2022 football schedule announced

[ALEX LIFESON]

AA, my thoughts exactly.

RGT wont leave this early in his final Capital Campaign, this is his legacy.

We know RGT is adverse to change.

Don’t see RGT dismissing his lapdog, nor do I see his lapdog finding better employment.

Yet Alex is credible.

Questions, Questions.

Agree, I doubt RGT leaves before he gets the opportunity for one last victory lap, from the Capital Campaign...waaaay to many photo ops and speeches to pass up. Little Rick is a different story. Let's just say Sonny Swoon lying to BMD's....has lit a fire under our power brokers....and that is a great thing for the Mustangs.

I remember my old SWC buddies teasing me about SMU having "the best team money could buy" in the years before the death penalty (although my Aggie co-worker who was pretty well connected had to confess his jealousy). We can only hope the BMDs as you call them are back and fired up to make a statement, now that it's all above board.

Wow. Tough schedule which is not a bad thing.
But as for the home games, the only game that is a confident win is Lamar.
The others, we are definite underdogs in each one.

It will be interesting to see how we do this season. Hundreds of superlatives were thrown out as to how great these coaches are regarding performance and recruiting. However the proof is in the results. I expect us to win at least 8-9 games. If not we are worse off than previously.
Looking forward to the games this year.

I don’t know about that. Per Sagarin, we were better than TCU. Navy, and Memphis last year. Cinci will be tough, but we should be slightly favored against Houston. I see one game where we’ll be a dog.

SMU AD Rick Hart has been appointed the as the new Athletic Director Chair for the American Athletic Conference.

AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco: "Rick has had a distinguished career at SMU and I look forward to working with him as we navigate this transformative period.”

Alex (and Jason for that matter), does the above change your opinion in any way that Hart is not long for the SMU world. I think he wouldn’t accept this post if he knew he was leaving

old saying- birds of a feather.... So sad, but obvious one loser wants company so he adds another on to his staff.

I would be stunned if there is any support from boosters to extend Hart's contract. The reseat was the first straw, and then being left out of the Big 12 is on him, and then he was removed from the equation with the Dykes and Jank replacements. MAYBE if Luck came in and evaluated and said that other things need to change outside of Rick. But that is the only reason he would stick around.

[ALEX LIFESON]

I personally don't know of any "Big" boosters, that are happy with Little Ricky. He is the Beta hiding in the back of the room, when SMU needs the exact opposite. His contract runs until the 30th of this month.....it will be interesting either way. I stand by my comment about The Fountainhead (RGT)....way too many photo ops await, until the Capital Campaign is over.

[PK]

Maybe the Athletic Director Chair for the American Athletic Conference is an administrative position that doesn't require the person to be an active AD. Just a thought.

[EastStang]

He is the chair of the Committee of Athletic Directors. He is not leaving. Great schedule. If we can win early, we can crack the Top 25. If we win late, we can stay there. Put a big circle around UCF, Cincy, Houston and Memphis.

[Otto]

I agree with those who have said that if Hart is going anywhere, he would not have accepted the position.
