Thanks for the link but pretty weak summary. Interesting title for the page;

"Get caught up on your favorite Texas NCAA college football teams - Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, A&M, Longhorns and more with the Dallas Morning News"

With the home town paper we are relegated to the "more" category. With that kind of local media support it is a wonder we can sign anyone at all.

Thank you for the list PP.
Some of these receivers have a list a mile long. Hope the others pan out. Who where the two we lost? I thought I saw more linemen before.

Go Mustangs Beat Cornell!

What about the Southlake guys and our other "hard" commits. Are they reneging, trolling for better offers, shy, sign today or waiting for other reasons?

Southlake guys say they are firmly committed but will sign on the regular National Signing Day - Southlake has a tradition that all signees sign together on the NSD in the spirit of teamship

I think it is quaint that you think anyone even pays attention to newspapers anymore. I honestly don’t know anyone who still takes the DMN.

So the national media is all over SMU football? Sorry I missed it. BTW I thought the link was to a web page. If you click on a link that page of the paper is delivered to the door? Man I am out of date.
