Calling plays at the line of scrimmage limits the ability of the defense to substitute since you could snap anytime. When the qb is on the sideline or the team is huddled up the defense can sub all they want.

if that happens i am out - such a beating and slows the game to 4+hrs


I am anti-walk of shame too, but how does it slow the game to 4+ hours when it takes place while the play clock is running?
they use entire clock on every single play. Teams dont use the entire clock in all plays

And as far as the "walk of shame" would you really rather have little redshirt guys on the sideline holding up pictures of Beiber and Obama like other schools do? You have to get the play in somehow. What is the harm in doing it. We have a 2 minute offense with signals if needed, but again, we need the clock to move more between plays until we learn how to score.
. Yes - those signs are certainly more entertaining. Its absurd Padron had to exhaust himself all game. Ridiculous

When you cannot score and your defense is limited (yes folks we are not a good team) you use as much of the clock as you are able.

And we do have a hurry up offense when we need or want to use it, June just does not want to often.

Make no mistake, I do not want the walk, I just do not see any big deal about doing it. Got to get the play in some way. It is like the swinging gate that many make light of. But many top rated teams use it. I believe Auburn does, A&M does, Oregon does I believe. So some teams do not see it as inane.

All of this said, if Burcham is QB I do not think we will use the walk. If Davis is we probably will.

the swing gate is merely useless. The walk of shame hurts us. You don't suddenly stop it and break into a hurry up. we have never used a hurry up when we have done the walk of shame. If you want to burn clock there are other ways of doing it rather than embarrassing the entire university.

"Forever" is a long, long time. Remember this is football, not basketball. Let's wait until "football" can get this player and the others in this class actually admitted.

Your conspiracy theory that SMU admissions favors basketball over football cements your reputation as the most idiotic poster in ponyfandom. You are a June Jones suck-up. Just admit it. There is absolutely no evidence supporting your claim

Larry Brown has secretly infiltrated the SMU Admissions Department and placed an anti-Football/June Jones mole in key leadership position.

We had a 2 minute hurry up with Padron and we used it a couple of times. I remember vividly because of the departure from the walk. They even practiced it once against NW La. and drove right down the field. That is when there was then a fumble they returned for a TD that cost us a shutout. But Jones likes to teach. Burcham did the signals for Gilbert last year so he would have no problem but I would not be surprised if Jones used the walk if he plays Davis.

Let's just see what happens...not a personal attack.

But, you and many others don't bother to attempt to get behind the numbers and see what really has been happening at good Ole SMU for so many years. The academic pushback is still occurring in 2014, and football is just an easier target than basketball--for the present. As long as you rely entirely on recruiting sites that are not very accurate--and I fault the coaches for not finding a way without getting the program on suspension and getting their messages out, nothing our staff does meets you approval. All I am asking you to do is do some homework instead of relying on a couple of 24 year old kids.

Let's just see how the month plays out. Remember the admissions people have "only" had 90 days to make up their minds about paperwork they have had since February. They normally perform their act about the week the kids are moving in for the summer.

June is here, he is stuck with this mess. My comments are more relevant to the day we begin recruiting his replacement. As I see it, Daffy Duck wouldn't want to be the football coach here.

Daffy Duck must be incredibly rich. For 2 million dollars a year I think there are many young, hungry, qualified coaches who would gladly lead the SMU football program.
