What do you think of the way that SMU has rebuilt itself?
Craig James (12:07 PM)

Not surprised. A great campus, phenomenal city, excellent education. It just needed a coach like June Jones who could get the talent on campus and then have a plan for success.

Well said Craig!!

You gotta give him credit for being truthful. Thanks for staying away for 25 years and not helping to expedite the rebuilding. Please stay away another 25.

here's a wtf moment and another example of CJ keeping SMU at arm's length, despite being given the forum to do otherwise:

Allan (Houston)

How happy are you to see SMU back in bowl games?
Craig James (12:12 PM)

I think it's good for Texas. It's good for Texas high school athletes to have another option to have a bowl team inside the state, so they can stay if they want and play on a good ball club.

Good interview. I have never understood the hatred and demonizing of Craig by a few on this board who were probably not even around when Craig played for SMU.

[NickSMU17]

That's the point...I think a lot of guy defend him because of his playing days....

When it is painfully obvious the guy is a dikc towards SMU...

[redpony]

This just pointed out the obvious. ED was and is a consumate SMU loyalist as well as a class person. CJ is nothing more than a jerk/turd. Lots of luck if he trys politics in Texas. I sure wouldn't vote for him.

GO PONIES!!!

[PonyKai]

In light of additional evidence, I find it harder to defend Mr. James. Would it KILL him to type through his SID typist a generic "I'm so happy for SMU. I loved my time there, and I love seeing them back." For christ's sake, he followed his wife here. How could you not have good memories of the place?

it's not what he did while he was here. it's what he's done since he left.

Me, I was pissed. It was the offseason. Someone called me and told me. I saw it on TV. I thought it was unfair. We were guilty, but other people were just as guilty, if not more so.
