Re: Clemson, Notre Dame announce 12-year series

Offer up the cotton bowl or Jerry world seems nice but will SMU fans come out with enough force? I sure hope so. ThereΓÇÖs no excuse anymore especially with the opponents in mind.

The last thing I would want though is a game in one of these venues and itΓÇÖs 80/20 or 75/25 the other teamΓÇÖs fan ...

Re: Reason that the ACC needs to add Texas Tech

I donΓÇÖt have any knowledge of any of this but seems to me that tech would be one of the last candidates I would think the ACC would want. If itΓÇÖs a function of having the ability to choose, tech would be at the bottom of my list. If itΓÇÖs a function of what may be doable, maybe thatΓÇÖs why ...

Re: Meet the new Provost

IΓÇÖm sure thereΓÇÖs a rationale for this but the provost role typically means an academic, research focused person. This profile is certainly different.

Re: Duke basketball Nil fund

I thought Duke was the most talented team this year and probably had the most talent for a college basketball program in a while. Just goes to show the best teams donΓÇÖt always win.

Also goes to show how important NIL funding is. Ohio State I believe had the highest NIL fund and assembled the ...

Re: GAME THREAD: MBB vs. Oklahoma State (NIT)

Also when you shoot that poorly from the FT line, you usually lose.

And to lose at home against OSU makes it even worse. Terrible all around.

Re: Todd Milbourn - New Cox Dean

Sounds like a good, solid hire. Not as splashy as the SMU President hire I suppose but thatΓÇÖs understandable.

My view is that Olin is a very good bschool - but not elite. I saw that they brought in a new dean in 2023 and hired someone from Northwestern Kellogg. Wonder if Dean Milbourn was a ...

Re: Jay Hartzell - New President

The new hire for the b-school dean will also be very important. Need to get that hire right and hope Hartzell has a key say in that process. Understood the timing was going to be spring of this year.

IMO, the business school should be much higher ranked than it currently is. Should be a top three ...

Re: Jay Hartzell - New President

:P Didn't even know he was in the transfer portal! How many years of eligibility does he have left?
looks like SMU is finally super serious about Athletics

This is academics first and athletics as a key part of that. I believe Hartzel will help to further elevate the academic status of SMU ...

Re: Jay Hartzell - New President

This is beyond what I had ever expected. This seems like a home run hire. Well done to David Miller again - IΓÇÖd chip in to build him a statue at SMU for everything heΓÇÖs done. :)

Re: CFP other games 2024

For me itΓÇÖs ND and itΓÇÖs not even close. I also think itΓÇÖs the most similar to SMU that shows a path for us, as a similar, smaller private university competing against the big public universities and their inherent funding benefits and advantages that they have.

Re: Bowl Games

Have to really wonder how it could been without all the self-inflected mistakes against Clemson (which would have placed SMU as a third seed) and against Ped State, how different the outcomes would have been.

Would have loved SMU to play indoor in perfect field conditions like tonight. I thought ...

Re: Thoughts on the Penn State game

Devastated by the game today more because of what I felt it could have been without the turnovers and mistakes (false starts and needless penalties) but proud of what we accomplished overall.
