It's very quiet in Fort Worth

Don't see the purple out in full force. Campus is empty because it's between semesters. But you would think that Fiesta Bowl never happened.
Hmmmmm.
Just to taunt a little bit. It's our rival, but again they should be commended on the great season they have had and this run. Not many teams can pull off 24-2 over the last two years.
I'll say this again -- If we are as committed to making football the monster we want it to be, we will do in 5 years what it took TCU to do in 10.

We already have a longer winning streak than they do.

General,
I have to agree with you. I believe within five years we could be doing the BCS fox-Trott. I think it will be either three years(Padron is a senior by then) or it will take a couple of years after that.

I just don't want to meet a fate similar to Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl

AMEN. But I would like to think it won't only because JJ can recruit Texas while at Hawaii I assume that was a little more difficult.

I think that one of the big reasons to come to SMU for Coach Jones, was the ability to rebuild the program in a recruit rich environment. This should give him better athletes than he was able to get with his $1.50 recruiting buget in Hawaii. The result should (good Lord willing) be a team that forever puts to rest the idea the he's a finesse coach who can't hang with the powerhouses.
