Ahhh, the good old days. The 96 sounded like 156 or more.

Thanks, JasonB. Always enjoy your analysis. IΓÇÖm sure you are right on most/all these issues especially after a rewatch, but you had me at ΓÇ£meh.ΓÇ¥

30k in the seats.

If 30K walk thru the turnstiles I would go run a marathon (or at least drive it).

Always appreciate and enjoy your comments, JasonB. And I find myself in 99% agreement with you. You said:
We aren't good enough for the CFP this year, but we sure as hell are good enough to win the AAC. The real season starts next week with Charlotte.
Totally and obviously agree on the first item ...

Running game not there yet. O line needs help. Hope IΓÇÖm wrong - purple slime by 9.

This is truth.

TCU. If they can do it, there is no reason/excuse that SMU canΓÇÖt.
I donΓÇÖt think TCU stole Dykes. He chose to leave.
As long as RGT, Rick and D. Miller are in charge (+ majority of current BoT as well), there is no way. No chance.
It is time for a thorough house cleaning and has been for a ...

Sorry gov but I will never wear purple...or burnt orange for that matter

Here, here!

TCU all the way because I want to see the SMU response, hopefully further opening eyes to what we could be if we'd follow the TCU athletics playbook. Or it may just increase our resistance...
Ummmm, never. No. We've had a couple of decades to respond to what tcu did. We have started to catch up ...

Not too surprising especially when you learn that Barley House, which I assumed was SMU bar HQ, was flying a Tcwho flag. Sheeple-a breed up for a new band wagon any place and anytime.

Right. Examples please.,,because their basketball arena looks like Garland High.
CanΓÇÖt speak for their efforts on the basketball arena, although they did remodeled recently, but the football stadium is spectacular. I personally know a previous Trustee and know from discussions with him how the ...

That would be a resounding NO from me.

WeΓÇÖre doing ΓÇ£greatΓÇ¥? We must not have been watching the same team.
That's the core of the problem. No one at SMU thinks peaking at 5th in the AAC is a problem. Low pressure, low accountability, low results...but lots of excuses!

Admissions and our majors are not sport friendly!

The hangover remains and the big cats over us kittens 38 - 31.

agree with the board issue. IMO part of the problem is that some of those members who lack passion are also graduates. I believe the board should be half the size that it is and should be required to have at least 50% of those members graduates of SMU plus a term limit of 10 yrs.
Sadly we lack the ...
