be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. I am sure you all know who was suspended by now, but if not here is the sight:

De'Von Bailey, was the big signee and what did he do for us, ABSOLUTELY nothing.. a few weeks ago the DMN did their usual recap of big 12 class from four years ago and the biggest stat that stood out to me was that at the big 3 (OU, UT, and Tech) half of their 2004 recruits never saw the field or were no longer apart of the team.
Stars mean nothing b/c so much happens to a young man when he gets to college and if a lot of big recruits come our way, get used to this type of story. Usually the bigger the recruit, the bigger that baggage.

I would rather have ten 4 star recruits and one or two don't workout while we win than a bunch of 2 stars recruits and lose for 20 years.

How much of a discipline cesspool had SMU become? Jones has sent as much time suspending or dismissing players as coaching. With luck, he is getting rid of bad apples and showing the fresh arrived colts that he means business.
And if this new dedication to discipline bleeds over into our players performances, then we have a chance to improve.
We have undisciplined play in turnovers, penalties and blown coverages. Maybe there is more than hope for a change in our future. I for one am glad to see Jones take charge and move this program in a direction of accountability on and off the field.

While you were noticing all those great recruits at OU, UT, and Tech that never made the field-did you happen to notice their combined record last year. General do you ever think before you post. Nice post.

You're calling me out for my Post of the Day which basically echoed SMU 86 and mrydel because we agreed with Ponyte?
Sir, look at who originated the thread? I think the comment needs to be directed toward him.

And the silence from the keeper regarding his error is most deafening. It kills him when he has to admit a mistake.
Should he respond, watch him spin this into something else on a post about recruiting I gave either not long ago or some time this week. That's called trying to save face.

I think we're all waiting with bated breath to see what the 9 year old thinks, Stallion included.

That response doesn't even make sense. I didn't originate this thread. Please observe who did.
I'm pissed off because I got attacked for something that I didn't even do.
