Nobody really wants to add small privates. The only reason we are in the hunt for Pac 12 is 1) Dallas market and central time zone and 2) USC (private) is leaving. Also i would add we are close enough to strong academics to make the cut.

No way that the TV guys will get excited about adding Rice ...

Good find. Usually you can tell it's a good hire when the locals are disappointed he's leaving. As opposed to the "don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out" crowd.

Great resume and results with Justice. And he's got some really talented RBs at SMU already. I hope they gel and further complement an already potent passing game.
