Re: If Big12 knocking would you goOne reason why you say no B12.
Re: If Big12 knocking would you goWould we be one of the bottom feeders in the Big 12 if we joined?

Re: If Big12 knocking would you go
Me too. The Big 12, SEC, that's real big-time. TCU trumped us again.
Re: If Big12 knocking would you go
I'd take it in a heartbeat. Look how long Baylor was a Big 12 "bottom-feeder." They're big boys now. No question.
Re: If Big12 knocking would you goOf course we'd go. With all due respect to David Miller and the others who genuinely care about SMU basketball, football drives everything.
Baylor is not a "big boy." They caught lightning in a bottle with Superman disguised as RGIII, but I expect them to come back to earth (i.e. middle of the pack) now that he's headed to the NFL. It's sort of like when UT had Vince Young: he couldn't throw very accurately, but was such a ridiculous athlete that he carried the Cows to a title. RGIII had the same effect in Waco. He's Superman, but with an accurate arm and a brain, too.
Re: If Big12 knocking would you goIn a heartbeat. Travel would be easier on teams and fans.
GO MUSTANGS!
Re: If Big12 knocking would you go
I don't really care about the money or the more difficult path to a BCS game. I am fired up to play some meaningful games throughout the season. No more Wyomings, SDSUs, UNLVs, New Mex, Colo States on the home schedule - I'd rather lose a few more games than sit through more games against teams with no more than 100 visiting fans in the stands. I doubt teams in the Big East are going to be of much more interest to SMU/Dallas fans than CUSA and I doubt they will travel much better. That's why the Big 12 is a no-brainer to me.
Re: If Big12 knocking would you go
I've got to agree with ReedFrawg. BE will help restore interest in SMU BB and you only need about 9,000 to fill up Moody, but it won't do much for the football program other than providing more cash. Having said that, I would rather be in the BE than CUSA. B12 will never ask SMU to join as long as UT is part of it...so we don't really have to worry about answering the question. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

and speed. GO MUSTANGS!
Re: If Big12 knocking would you go
Not for long..I bet they win 6-7 games this year. Especially with a Phil Bennett D
Re: If Big12 knocking would you goWith their first loss at home to SMU
Had a Baylor friend tell me RGIII decided to stay....I told him so did Bennett All Out
Re: If Big12 knocking would you goAbsolutely yes. Not just for the obvious increase in money but for being a visible member of this region's top college conference. Bringing in teams like UT, Baylor, Tech, TCU, Oklahoma, etc will bring a TON of attention and exposure to SMU. I just don't see why we wouldn't do it, especially since I would think the whole BCS formula is about to be dramatically changed.
Realistically though, unless SMU becomes the next TCU or Boise State, I don't see why they would ever want us.
