Dear Mustang Nation:

As you are no doubt aware, SMU has galloped into the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) with energy and strength. Your Mustang football program ΓÇô the only undefeated team in conference play - is now ranked number 1 in the ACC. This success is due to the diligent efforts of the ...

SMU and Stanford have arguably the two most popular golfers as alums right now. Tiger and Bryson. Tiger isn't very good anymore, but he still commands a huge following. Stanford and Cal also are huge in Olympic sports. This makes the ACC stronger. Note that Stanford is in the elite 8 in Men's ...

He sure is. Got to wonder what SMU did to him to p*ss him off as I have never seen his name featured in SMU Magazine ever - thus he is likely not a big-time SMU donor.

He sent his son to Harvard and Stanford - but perhaps should have not ...

I still wonder if the 13 buffoons in the CFP committee took it against SMU the fact Stone was out injured long term, similar to what they said they did to FSU.

They said they would consider injuries to key players and there is no more key player than a team's starting QB so there is no doubt ...

It's truly Silver as we've gotten more positive pub in the last 3 days than FOREVER, and we have a really decent chance of finishing top 15 in country.

I thought about this yesterday, and more publicity early next season as they keep up with how the new teams are fairing in their new conferences ...

This is a great opportunity to go say thanks to the players, meet their parents, and build some great relationships with fellow alumni.
