Do I have to go to the burger wars thread to find out where i can get a magic burger?
I ought to slap you like Patton slapped that soldier. So our loyalty to SMU is being questioned by how long we have been on this web site? That might be absolutely one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Look, Keeper of the Star, if you could challenge yourself into finding something that would suggest that the direction of the athletic direction is favorable -- and I submit under Orsini, this is the best infrastructure I've seen in 20 years -- then your credibility wouldn't be under such scrutiny -- not to mention your insane recruiting philosophy. But no, you've just sat out playing armchair quarterback and having contracted an acute case of second-guessing and hindsight. I think we can all agree that there were messes Doug Single left, Forrest Gregg couldn't understand and Jim Copeland was too lazy to address. And with Orsini, you have a guy with a clear vision and wants to put the department on a solid foundation. I see where we have to go. And that requires $$$ to make it happen. I donate and hold football season tickets, I've donated to Crum's construction and don't think twice about it. In other words, I will do what I can to help us return. Actions speak louder than words. And by the way, this looks like bowl-caliber team to me -- But I guess we'll know after Thanksgiving where we stand.
You obviously don't know much about college football then unless we are talking about 6-6 Make Believe Pretend Bowls. Come talk to me about Setember 15 after we play a couple of bowl teams.
I hear you knockin', but you can't come in.
No, that's what everybody wants you to think, that Max Williams fired the magic burger. The truth is, there was a second booster on the grassy Hilltop that day that nobody wants to acknowledge.
Stallion, did you really just try to blame the SHSU and Arkansas State games for the athletic deficit? That is just friggin' stupid.
How you explain the deficit every other year?
replacing Tech and TCU with Arkansas St. and Sam Houston St. costs the athletic program approximately $ 700,000 to 800,000. And that's just two games. I've never thought that CUSA "close divisional rivalries" would help attendance in the first place and that's the flip side of the argument this thread started with. The only way SMU can become somewhat finiancially competitive is that have a consistent championship caliber program that flirts with the Top 25 and plays a competitive nationally respectable non-conference schedule. See TCU. Which has twice as many fans as SMU despite being a smaller university. Beating cream-puffs is window dressing.

Or by his inability to coach/run a D1A college basketball team, however you choose to see it.
You are making stuff up. First, we did play Tech last year (we lost by 32 points). We didn't "replace" TCU. TCU wasn't on the schedule. Them's the breaks. They d*cked around after the 12th game was added because they didn't want a play us; they wanted a lower-BCS team to come play their house and couldn't find one. Then they asked us to play at TCU after we had filled our date and we refused-as we should have(!). That would have left us with 5 home dates and seven road games.
I forget the circumstances that led to the other open date. And of course, we are dealing with revisionist history with TCU anyway. When Fran came on board at TCU, one of the things he did was soften the schedule. He ditched games against Big XII teams like Nebraska to play games against ... get ready for this... Arkansas friggin' State in 1999. Add to that the occasional I-AA team and North Texas. It is only after they got good that TCU started consistently trying improve the schedule.
Are you calling Jim Copeland a liar when he got on TV and said Tubbs was fired because of NCAA violations?
We all know Jimmy Tubbs was fired because he sucked. We were just making stuff up to get rid of him. And I'm fine with that because he was an anvil hanging around this program's neck.
Well then say you fired him because he sucked. If you are fine with making stuff up and lying about the reasons a guy was fired, that makes you a jack@ss in my book, general.
Want a cookie, Stal? You deserve one after that bone-headed comment. I don't think length of time on the board is credibility-building criteria. If it were, I think I have you beat. The fact that you have a ridiculous numbers of posts is testament only to the fact that you really dig babbling on about this or that. The importance of the babble is neither here nor there. I don't think you are right on the merits of this one, either. Creampuff schedule or not, wins are the most important thing right now. If we can pull a TCU and upset a team such as USC as they did in the Sun Bowl to kick off their last 10 years of success, or if we beat the lower tier teams until we get up to speed, I frankly couldn't care less. It's about butts in seats. We still may not have them, but winning, or rather lack of winning won't be the reason why. "Moderation in all things, and especially in Absoluts [vodka]."
