From ACC

[redpony]

I also believe TCU is leading the way in blocking us because they know once we go big time it will negatively impact their recruiting and brand presence.

Exactly- like the idiot who doesn't want the genius in his class because it would raise the grade level of the class.

When we win conference this year and go to a new year’s six bowl game, both the Big 12 and ACC will be falling all over themselves to invite SMU. Go Mustangs!!

Each human has both the capacity and reality of doing good and evil things in thier lives. The ability to recognize ourselves as flawed is a sign of maturity. Passing judgement and failing to value another humans contributions because they too are imperfect is a sign of hubris. I have no doubt you should remove the log from your own eye before you attempt to remove the spec from W. In his actions he is working for the good of the SMU community and his effort should be thanked. Judge not a humans good work now by thier failings, less no one be given the space nor have the will to do good at all.

This should be pinned. Well said.

Shrub is another sycophant that uses SMU. Your post is trite. Full of
literal interpretations of ancient texts that do not apply. Understandable
that your politics run to the right of Atilla the Hun. Regardless, its bad
form for any University to associate itself with polarizing figures that
do not espouse even the most basic tenants of academic freedom.
I would expect such an association at Liberty or Bob Jones, never at
a mainstream school like SMU. Its interesting that shrub was very quiet
during the PAC speculations. Indeed. If he had opened his mouth it
would have doomed our chances from the outset. Now he surfaces
again to "lead the charge" while the rest of the country scorns us.

BTW: maybe you and froggie loser should visit the shrub "library".
Nothing too overwhelming for the mentally challenged considering
the singular title that resides there.

Um, I never voted for W and never will. But I’m glad he’s trying.

Orguy, I’m not a fan of dismissive post, including labeling others without knowing much about them.

Politics aside, Former President George W Bush has always been a strong supporter of SMU, particularly SMU athletics. We didn’t need his influence to gain a PAC 12 invite, the PAC 12 needed us (for a number of reasons). After the PAC 12 imploded, based on media reports he’s strongly advocating for SMU with the ACC. so thank you W. Anyone thinking that’s a bad thing is blind. And it’s not scorn your seeing in the chat rooms, it’s envy.

Please NO politics

[Dukie]

Please NO politics

Agree. Unfortunately at this point, it’s no *more* politics. But yeah.

[BUS]

Just win.

Yes. Agreed. Just win. We are all united regarding that. Go ponies!

The assumptions you make are in error. I am in fact a gay man who has known the wrath of confident indignation and exclusion for opposite reasons than those you voice in opposition to W.

I learned the hard way, when being gay was illegal and friends arrested, that assumptions are by neccessity based in bias. I don't wish you ill, I like that you too love SMU. I am only compelled to be inclusive of all those who wish SMU good regardless of my agreement or disagrement with other aspect of thier lives. I am by learning a person of inclusion and thank all who work towards the advance of SMU.

Come on. This is about the future of SMU football. Either we move up or have to kick the door in. My view is this year, we’ve got the best team we’ve had since the death penalty. This is the year to kick the door. So while we use everything asset we can to move up, kicking the door can also happen this year. I don’t want to stay in a conference with the College and University of North Texas, UTSA, Florida Atlantic, UNCC. So cut the bickering, and let’s lock arms for our Mustangs. 13-0 is the goal. Then the world we suddenly realize Peruna is baaack.

Agreed...and 13-0 would make SMU this year's media darlings!

I disagree with much of George W. Bush's politics but, as a former President who is not under indictment, people pick up the phone when he places a call I'm glad that he thinks it is worthwhile to advocate for S.M.U. We are a more diverse fanbase than many would think and sports should unite us rather than fracture us.
