Got a response from Toohey

[lollaperuna]

Someone needs to ask him if he ever gets cold up in the moral high ground.

Well played, Dowager Countess.

Glad to see there is at least one other Downton watcher on the board. She is greatness and that line cracked me up!

Response from AP editor:


I’ll have someone talk to Terry this week, particularly after the game last night.

Thanks,

Ha! That's interesting. Good job.

[Treadway21]

Very interesting. Sometimes the Internet is good.

I agree that he can do what he wants, but some points he needs to consider:

He is the only one using this criteria.

SMU has been punished by the NCAA with several sanctions and we are dealing with it. Toohey is essentially also deciding to punish us, as if the NCAAA sanctions were not enough.

He needs to think long and hard about those two statements and then decide if his stance is still justifiable.

Eff him and his philosophy

[blackoutpony]

That's awesome. F Toohey.

Maybe if we send a giant box of donuts and an electric scooter for him to scurry his fat A55 around in, he'll vote for us.

[stl.pony]

Incredible. Well done.

[skyscraper]

Good job! The AP folks are the only ones who could force him to change.
Love our increasingly feisty and spirited fan base.

[Treadway21]

Just like the team. Chip on shoulder.

About time we put our supposed (and sometimes real) sense of entitlement to use.

Someone posted a link to the requirements of AP voting and they actually don't get to do what they want. There are some parameters they have to follow. One of them is vote according to performance of the teams. I think a strong case can be made that he is not voting based on performance of the team. The points above are also important.
