From the home office, High on the Hilltop, the top 10 reasons SMU is winning so many recruiting battles.

10. Sign with SMU, get a free pet Mustang to keep in your dorm room
9. Opposing coaches getting "fresh ideas" from Strom Thurmond
8. New feature at Ford Stadium: sideline massages
7. SMU players play all games in cowboy boots
6. Raft floating in the fountain in front of Dallas Hall
5. Stylish red and blue uniforms to be adorned with fashionable "We Got In" patch
4. Players fear spending too much time in Austin would leave them sounding like President Bush
3. New gameday ritual: Frog-stomping
2. Dallas weather prevents sunburn on trips to Hawaii

And the #1 reason SMU is winning so many recruiting battles:

1. Pre-game meals: Cheese fries from Snuffer's!

You forgot Reason 1A:

300 kids attend SMU Summer Football Camp... A camp whose entrance was (coincidentally) moved to the Barr pool.

Hadn't thought of that one.
Maybe I should have offered a Top 11 list?

Hey! #4 isn't funny. (Well, OK, it is funny....)
But #8 and #3 are great!
