Re: Reason that the ACC needs to add Texas Tech

Texas Tech would be at the bottom in academics by a wide margin. They are very close to being an open admission school. They used to say that you could tell if a Tech student had been on a date because there would be tobacco juice stains running down the passenger door of his pickup truck.

Re: Has Texas Tech built a college football power in the por

Tech is doing exactly what SMU is accused of doing: buying a roster.
Pretty simple.
Fun fact: so is everybody else.
I would estimate that in the State of Texas SMU is a fairly distant third in NIL spending behind UT and A&M. Those two schools will dominate the SEC if NIL is the main factor. Well ...

Re: TCU Hoops Star you wouldn't want to date your daughter

According to news reports Prince requires her dates to sign non-disclosure agreements. Not putting the best foot forward I would say.

Re: Rick Hart Leaving SMU

I can't attend basketball as often as I would like. But it just occurred to me that I never notice Hart being invited to sit with the Millers, Turners and Bushes at courtside. Am I wrong?

Re: Miami lands another QB

Miami going all in. I'd say there will be even money on Quinn Ewers following the same path (transfer portal vs NFL draft) after his performance against Ohio State
Ewers NFL stock is down right now and his NIL supporters are ready to move on. As soon as the Horns lost the other night the PI lawyer ...

Re: Jay Hartzell - New President

from the internet:

Hartzell's salary is roughly $1.4 million. As of 2016, per the most recent data available, SMU's president made at least $3.3 million.

I'm guessing his salary will at least double. Getting the legislature, the governor and a mediocre UT Board of regents, who are mostly ...

Re: CFP other games 2024

It is a tough call. Decisive Penn State wins soften the blow of our loss up there. On the other hand, Notre Dame is not a member of an entitled acting "super" conference. One thing for certain: I'm for whoever plays UT.

Re: 1982 Grudge Match ΓÇö Texas Monthly

Do I remember it correctly that Joe Pa almost cried tears on national television when pleading for Penn State to win NC over SMU ?
I don't know if he was nearly in tears but he certainly made the rounds of all of the national morning shows claiming the title before the vote was released. It didn't ...

Re: FSU: "We Never Said We Wanted to Leave"

I think I mentioned before that I watched the FSU board meeting when they voted to sue the ACC. The whole bunch are dumber than a load of bricks. The law firm is burning up fees and the board members lapped it up when they were told that SMU was the reason they weren't invited to the playoffs last ...

Re: Where does Ford put an 8,000 seat expansion?

I have casually talked to a couple of people who know more than me. They say that there is a psychological impact involving recruits and a 40k minimum stadium. See TCU and Baylor. I'm also told that any construction on the east side would include a sizable number of club or suite level seats topped ...

Re: Possible transfer target?

It looks like Sarkisian ran him off. Said that the decision for him to move on was "mutual." He has had no playing time since he dropped a pass against Miss State.

Re: Thoughts on the Pitt game

Our DL is elite thanks in very large part to mastery of the transfer portal. SMU has a history of producing NFL caliber linemen. Anxious to see if we can keep this up when the next bunch of transfers declare.
