Was our band there today? I could not hear them.

I wrote this on Facebook just tonight, to my brother who played football at TCU... AFTER my father and I (his older brother) went to SMU:

So what do you think (my brothers' name), is the Big 12 going to dissolve?

None of college football is like it used to be (at least when we were growing up ...

It is nauseating to watch, but I still have faith in Coach Dykes. We had a good year (finally) and I still feel we are on the road to recovery. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Having watched other games on TV, and considering that it was Thanksgiving weekend, I think the crowd looked pretty solid. It was certainly a reactive, supportive crowd. This is a long-term rebuild and it will improve.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY! I'm an old Mustang fan (starting in the late 60's because of my SMU alumnus father) and this really warms my cockles! I met Coach Dykes at an SMU event in NYC last year and he is a real friendly, personable man, on top of being a great coach. It could not have happened to a ...

I'll take it! The sign of a good team to outlast an energized rival! Woo woo!

I share this for its humor, and like many contributors here, I hope we can move past attendance being a problem:

On baseball attendance: “If people don’t come to the ballpark, how are you gonna stop them?”

That's probably it, and that's a big deal but I really wish they'd stop this "Big Announcement" stuff. It almost feels like crying "Wolf" at times. I'm starting to roll my eyes every time I see this now. I'm not so much excited as annoyed. "Big Announcement" should be reserved major donors, a med ...

My guess is the capital campaign probably topped $1 Billion.

Well it fooled me... (as I wrote holding my hand to my chest).

Agreed. Guess you need to be a Steinberg aficionado to really get into the article.

For what it is worth, this was a sweet win, I reckon a lot of us enjoyed it more than the others who played and won today!
