June Jones was introduced, as the new coach of the SMU MUSTANGS!

Oh the optimism on that day. Only to squelched by reality 9 months later...

When will we ever be good again?

I am still optimistic (though I have no expectations). It seems JJ is improving the caliber of recruits. Time will tell but we do seem to be attracting a few more athletes than in the recent past. We did complete in a few games and JJ is showing our players that discipline is part of the program. Are we BSC bound? Probably not yet but are we at this point showing signs of improvement, yes.

Recruits? Who's going to make our D not stink next year?

Good call, but did he use up all his eligibility at Sin City U?

He will have 2 years left after sitting out a year wherever he decides to go.

Yes, if JJ continues to get the caliber of player he's entertaining these days. Worry not, my friend: We're not the shining exception.

Is that another way of saying just be patient and wait a few more years?

And contiune to hold your nose even though I think we will smell a tad better next season.

I had intended to keep my old sig pic until today (or tomorrow) -





But the Rose Bowl got in the way, and Pete and the girls had to be up for a week. But 51 weeks of June, Orsini, and the real "Jerry Maguire" (Leigh Steinberg... okay we only see part of his head, but ... he's there) ain't too shabby.



The glass is always half full when it's filled with the Pony Koolaid.

Well it's really a way of saying that you can't expect to win until you have several solid classes under your belt.

we have a better shot of getting good with June at the helm than we have had from any of the past several coaches...

I think we're saying the same thing. Unfortunately.
