanimously...

Which is why I would direct those questions (nicely) to Dedman, Hunt and to Ford, who really are the only ones that can make Turner sweat.

Cheney's library or papers would likely be located at the Univ. of Wyoming, where he received his B.A. and M.A., where he grew up and was a congressman for 11 years. More importantly, from a constitutional perspective, it is where he is registered to vote as the President and Vice President cannot be from the same state.

Dooby...lighten up. I think that one just went sailing over your head.

I am more of a Bush fan so I would love to get Bush. Who couln't use a little Bush.

[deleted] is not my thing, so Wyoming is a much better location for [deleted], however I would not be surprised to see [deleted] in the Bay Area.

Aw hell, I learned something. I didn't know a president and vice president couldn't be from the same state. I guess I slept through High School Gov't. The only thing I remember was our gov't teacher showing us the the "I'm Just a Bill" cartoon from School House Rocks.
