Wearing a blue shirt with 85 other passionate Mustang fans and holding a sign that read “Life After Death†made for a great afternoon.
When I got home, a die-hard SMU fan who could not make the trip asked me about the sign. We talked about the horrible past and came to the conclusion that maybe we need to begin writing a new story for football at SMU.
Bingo.
"Life After Death" was last year's slogan. It's "Life After Life" now. We've been known as "the school that got the death penalty" for 23 years. That's long enough.
Now that we've finally got something to hang our hat on in football, let's stop digging up the past along with every other ill-informed pundit.
If we don't stop bringing up the death penalty, neither will anyone else.
