Great Insight...Someone who has his own SMU website doesn't care who our opponents are.

Answer me this, how many games in the past 4 years absent TTech, OKSt, Baylor, TCU, and Navy have drawn more than 20,000 fans? Point being, for those who are casual fans, OPPONENTS MATTER....for those who have more the 100+ posts on Ponyfans.com and/or who have their own websites devoted to SMU athletics...(that would be about 225 people) then opponents don't matter.

Copeland has a real dilemma on his hands...how to draw crowds to meaningless games (once again, meaningless unless you post 100+ times on Ponyfans.com and/or have your own website dedicated to SMU athletics). He needs to do some Russ Potts-like thinking....personally I don't believe he is up to the task.
Since Copeland is retiring, it's not his problem anymore. It's time to get someone who can kick major butt on The Hilltop as AD!
