Maybe Groundhog Day will become "UNDERDOG Day". (Insert

Sounds interesting. I guess that's in the Law quad? Had an EE course
there in Florence Hall. If I remember right. Might look it up on the maps
at www.smu.edu, and actually attend.

Will Copeland be there?

thats great...except - who is Paul Rogers??? I'm a law student, and I've never heard of him.

Evidently, he's a professor at SMU Law, not the Dean. The Dean's name is Attanasio.

His bio on the law school page says:

"Professor Rogers is SMU's University athletic representative, representing the University before the NCAA and the Western Athletic Conference."

"There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!"

It does sound like an interesting lecture. Just curious, where is Southern U. located?

He was dean until 1997.

Southern University is in Baton Rouge, LA.

His bio on the law school page says:

Someone might want to let him know that we're now in Conference USA!

Southern University is in Baton Rouge, LA.

So he's giving this lecture about how the BCS is bad in a town that is crazy for a team that won a BCS national championship?

They should televise this...It's going to be quite interesting.

He's my contracts professor, I like him a lot, I do remember him telling us a story about working with the Cotton Bowl and the SWC to get a written contract confirming that the Cotton Bowl would take the SWC champion, said they never could get all the details worked out....
