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!

I know sone of you enjoy your “B*tchin’ and Moanin’,” but this is a pretty nice group of young players. Well done coaches!

[HubbaHubba]

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?

[dalpony]

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

[dalpony]

The other “hard commits” are for “other reasons “

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

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.

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 Man I am out of date.
