I hope everything goes according to plan.

Although JJ's not my personal favorite its an exciting time to be a SMU football fan.

My advice is that we all clear some time Monday to show up to Ford. That is all I will say for now.

Any suggestion of a time...I need to find out if I can get a babysitter to pick up our daughter from school. Heck, for this, she might get out early and come with us.

Be careful. They might surprise you and announce Fran!!

LOL! Then I'd better leave the kids at home. I'd hate for them to hear their mother talk that way. :lol:

There will probably be a mention of it a couple of times when they show Bo Pelini and talk about him taking over Nebraska too.

"Bo Pelini, the defensive coordinator, and now the new head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. In other coaching news today, SMU hired June Jones who led his Hawaii Warriors to the BCS Sugar Bowl last week......"

Too bad its on Fox instead of ABC. It would be nice to have Craig James on their to talk about it too.

Of course they do. They can make shirts big enough for Mangino! And that Hawaii reporter was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, wasn't he????

This and the 1.1 million offer from UH being reported by someone in Hawaii. From UH board. No idea who Rob DeMello is.

Posted: Today 5:03 PM

Rob DeMello just reported...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...that UH offered JJ 1.1 million and also that SMU has scheduled a news conference for Monday.

Now don't go reading too much into the news conference thing...it might just be that they are setting it up so they can make an announcement either way--"JJ has not accepted the job, or so and so is going to be the new HC..." or whatever...

Boston Pony wrote:Jones should be coming to the AFCA meeting (in California) so he will be coming to the mainland...getting to Dallas won't be difficult. Getting assistants next week will be easy as everyone that is anyone will be at AFCA... Timing is good for setting up a staff

Good point! Starts on Monday.

"I am hearing Sunday Press Conferernce"

Is that actually possible?
Since there is no Cowboy Game?
Monday makes morse sense doesn't it?
Except the JJ travel time home?
They don't ever have these kind of press conferences on a weekend do they?
