Discussing Mack to SMU on Sports Day on Air Fox Sports Southwest. Says don't do it because SMU is a coaching graveyard.
Gerry, stick to baseball.

What a [deleted]!

Says we won't score a point at ECU.

I get the feeling he doesn't like us. You mad Bro?

Maybe I'm just clueless, but is it that hard for SMU Athletics to convince the local media to spin some pro-SMU news/opinions? I'm not talking about covering up negative developments, but just getting the talking heads to focus on positives: $$$, recruiting hotbed, top 50 academics, etc.

If you look at it objectively can you blame anyone in the media for having that opinion? Until a coach comes in here and starts winning meaningful games, that perception will continue.

Is that a rare opinion? Hard to get upset by that prediction.

The Dallas media also laughed at the Larry Brown hire. Especially JJT of the a Fort Worth Star Telegram. Screw them.

JJT was the only one who I'm aware of that had bad things to say about the hire. Many in the national media did as well. BTW, he works for the Dallas Morning News, ESPN and SMU, not the Star Telegram.

yeah, meaningful games

You are right JJT works for TDMN. Did he ever work for the FWST?

I don't think so. He went to Skyline and Ohio St. He teaches a class or two at SMU now.

Wow. I hadn't heard Fraley's name in like 10 years. Sounds like I didn't miss anything.

I don't know why I thought he did. My bad.

Fraley's a solid MLB writer. I have no idea why he's commenting on college football though.
