I think he is getting frazzled...

President Turner,

Thanks for your response. I appreciate it, and understand how busy you must be.

I just want to be clear, at Coach Jones introduction in January of 2008, you stated that SMU admissions would be "Nationally Competitive" and "our students can play here or any other place for that matter."

With the recent news that Daryl Jackson will possibly be playing at Texas Tech this year on athletic scholarship, isn't this statement false, or a gross exaggeration of the truth?

I appreciate your hard work for the University, but if we handcuff our revenue sports of equal opportunities to compete, are we not just cheating all the alumni, student-athletes, coaches, and current students of a great opportunity?

A top tier athletic program is a good thing for SMU, and we should take all the steps possible to achieve this.

Thanks again,

NickSMU17


Dear Mr. NickSMU17:

To my knowledge, Texas tech is not among the schools pursuing Daryl Jackson.

Best wishes,

Gerald Turner

Not content with embarrassing the university and athletic department, Turner now seems determined to embarrass himself as a recruiting expert. Simply astounding.

What as asshloe....


This clown needs to be fired...

Turner needs to fire whomever he has assigned to monitoring ponyfans.

And get a Rivals subscription.

Now that was funny

makes you wish he ends up at tech.....just for fun.

Did he really say something that stupid? Please tell me you just made that up!

I think he said it b/c I am so baffled with what to write back...I try to be polite but I want to call the guy an [deleted]...

Sounds like a reply from MJ, his secretary. Doubt that was from GT...................

There is no way turner actually emailed that back to you.

I couldn't believe it either...

Jackson going to Tech proves nothing, it's an academic wasteland to people like Turner. You should have mentioned (and it's more likely) that he might go to UCLA.
