Your wife want to be the SMU beat writer, per chance?
Edit: There are some sad stories in here.
Colt Brennan had to vocalize through the media to get soap in the locker room. Hawaii used a camcorder won through a golf tournament by Jones to videotape practices. Just sad.
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:27 pmInteresting that Colt Brennan used the word "condemned" to describe Hawaii's facilities.
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:28 pmDude - My Little Pony has been yearning for an opportunity to post something from the NYT ever since we suggested he cant read something that sophisticated. Glad it didn't take too long for them to talk about something relative to pf.

No, because Kate uses PF.com for her one-and-only source.

That's why we probably told June, you have x-amount of time to say yes or no.
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:42 pmWell, if UH doesn't Pony Up, you can't say that they didn't have every chance.

Darth being on the dark side as usual agreed with Stallion that JJ was merely using SMU; however, Darth is now reconsidering his original opinion (once in a while Darth does make an occasional error).
It does seem very strange that a coach as successful as JJ would not have his contract extended by now. Even PB got a[n] (undeserved) extension by his fourth year. Second, the difference between our offer from JJ to PJ is 500k. That seems to be the right amount JJ is seeking as a raise for his assistants.
Two weeks ago when Darth heard this from a pretty good source, Darth just laughed as said...."riiiiiight!" Last weekend, Darth just said, "no way!" Today, Darth says, "this just might happen."
....but remember..."What can go wrong, will go wrong when it comes to SMU football."

Problem is, it is not going to happen. That is why all the "begging." Orsini has rolled the dice correctly....Problem is, he still may get blown out of the water by an NFL team.
