Anyone who calls Bill Nichols a bastard must be, uh, quite passionate.

Just go up to your address bar and copy that and make your own link. :roll:
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.

I was just looking at your signature

Isn't that embarassing? It makes it sound like you wish you were another school. It would be better to just be Crimson and Blue than Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue. That would be like us saying we wish we were as good at TCU in Football, so we're going to name the IPF the "Horned Frog Athletic Facility."

Not embarrassing at all Benny to aspire to have the same high academic standards as Harvard and Yale. What is embarrassing is to have someone with no SMU affiliation other than a job decide, for some unknown purpose, to change the school colors to primary red and blue like every other school with no standards. Evidently you have no appreciation for our first university president. Now that is just sad. And no it is not the same as naming a school facility after another school's mascot.

Hyer selected those symbolically, not as literal colors, as they are completely made up. We are now SMU Red and SMU Blue officially.

So, we are no longer the Harvard of the South?
