In addition to Copeland's hires Cowlishaw should've mentioned the demise of men's track on his watch.

That has more to do with Title IX than anything else...

Which sport would you have cut?

GRGB,

Title IX plays a role, but I suspect the lack of revenues from our FB and BB teams over the past ...

Why in the world would you want Bennett to have more job security in the aftermath of yet another dismal season??

would have been 7-4 or 8-3 and in a bowl game if Cavan had stuck with Flanagan all season instead of trying to let Sanders have the position- or if Copeland had just let Rossley stay one more season both the Flanagan and Rossley points are spot on. The referenced season is a lowlight for those two ...

As much as I want to increase TV exposure, I don't want this to be the game on TV. Dammit, broadcast the road games, not the home games

TV production costs are much lower in Dallas than they are in the less than metro towns we typically play in, so we get many more home games televised than ...

We don't do well with offenses of that ilk (see Rice), and we certainly wouldn't do well at their altitude. TCU will not enjoy their visits there.

Welcome and Yes.

How our standards have fallen. There was a day when SMU officials, Alumini, and athletes expected the best. There was a day after the Death Penalty when these people talked of getting back there. Now we have officials who make excuses, lament the fact that all we should hope for is being average ...

This is my all time favorite game. Better than the Cotton Bowl; better than the blistering of A&M; better than the Arkansas tie, etc.

It was a gorgeous day. We were both ranked (us #4), on national TV. I was confident that we could beat them and I remember saying to myself just before kickoff it ...

My brother played for Purdue (on the '65 & '66 teams) that played the Ponies. He absolutely loved his trip to Dallas and enjoyed the tour of SMU. Because of that trip, he talked me into going to SMU (10 years later). As a side note, Ron Meyer was an assistant at SMU during that time. Boston, are ...

My bad.

Bennett needs some help quick because this class is unfortunately slipping away from him already.

Chris Olson had it narrowed down to two schools, us and TT (Not sure where you heard differently Diehard), and we let him get away.
I got it from the original post where he is quoted about which ...

Apparently we weren't even close. There was a time when we got virtually all the top players from HP, yet in this case we didn't even make the top 5.

I believe the coach's shows will be available only via the Net. The possible exception to that would be Park Cities cable.

This is a format we considered, however, to stay legal under the WAC ESPN contract you absolutely could not show live football and men's basketball games. I would be very surprised (and pleased) if live football or men's basketball will be shown as a part of Total Access. They probably will show ...

Ah, once again the 1980's. What a different brand of football we played then. For those that were not alive on this board, you have never known SMU to be among college football's elite. For those of us that were, it makes the last 15 years that much more difficult.

With all that said, I remain ...
