Re: Generations of SMU FansMillenial here.
Part of the new guard.
Re: Generations of SMU FansClass of '05. Very, very few classmates understand my even reading about SMU sports. Frankly I don't understand it either.

Re: Generations of SMU FansGen X Law Grad
Was optimistic about SMU football when I first got here. At first, for some reason, thought SMU would be at the top of the WAC when the SWC disbanded. Then soon realized that the university didn’t really care and stopped following the team. Last game I watched for 14 years was the 1997 loss to TCU. Then I caught the last part of the 2011 win over TCU on the radio. Most excited I've ever been about a college football game, and have been following the team ever since.

Re: Generations of SMU Fans
Class of 2007 here--Completely agree with this Stallion post here and his post from earlier. In my opinion, Gerald Turner has done great things for the school, but once he is gone we need a better leader, not purely a slimy fundraiser. Thanks Gerald, but hit the road. I have seen nothing but horrible decisions with the football program since I became a fan in 1998. It is not easy to do, I understand. However, we are in Texas and I see TCU and Baylor becoming TOP 5 programs. I just want more than a 6-6 season. Once we get better leadership at the top that is not a complete [deleted] I think we will turn this thing around. We will have the nicest campus in the country in a booming city. It will work eventually. It's Gerry's fault we are in this mess football wise, but also the reason for the new buildings. He should have forced the CoC's hand. This head coach hire is important but so is our next President (2016 I believe). His lucky hire after multiple coaches declined him worked out (Larry Brown). Thank God or else we would be completely irrelevant.
Re: Generations of SMU FansI would take 6-6 right about now
Re: Generations of SMU FansRemember if Gerald goes, doesn't the BOT find his replacement? And if the BOT doesn't give a sh*t about SMU athletics, and isn't stocked with SMU grads who actually care about their alma mater, why on earth should we expect them to find anything even marginally better or more supportive than RGT?
Re: Generations of SMU Fans
This is what scares me too. There are several members of our BoT and the CoC who still have the battered wife syndrome that plagues this program. They have no real vision and no real plan to get us where we need to be. All the money in the world is pointless if you don't have the vision and drive to achieve greatness. With June they saw progress and I genuinely believe they felt a 6-6 or 7-5 season at SMU was as good as we could do. If that is truly the case then shut it down forever. We need leaders who will hold our programs to a standard of excellence. We seem more than happy to reward mediocrity even in the face of blatant disloyalty. I think what truly kills those of us younger alumni is that SMU has such tremendous potential. Beautiful campus, great city, wealthy donors, good academics, good (not great) facilities, etc.... To see how this program has floundered over the past 30 years is criminal. Back off Warchild seriously.
Re: Generations of SMU FansClass of 03...I remember graduating and thinking well, at least the football program can't get any worse.
Yeah.
Re: Generations of SMU Fans
If and when Turner goes, we all need to flood the BOT with messages about supporting the university both athletically and academically will increase the rankings and brand of SMU
Re: Generations of SMU FansGraduated in May of this year. When I took my visit to SMU in high school it was the spring semester after we beat up on Nevada and it was the most buzz I have ever seen for SMU football. Between that and watching Junes Hawaii teams on the west coast growing up I was sold on SMU being on the rise and its a big reason why I chose to come here over tcu. I still really believe that a good hire this year and a coach that can seek the students can bring people to the stadium.

Re: Generations of SMU FansClass of 10....didn't think things could get this bad again. Although several items indicated it was headed this way. Hope we make the right choices for our program and school in the coming weeks.

Re: Generations of SMU FansI thought SMU fired Hayden Fry or did he leave to take a better opportunity at NTSU? Sometimes the grass just looks greener elsewhere but it's really not.
Re: Generations of SMU FansHe was fired but although I doubt he knew it at the time, it was the best thing that could have happened. He had been at SMU too long and was beyond stressed with the demands on him. He got new life in a relaxed atmosphere at NTSU and then grew to great heights from there.
