Time is on our side comrade.

I believe you have the comparison reversed. The traditionalists are the South Vietnamese, French and Americans, whereas JJ and his crew are the VietCong. Who ambushed whom in the present scenario?

then you better learn your history because the VietCong untimately drove us out. anyway, this analogy is rather flawed and painful. Many of us "oldtimers" have friends who served and have lasting wounds and many who loss their lives.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?


Thanks to all who serve(d)

The statue/sculpture is multiple horses and it is beautiful. Is our name the SMU Mustang or the SMU Mustangs? People we are the SMU Mustangs!

Apparently we are whatever Mr. Jones would like us to be.

If you will notice...not one of them has a cowboy sitting on its back. I don't have nearly as much problem with the concept of having mustangs at the game and on the field...it's the cowboys that really don't belong.

I would venture to guess that your age is greater than your IQ.

Looks like Mrs. PIckens face is about to fall off. Just an observation.

Hopefully, whoever gives her the next beauty shop wash will start talking up the plight of the poor Haitians and she'll dump the horses and move on to Earthquake Victims in Haiti. T. Boone will just write the check.

Arkansas Razorback
Texas Aggie or
Baylor Bear

MB67,

My intent was not to disparage our troops, whom I personally have the highest admiration for...(did back then as a kid, do so today).

DeGaulle advised JFK not to involve our troops in Vietnam in large part because he knew firsthand that you cannot sustain a war against an enemy who knows that eventually you will tire of the whole process.

Eventually JJ goes back to his island, much as the French and US did. At that point, my bet is the horses began their inevitable slid to obscurity.

Does ANYONE have a picture of the Noid from a few years ago? There are so many great oppertunities to post it.
