The ugly uniform on that QB makes me think he's ready to clobber some guys at Tulsa, too.

I like him...though do love that we got a pic of his one INT and one of his two sacks...beautiful work by Smoopower!

Welcome to the hilltop Damon!

Beautiful work indeed, smoopower!

WELCOME TO SMU, Damon. The choice you've made to attend SMU is one of which you'll be proud for the rest of your life. We're proud to have you as a Mustang!

The Rivals version:

Navarro (Texas) C.C. linebacker Damon Hurst had offers from Baylor, New Mexico and Louisiana Tech, but it was an offer from SMU that he couldn't turn down. Hurst, a 5-foot-11, 220-pound inside linebacker committed to SMU on an official visit to Dallas here on Thursday and Friday. "It's a good fit," Hurst said. "They had everything I was looking for. They had a great location, a great opportunity to play and the coaches are great. It was just the perfect combination."

Hurst was recruited by Pony assistant Jim Gush.

Hurst had a good sophomore season and will have two years to play two seasons. He was a first-team all-conference selection after recording 93 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Hurst is originally from Waco, Texas.

I like the fact that we beat out the Big 12 (BU) and Mountain West (UNM).

Welcome to SMU, Damon!

I can definitely see the family resemblance.

Beating out Baylor is pretty good -- it's in the Big 12 and it's in his hometown. Congratulations, coaches!

by **giacfsp** » Sun Dec 18, 2005 11:46 am

Good point -- as a rule, I don't consider beating Baylor as much of a victory, but to snatch a guy away from BU when he's a Waco kid .... that's much more encouraging.
