In fact, if you are ever walking by the North end outside between the stadium and the soccer fields you can see the player busses and usually players coming out of the side door of the looker room. They are bad as visitor locker rooms go.

I believe the locker room is normally used by the women's soccer team or some women's team. At least that is what I remember being told when visiting the stadium when it was under construction.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

If Webb starts he is an early enrolled freshman that has has just as much time in Kingbury's system as Manziel had since Manziel was a redshirt Freshman.

I remember that game, we gave Tech a pretty tough game. Although he threw for a ton of yards that day we picked him off twice. One of the picks was by Vic Viloria in the endzone. I think it would have been a much better game if only we had more talent on offense. This was the year we rotated qb's between Tate Wallis and Richard Bartel.

Didn't Manziel enroll in the fall and redshirt his first year? If so, he had the benefit of an extra full season of practice, meetings, film, etc., that Webb doesn't have.

Sumlin/kingsbury were not there manziel's redshirt season, they were hired at the beginning of spring semester so Manziel got spring practice and fall practice in their system. His point is that Webb enrolled for spring semester so he has had spring practice and fall practice with kingsbury just like Manziel did.
