What a stupid rationalization... People like you are making it just as miserable being an SMU fan as it was during the PB years.
Rationalization or not, no sane person lets people they don't know on some message board dictate their major life decisions.
Lest you forget...we are talking about 17 and 18 year old kids. Think back to when you were that age and someone made derogatory remarks about you...how would you have reacted? There are very few "sane" teenagers. Once again folks this is not a private conversation at a bar over drinks. It is a public forum and although there is a large degree of anonymity, we should still try to be civil in our interactions...IMHO.
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.
