One can only dream

Sun Belt

94 Have you ever heard of PMA.

94, please tell me what sports you played and up to what year in school.
Just wondering because most coaches teach to focus on "I can" thoughts.

Soccer

That explains it. Go America. Beat England.

TCU to the Big 12, perfect fit.

you sound like the baylor fans. be realistic guys

Consider the following:

1. Stanford of the PAC 10 rejected the Reagan Presidential Library.

2. aTm, home of the Bush 41 Presidential Library, rejected the PAC 10, splitting from century-long rival Texas to do so.

3. SMU is home to the Bush 43 Library.

4. Does the Bush family want Dad's Library at an SEC school and 41's at a Sun Belt School? The family loves sports, so I doubt it.

5. Brother Jeb is the former Governor of FL.

6. Haley Barber, the Gov. of Miss., was a member of the Bush 41 WH Staff.

7. Bobby Jindahl of LA got his start in politics as staff on one of Bush 41's study commissions.

8. Sen. Lamar Alexander, Bush 41's Sec. of Education, is a former Chancellor of the U of Tn. Lamar's political benefactors, the Haslam Family of Knoxville, are the largest single donors to U Tn and to the school's Athletic Program. Patriarch Big Jim Haslam has been on the UT Board for decades (probably appointed or reappointed by Lamar, but I don't remember).

9. Republicans control most of the levers of power in SEC states.

10. SMU and the Dallas market, added to aTm, would give the SEC a major presence in the nation's #1 recruiting territory.

11. Bush 43 plays golf with June Jones and works out in the team's weight room.

Will SMU go to the SEC? I don't know, but if the Bush Family engages, the school will have more political muscle behind it than any of the other possibilities. The Bush Family's 16 years in the White House are looking better every day.

Flame Away.

no way we go to the SEC.

If anything, the SEC will take a state school & probably to the east. I don't think Vandy has enough weight or even cares about helping another private into "their" conference. They're paid to be a doormat & keep quiet. In other words, go sit in your corner & shut up! You're paid to be seen but not heard. If anything, it'll be TAMU (or TX) & no one else in the West. (Pretty good source on that one).

However, it's fun to dream. IRS can't get you for that!

(Hope I'm wrong but don't think so on this one)

12 or 20 depending on how you count it, but not 16.

in 2012 we'd beat Vandy, A&M, Miss State and probably Arkansas for old time sake

Can you say $20 million in your pocket?

Year 1, sure.

Year 4, no way.

This is my frustration with SMU, and I am not looking at this through red and blue colored glasses.

We could have indeed been Top 25, all the intangibles are there. We p*ssed it away.
