SMU Season Preview

Postby PK » Wed Aug 08, 2001 6:20 pm

OK guys and gals...who do we e-mail the CNN Sports Illustrated article posted on the Home page to?

Copeland?...he already knows what it says without reading it.

Turner?...he ought to know what it says, but then...

Board of trusties?...would they do anything once they read it?

Alumni?...they definitely ought to read it just in case they haven't been paying attention.

How do we get our program going in the right direction? It irks me to no end that tcu can do it, but we just stand there with a stupid look on our collective face!

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

PK, I totally agree. That article ticks me off to no end. Actually I think it embarrasses me more than anything. I hope that we'll see the end of articles like this after this year. I'm tired of always hoping to have a break-out season.

I think it's an insult to all the great players who have worn an SMU jersey, the fans that loyally support the Stangs, and College football in general, for our administration not to do what it takes to put SMU back on the football map. There is no reason why it can't be done. Certainly the stadium and changing admissions is going to help a little, but we need to go further in changing admissions and offer athletic friendly majors like kinisiolgy(sp?) .

In the name of Doak, Turner, turn this program around!!!!!!
