Well, damnit!!!! I want those expectations! Call them unrealistic if you want...but look a South Florida - who? Yeah them. It ain't all that unrealistic.
I look forward to the day that I can tell Kevin 'told ya so'!

Kevin's a UofH grad. I'm gonna laugh my a** off if they hire Pardee again.
Well, regardless of his, everyone's anti-SMU bias, he (K-Sherr) is pretty good. Houston puts out a few/some/many? good people. I loathe what he said, but he put it well. I'm always going to give props to people who can write well, even if they say things I disagree with.
We can bag on different Universities all we want, but if someone goes to college, well that's something... but beyond that, people go to different colleges for different reasons. I am going to choose not to hate Sherrington just because he went to U of H.
I am going to choose to be angry that he didn't take a different tone. But who cares? He's giving voice to what we've been saying. He's the soap box. I'd rather it be more positive, but is it here?
No.
But he did give us that nugget.
That grand nugget...... Orsini thinks like we do... he wants to see SMU back! Back to its glory days.
Here's hoping.
Go Mustangs!
Go Orsini!
