As you can tell by my name, I have a split allegiance. Went to UConn for undergrad & SMU for grad school. I've been an SMU season ticket holder for five years and I attend as many games as I can.

I am *really* looking forward to C-USA next year. It seems like a natural fit fo us. We should be able to compete with Tulane, Memphis, Houston, Rice, Tulsa, etc. I hate to start off on a negative note, but I think C-USA is probably our last, best chance in 1-A football.

Welcome aboard! Good to have you on the site.

Get your ticket punched, UConn! The ride is about to start. Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard. Hope our back from the DP victory over U.Conn in 1989 will not affect your dual loyalties to SMU. Now you can follow the BE and the C-USA with equal interest, with emphasis on the parity between the two conferences for BCS purposes. See you around the campus.

WELCOME! It is so good to see another devoted & insightful fan.

GUNPERUNA: It's hard to tell...but is that the late, great Bob Hope - consumate SMU supporter - in that photo?

I was at the 1989 game. SMU won (31-30) with about 5 seconds left on the clock. The Ponies got some breaks and clearly wore down the UConn defense in the second half. I was cheering on every play - for both teams. It was like watching two of your children play against each other. A bittersweet win. Back then, the thought of UConn upgrading from 1-AA to 1-A was just dream (finally accomplished in 2002). The SMU crowd that night was big and loud. It was a lot of fun.

I support both schools. Fortunately (or unfortunately), they don't cross paths very often.

Thanks for your comments guys.

UCONN/SMU -

Are you the same UConnSMU who posts on The Boneyard, Boston College and Rutgers boards?
