SMU may have been snubbed by the NCAA Selection Committee, but President Barack Obama is optimistic about their tournament chances in 2015.

"My suspicion is that they'll be back stronger than ever," Obama told FOX4's Clarice Tinsley during an exclusive White House interview on Wednesday afternoon.

I think we will as well. Glad we have the former president and current president on our side.

It is amazing how universal support for SMU has been this week.

Most people tend to usually find any way possible to hate us, but all of the support this week from everywhere has been quite a revelation.

Yes

No need to be a jerk when someone is giving us some kind words even if we don't agree with him on other issue. Let's not affirm into the SMU stereotype on this one.

Doesn't make a difference if he does or doesn't. I would think we would have more class than that. Especially since the kids on the team probably respect him.
