What's the deal?

Yes, but who watches the Watchmen? (can't wait for this movie...!)

I'm guessing it was the lack of any remote SMU tie-in.

At least the burger wars are about Dallas-area eateries where SMU folks can (and do) stuff their faces, and the Bush Library talk affects the campus, the perception of our university, the occasional story from another university's athletic department (i.e. Kelvin Sampson soap opera) can be read to infer a parallel if a similar situation happened here, etc.

Kathy Bates won an Oscar and she's an SMU grad. Where's Dooby when you need him?

...and they showed Greer Garson and Bob Hope who both have SMU connections.
