Free Larry

Agreed

I like "Free Larry" personally, but given the image of SMU that's currently out there—that photo that's been floating around since the Baylor game probably isn't doing us any favors in the court of public opinion right now—I'm not sure it's quite enough. If we're trying to win a PR war, I think we have to try to change the false narrative of "spoiled rich kids can't handle being punished for cheating." I'm not sure "Free Larry" does that.

But none of the people who are beating the "SMU's such a dirty school" drum really explain what the violation was... probably because it hurts their preferred version of the story. And when I explain what actually happened to people who don't know the whole story, they generally realize how ridiculous this really is.

I know it's gotta be simple, but the truth is on our side here. We have to get it out there. It's a lot easier for the NCAA to spew its BS than it is to explain why they're wrong, and I don't think we can sway people without changing that narrative.

Exactly the issue. Even people who SHOULD be informed and understand the story don't (looking at the Ticket on this one).

Has anyone considered writing an extensive Op-Ed? I have one in progress actually

This is my biggest issue. Forde and DicV did no investigative reporting yet their voices are heard more. They did no due dilligence and the general public follows. How about an extensive report on the past LB transgressions and a look at SMU compliance after the death penalty

a la free pimp c

[whitwiki]

Honestly this is a horrible idea. Don't make SMU look worse by whining about it. Turner made a good statement and an appeal is all the publicity we need

[mrydel]

I think it is fine as long as Hart and Turner are not holding the signs

Apologies—you're not UNC.

I like National Corrupt Rassroll Association which I came up with while reading the Daily Campus at lunch in the Umphrey Lee student center cafeteria in Spring of 1976

Some coach was paying a dollar or 2 to players coming up with a big tackle on punt returns, and we got hammered by the ncaa:!:

Rumors had been swirling in east TX for a couple of years about the perks coming to the Campbell family

Statler had his sign up....

[Diamond Girl]

Hey Dutch. Your picture of Statler is, like, 6 years old. Why would he have a sign about Larry Brown back then? The real question, though, is why have you kept Staler's picture for so long?
