Power 3 doesn't work, playoff-wise, so ACC-XII consolidation isn't worth worrying about. If SEC and Big have their way, we'll be looking at a 2-conference super league (and the demise of college athletics, over time).

Hypotheticals about TCU, BU, TT are akin to arguments about the layout of the ...

The Saints can't win a Super Bowl without SMU.

CanΓÇÖt say that I favor joining the XII anytime soon, but we canΓÇÖt say ΓÇ£neverΓÇ¥ I suppose, as the landscape will likely change again within the next 5 years. For now, I think we should be content with scheduling BU and TCU on an out-of-conference basis, if they're brave enough to play (calling ...

and now FSU is in the NIL news...not in a good way. Hope we ar able to keep or guys happy in this new world of college athletics

I just received notice that Rick Hart will resign/retire as AD, but will remain at SMU until a new director is hired.

This caught me by surprise, but I don't exactly have my finger on the pulse of SMU athletics.

Does anyone have the scoop on this?

I would suppose he'd look elsewhere. We have a pretty stacked QB room at the moment, but who's to say the staff wouldn't take him back?

He's very large. Has anyone seen tape of him? Does he have an American football background?

This is a fantastic hire. Congrats and thanks to our Board.

I have real confidence in SMU's future.

Still trying to process this one. A bumbling but hard hitting performance. Kudos to the players. They never gave up.

HarveyΓÇÖs block was amazing. A double leap after 59:57 of football!

Let's defer this discussion until Cal week....

I've enjoyed watching the successes of all or our women's teams. The competition is much tougher, yet they are up to the task.

Not sure what you mean by that. All of our receivers have "underpeformed" but that hasn't been entirely on them. I bet we see better numbers from Hudson, Moochie, and the rest, including our TE room, as the season progresses.

Jason B, always appreciate your pre-game analysis, although I didnΓÇÖt like it. IΓÇÖm almost as happy as you are that you missed how this one played out. But no one anticipated that kind of game.

I disagree that we should walk away. It makes us, rather than the Frogs, look like quitters. Plus, I ...

JasonB, your analysis is spot on and sobering. I was the most disappointed in the linesΓÇÖ play and our receiversΓÇÖ apparent inability to create separation.

The game reminded me of the Mike Tyson quote: ΓÇ£Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.ΓÇ¥ We got punched but at least we ...
