Be a fan, not a gossip monger

Speculating on a player transferring is well beyond the realm of being a good fan (or any sort of fan at all). It is obstructionist and a pathetic use of time.

Why should anyone expect a coach (Doherty or otherwise) to spend time confirming or denying rumors that circulate on this message board ...

Entre to Big 12?

2013: The Return of the SWC!!!!

2013 - 3 Big 12 opponents...years there after a slow weaning off of Big 12 opponents.

IF (if...IF) SMU can build the program by 2013, is this an attempt to tempt Big 12 towards expansion? At a minimum, the increase in strength of schedule is welcome, and if we ...

Definitely need new sound system

Seems like sound system is a problem (live in DC and have not been able to get to a game to hear for myself for some time). That being the case, it is alarming that people are responding to the SMUMUSTANGS.COM poll (about next basketball investments) that we first need to replace the bleachers with ...

Victor Jones, who originally committed to Oklahoma State but had his offer pulled, is now set to play for head coach June Jones and the Mustangs so he can stay close to home, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Quality over Expediency

I'm empathetic to recruits being uneasy. Who wouldn't be in their shoes.

I am glad SMU appears to be steadfast in the pursuit of a big-time coach. Trying to get a coach just to meet a deadline would be foolish. SMU football needs a major catalyst to get it where it should be, and getting any ol ...

It concerns me that teams like Nebraska (a place where Johnson would be unencumbered by recruiting and where they are used to winning with his types of offensive schemes) and Duke (located in Johnson's home state - grew up there, went to college at Western Carolina, started his career in-state) are ...

Forest-Trees...SMU Football Program-Presidential Library.

Amen, OC, for trying to straighten this thread out. Enough already about the library. The impact of such a thing on SMU football is inconsequential at best. Although it was fair for ONE person to point out that it COULD have SOME modicum ...

Nice, constructive analysis

This is a nice constructive post. Couple of reactions:

-I was actually surprised to see that our historical recruiting during this period shakes out as favorably as it does, vis-a-vis other conference foes. I have not been taken by the approach of apparently only going after "diamonds in the ...

Neither of these will affect SMU football. Wins inside & outside of Ford stadium by SMU will determine attendance. People don't decide between going to the Cowboys game and SMU. It just doesn't happen.[/quote]

That is the point. Just as people in Boston don't likely decide between going to Boston ...

SMU can be competitive, if it wants to be

Here's a little constructive musing. There is little below that many of you would not be in agreement with, but I believe this argument is worth repeating. Hope you'll enjoy the thoughts and details below.

I've heard all sorts of reasons why SMU could be nationally competitive once again in ...

Reaction to Jim Fassel

How WOULD you guys react to Jim Fassel as a candidate (I use 'would' since I've heard no such rumor)? Currently he's a commentator for the NFL Network. Among his former positions were OC for Ravens, HC for NY Giants (took them to the Super Bowl), various coaching positions with Raiders, Denver, and ...

Butch Davis is NOT leaving UNC

Guys, as a graduate of both SMU and UNC, and close follower of both programs, it is just inconceivable to me that Butch Davis would leave UNC for ANY program, pro or college, this year. From all viewpoints the match between he and UNC has been fantastic in his 11 months thus far at UNC.

No doubt ...
