I was there! My dad had said I shouldn't bother going to Houston, because OU would whip SMU's butt. I, of course, went anyway. I rubbed that win into his hide for a full year.

Great universities increase human knowledge, thus research is critical to them. If SMU aspires to be great, it must research. Plain and simple.

Very very hard to achieve AAU status without a med school. We need to affiliate on that issue very quickly.

Never really understood why some conferences use AAU status as some sort of filter. It is not necessarily a ...

AAU! AAU! AAU! That should be our goal. Those are the universities with which we should aspire to be associated. In Texas, we would join Rice, UT and A&M.

Point made. 65,000 people calling the Hogs is intimidating. What could SMU yell that would be intimidating?

I'm torn on the whole issue but... it's as simple as this - if we want SMU to be a major conference football program ever again, we're going to have to cheat. TCU does it. Texas does it. Alabama does it. Auburn does it. Stanford does it. Ole Miss does it. Everyone that has success in major college ...

Give people something to yell about, and they will yell on their own. I think organized cheers are kind of "Aggie", and I doubt such will ever be successful at SMU. There is just no Pony tradition of it. But, feel free to start a chant and see who joins you.

Wow. I get accused of blasphemy to SMU for pointing out a few facts as I see them, yet, on this thread, we have many ready to turn their backs on their alma mater over a football coach. DRAMA QUEENS!!!!

The REAL heartbreaker was the DP after the six-year run by SMU in the eighties. Will anyone argue that four wins over UT in six years was worth THAT?

This argument about not being a P5 school, not having resources etc.etc. is so old and stale. What would you think if your attorney told you that he lost your case because the other attorneys firm was a lot bigger and had more resources?

I would think it was probably true, and I would wish I had ...

Say, Pug. How much did Texas Tech dominate the SWC?

Should they step back, reassess their goals?

If Texas Tech were a relatively small, private school, were not in a P5 conference, had suffered the DP, had an apparently tiny fanbase, had to compete for attention with professional sports and ...

Pug - Aren't you the guy that started a thread full of BS and got smacked back down by every single poster after that? Ah yes, I thought that was you.

Whatever. Y'all just keep patting each other on the back and thinking everything is going to be fine after June gets canned. That's the ticket.

P ...

I thought you left last week. WTD?[/quote

Don't you have some grammatical errors to go find?

Aren't you the guy that pretty much flipped off the entire SMU football program, earlier? I consider your one ...

Briefly looking at Vanderbilt's record in the SEC vs. ours in the SWC...I think we look better.

Briefly looking at Stanford's record in the PAC vs. ours in the SWC...I think we look better.

Interesting and historically gratifying, perhaps, but the SWC ended in 1996. What does that now have to do ...

Are you really so simple that you can't see that playing in the SWC and playing today are IN NO WAY COMPARABLE?!

Where have I ever even hinted that they are comparable?

Yet, I read people on here aspiring to play and beat our geographic and natural rivals, rather than our new AAC partners. And ...
