[BIGHORSE]

Thanks, I will check it out.

@ 10?

It was at 6. Hansen did the interview from studio, with Padron at Ford Stadium, (I think.)

Padron was great. Mentioned a couple of times the team wanted to go to The Liberty Bowl this year.

After interview, Hansen noted that SMU had recentedly turned down a couple of NCAA qualifiers and that the school evidently didn't want to talk about it. He said as a condition for interviewing Padron he had to agree not to bring it up.

I'm surprised Hansen agreed to that.

[BIGHORSE]

But of course Hansen brought it up after the interview.

[Pony Up Class of 85]

He is such an ahole

[Insane_Pony_Posse]

He is such an ahole

totally

[TheBestAvailable]

It needs to be brought up. That's the only way it will change.

[Pony Up Class of 85]

Agreed it needs to be public, but Dale takes glee at poking us.

[SMU89]

Well he did a good job on the 10 o'clock news.

paraphrasing....

SMU has football problem nobody is willing to talk about. Mentions 2 recruits ncaa accept and smu deny. If it's the right decision they should be wiling to talk.

Jones can't be too happy

But talk to TCU Gary Patterson......now there is a happy man. Then there is abbot 4 minutes of frog ribbit.

So let me get this straight.

SMU: "You can talk to Padron, but not if you're going to mention the admissions scenario."
Dale: "No sweat."

So then he talks to Padron, and mentions it anyway? I know the media is a necessary part of life in college athletics, but this guy is a world-class tool. He ambushed Coach Jones a couple of years ago, and then he went against the spirit of his agreement with SMU. The school has to stop giving him interviews. One of his minions can do it, but it should get to the point where you don't do anything that involves Hansen. He swears he doesn't dislike SMU, but his actions say otherwise ... loud and clear.

Right on brother.

[EastStang]

It may have been that the agreement was that you can't talk to Padron about it, which would be a fair ground-rule. That is an administration/coaching question and answer, not one for a 19 year old QB to answer because there is no good answer. JMHO.
