Coach Dykes will coach the Frisco Bowl

[Otto]

Arkansas fans are extremely excited about Traylor on twitter. They said his recruiting abilities are a huge plus. You know the guy who was a consultant was totally the right way to go.

Were they excited about Bret Bielema too?

Yes. They were ecstatic.

Exactly.

Coaching a bowl game with a team that played under another coach?
That is unheard of, isn't it?

It’s extremely rare, yes. Bigfoot stuff.

Tailgate outside SMU gate starts at 3.
Support the SMU players.
They are young and some or too quick to make comments.
Forgive them and come support YOUR SMU MUSTANGS.

Should be a somewhat interesting game to say the least.

I'm not going to trash Traylor, there must be something more going on behind the scenes than we know.

Wise man. That sounds lke the case.

This. Players are young men that are growing up. Some day they will understand how these situations play out when they are in charge and managing people and organizations. They need our support. Great teaching moment for SMU and for Dykes specifically. If he can get these young men to learn from this experience and make positive he's ahead of the game.

I agree:

because if we lose.....no doubt for some "the sky will be falling"

and if we win .....no doubt for some there will be "illusions of grandeur"

For a bunch of tough guys, some of y'all are such pearl clutchers, I do declare.

You should hang around for the uniform/fashion discussions, Pom Mom.

For what it's worth, a player's father was arguing with people on twitter about Traylor leaving, saying:

Replying to @TylerThomasDFW @cafe_amo and 2 others
He left bc, blows my mind but true, he thought he could get this job with no experience. When he didn’t, he left. If you’re not going to fulfill Internim tag don’t take it. Kids are fine though. Entire team is onboard with Coach Dykes!

I think the players will wind up being fine.
With Twitter, we get to see the emotions of charged-up athletes play out in real time.
