Behind DMN Paywall. Addresses the horse situation again, as well as JJ's charitable pursuits.
http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/colleg ... season.eceThe gift of the mustangs can still be a touchy subject. Some SMU supporters have worried their beloved, longtime Shetland pony mascot, Peruna, was being pushed aside. But Jones said his players wanted to be represented by real mustangs.
The change is part of his cultural conversion of SMU football. He’s taken the Mustangs to consecutive bowl games after a quarter-century drought, and SMU is expected to contend for the C-USA title this fall.
Jones incorporates the well-traveled Liberty and Justice — they even went to the 2009 Hawaii Bowl with SMU, thanks to Pickens — into the team’s evolution.
“They were different than normal horses,†Jones said. “They carry themselves differently. Walk differently. They have mana.

Is June Jones' bizarre paganism really appropriate for a methodist school?

If the University's message was in any way related to the Methodist church, then it would probably not be appropriate. We're not exactly Baylor.

HAH! There isn't anything higher than an A+, but you're making a strong case to just make up a new letter.

Nice one, hockeyguy - I didn't catch it the first time. Time for Mustang Mana shirts - in black of course.

I thought of June, Liberty, and Justice when I made my weekly donation to the local pantry, cans of Alpo and a big container of Elmers. Mana man. Peruna Up.

Sorry, but if our slogan this year is actually "Mustang Mana" than I'm probably going to take a self-imposed timeout for a little while. Ridiculous.

I suspect you will not have to worry about that Hockey Boy.
Im surprised by the lack of angst and knashing of teeth after the June Jones story. Or maybe everyone's at band camp and havent logged onto the website yet.
