Eric Dickerson Spoke The Truth

Postby smumustang1980 » Sun Sep 14, 2014 9:01 pm

Eric Dickerson spoke the truth - is this why his comments were controversial?

Some things he said were valid but I think when he started saying the he told his cousin not to come here was the part that upset a lot of Mustang fans.

No, he didn't. He's just an arrogant jerk who needed attention

Could you define his version of the truth?

I understand the hurt, but would you have recommended SMU over A&M at the time and given the circumstances? Don't blame Eric, blame an administration that has misled the fans, the athletes and the students for too many years. We need unequivocal support from SMU's President.

Will any of you work with us to make a difference? We need to send a unified message to President Turner. Are you interested?

I do not think that is accurate if you heard the interview. I do think he was upset about June being fired.

Anyone who has ever met the man on a personal basis knows this is absolute nonsense. Are you willing to work with us to make a difference? Will you help us lobby President Turner?

Agree, I met Eric when I was attending SMU and also a few years ago at a game. One of the nicest individuals I have met.

Will you define your passion and help us make a difference? Will you join our lobbying effort? As an alumnus, I thought it would be a good idea.

No, you are coming across as an arrogant jerk.

What are some of the specific points that you think need to be addressed?

Sure. I am making an effort to include other SMU fans in a lobbying effort. A joint effort is far more persuasive. Will you participate?

Look pal if you are going to indict the SMU President for not supporting SMU athletics you better damn sure come up with more than the empty crap you've been posting. I'm not against you making the claim but you have not written one fact supporting your cause. That appears to be a near unanimous omission of guys like you. Make your point-back it up with credible facts that survive critical analysis or shut the hell up
