Nice Guys

It has occurred to me that maybe we are too nice. I don't mean too nice like like Pee-Wee Herman (boy is that another story). I mean we are too nice in general. We do things like wear khakis and ties--things that could get you killed on a football field. Think about it. Yanked to the ground by a tie tackle. Way ouch! I digress. I am saying that we should be mean. Step all over people, just like Hollywood stars. Do you think Tom Hanks is really a nice guy? Me either. That guy would probably sell his mother if it made him another million. That's my rant for today. Food for thought.

Nacho, how is that post helping me, you ask. This is not a self-help board. I am not Dr Phil! I am not helping you, per se. I am just trying to help our team in its never-ending struggle to find acceptance, be it in a conference or whatever. The rant went on for an extra paragraph. Sorry.

Are you suggesting a name change for the Mustangs? ie MeanMothers or A$$Kickers?

I'm not sure how to respond to that. My suggestion has taken an unexpected turn.

I had a good salad today at Le Madeline, whick I refer to as Freedom Madeline.

I know a girl we call Freedom. She's not very nice. Maybe we can hook Nacho and her up.

yuck..I hate that place. Me being the country boy that I am we don't have places like La Madeline back home! Don't much care for them either!! lol..it basically comes down to SMU needing to totally RETOOL its public image as a snobby elitist snotty nosed white kid school. Now we do that by charging nearly 40K annually to attend is beyond me.

Talk about getting tougher and then admit you ate at LaMadeline's. Whoa boy. I hope you and the housewives had a pleasant midday repast.

I had never been to Le Madeline until they took Pony. Thank God for Pony. Their country potato soup is a sure-cure for hangovers Sat. and Sun. morning/afternoons.

Y'all need to run across the street and get yourself some 7-11 nachos, some beef jerky and a bottle of Wild Turkey quick!!!

While that froggie (the French kind, not the purple kind) restaurant does a divine strawberries Romanov, it won't help toughen up the ole' image...

All we need to do is win. Bear Bryant and Darrell Royal had teams that would kick one's arse with class. We can do that as well.

We don't need a Dennis Erickson for a coach. We have a class act in Bennett. We had an in your face hotdog coach with Bobby Collins. I was not proud to see our players doing some kind of tribal dance after making tackles. That isn't the SMU I want.
