The move will bring new faces to Dallas and send the Mustangs to new venues on the road, but Doherty said his team will not adapt to any type of Big East system, but rather will continue to implement the same foundations the team utilized in C-USA.

"I'd like to hope they can adjust to us," Doherty said. "We're not going to change much. We'll play our matchup zone and we'll play our offense, which is actually kind of like Georgetown, so I like to be different. I don't like to be like everyone else, but I think the neat thing about the Big East is they have different kinds of teams."

As far as recruiting goes, Doherty has a card up his sleeve that he thinks will be a hot selling point for East-Coast standouts, literally. SMU students enjoyed a walk to class Thursday in shorts and flip flops, which is a style that won't be seen in the Northeast for several more months.

"Get a recruit to come down here and it's 60. It's a beautiful place and I know how to pitch it," Doherty said.

Doh needs to pitch the hot girls at SMU. That is what convinced me to go to SMU.

I am sure he does, just not something to mention in the media. I have heard him say that SMU does not have mountains or beaches, but we have plenty of natural resources - they are 6 feet tall and blonde.

When I had my visit to SMU, they sent me to a class called "Advanced Financial Management." After realizing the class was full of gorgeous women, A&M was out and I making reservations for the Freshman Quad.
