Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with itAfter somewhat sobering up, I realize I failed to mention losing a 20 point lead in the last 4 minutes of the 1980 Holiday Bowl. BYU 46 SMU 45. Again, it's always us, always SMU.

Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with itwe'll never know, but I would be shocked if Mudiay had chosen to play college ball at UK instead of SMU that he would not be playing college basketball this coming season (UK decision) instead of being forced to play in Europe (SMU decision).
Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with it
Couldn't agree more. To the drunken rant I will add watching TCU and Baylor celebrate conference championships and BCS bowl appearances while the best we can hope for is 7-5 with our home games 1/3 full for opponents no one cares about.
Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with itGood history lesson
Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with itSee a court decision in the early 80s I think that gave broadcasting rights (= $$$$$$$$$$$) to
the individual schools instead of the NCAA as a whole. That blew apart the fairness of NCAA Div 1 major sports True amateurism of the NCAA major sport athlete was lost Might've been our panicky rationalization for going ahead with the cheating Last edited by PlanoStang on Tue Jul 15, 2014 8:16 pm, edited 2 times in total.
May the forth be with us.
Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with itWe'll never know the answer to why...
But it definitely made it appreciate the 2009 season more. It definitely made me appreciate traveling to Birmingham to see the Ponies in a bowl game for the first time in my lifetime LIVE in person more. And it most certainly made it appreciate last season's basketball season plus the NIT run more. I haven't seen everything from the 80s obviously and SMU football/basketball has been absolute crap for nearly all of my 25 years. Still doesn't make me any more less excited for this upcoming basketball season (and the years following).
Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with it….and we'll all be back here next week hopeful as ever. It's what we do.

Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with itThe only lucky break we have had is LB, did we mention the break up of the BE while we are at it?

Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with it
The funny thing is, we didn't even want LB (me included, in 2012- oops!) He just came here and crammed success down our throats, whether we liked it or not 2005 PonyFans.com Rookie of the Year Award Recipient
Re: drunken rant forthcoming so deal with it
Yep. Me and most here were skeptical. I think we were a all jaded with our horrible coaching hires in the past - Shunmate, (leaving out Demint cause he had limited success), Tubbs, and Doh - not to mention all the FB coaching hire failures. We expected the worst. Glad LB fell into our lap. An atheist is a guy who watches a Notre Dame-SMU football game and
doesn't care who wins. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
