Re: Admissions Stuff

I worked hard to get into SMU and all I received were pretty small scholarships (still glad I got something though!) due to my decent GPA and interest in engineering, yet I have no problem with full rides for qualified athletes. Athletics scholarships give less fortunate individuals a chance to get ...

Re: DB Jeremy Hall will....

There must be something more to the story. It just seems to me that Pres. Turner would do anything he could to ensure a legacy of improving SMU both academically (Caruth/Simmons) and athletically (JJ/WINNING SEASONS/Hawai'i Bowl).

Re: Article: MW merger w/ remaining B12 plus UH or SMU

This looks pretty viable. All sources are indicating that aTm has turned down the Pac-10 and may have enough votes to go to the SEC.

Hopefully this scenario plays out:

aTm -> SEC (plus teams from ACC/Big East)
Utah -> Pac-11 (now Pac-12)
Texas & Co -> Pac-12 (now Pac-16)
MWC -> Big XII (now Big 14 ...

Re: Not Good For Us...

Time to hope that A&M stays in Big XII with Baylor, Iowa St., Mizzou, Kansas, KSU and that Utah joins Pac-16. The Big XII would remain AQ. This would start a MWC grab of Big XII or C-USA West teams and the Big XII would have to take teams from either MWC or C-USA West. Lots of opportunities for us.

Re: NCAA Football 11

word is the demo that's being released on Monday features matchups of teams with the different offenses (single back, spread, option, etc..). I believe there are 8 matchups being used and I assume SMU has to be in one of them. That'd be sweet.

So far the one's announced are Miami @ Ohio St ...

For those of you planning on buying the game, here's a custom cover that you can print out feat. Padron instead of Tebow:

Re: Boise to MWC Official

I've heard rumors that Utah could be chosen over A&M if the Big XII South (minus Baylor) go to the Pac-10 or if Texas & Nebraska go to the Big Ten, so this could be a proactive move.

Highland Park HS said no to a joint SMU-HPHS indoor practice facility if I recall correctly.

Dreaming and doing are two different things.


Notice I said trying; I truly believe he's trying to get the best for us. Whether he delivers is another story.

We need to give, but also write Turner specifically. He's on the fence right now on a few academics vs. athletics issues.

Re: Are SMU Officials Doing Anything?

From all accounts Steve was supposed to join June and company in Austin for the coaches tour, but stayed in Dallas to attend to "hot issues." I'm sure we're doing all we can.

This. June was with Mack Brown a few days ago and Brown confirmed that UT & Co. would be leaving for the Pac-10 if someone ...
