June & Johnny

[mtrout]

I am concerned this football board has ~2 posts per day.

[mrydel]

And you just used up both of them.

I don’t care what all the haters say, I still like June Jones and love his second chance mentality. I hope it works out and Johnny makes it back to the NFL through playing for June.

Art briles also had a second chance mentality...

[mtrout]

Remember JJ tried to hire Art Briles last year at the Hamilton Tiger Cats. He got vetoed.

seriously? honestly people just don't care anymore....maybe a few hundred really care....it's the embarrassing crowds at most games...really embarrassing in the the 2nd half whether we are winning or losing, the students don't care, the alumni don't care, the coaching revolving door....3 coaches in last 5 years, the losing, the broken "promises", sure we are all excited once again about our new coach...but many are just finding other things to do....it's sad....but hey....it is what it is

for further evidence mostly nobody cares...

Maybe people don't care, but that picture is totally misleading. That was an early game on a Friday night and lots of people were battling rush hour traffic. This page shows the real crowd size for that game: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=82481&start=15

[Maybe people don't care, but that picture is totally misleading.

the bottom line is whether it's that picture or dozens and dozens of others...our attendance sucks....around #87 in the country in a small stadium ..don't we have less than 10K season ticket holders?...and I wonder what percentage of the season ticket holders show up for most games?...and stay at games even until the 4th quarter?..I will take some pics this season in the 3rd quarter and we'll see how "misleading" it looks

Where did this desperate dive into nihilism come from? As Jason said above, it gets quiet on this board every summer. Has for the almost 20 years I've been posting here.

Regarding the program, everybody knows we're not Texas A&M and never will be, attendance wise. But why crap on everything when we've got a new coach who's recruiting guns-a-blazes and every hope for a fun few years?

Thank you PB.
Been Mustang fan since 1960. Don't understand why people post debbie downer post. We have some things to work on. I for one would like to see Mustangs work at SMU. Other than Bob S. Dont know a mover or shaker that is red and blue blood.


Just got a feeling here. Sonny LOVES tis GIG. Lets not throw barriers in the road to better.

[mrydel]

Ramon is pure red and blue. He is doing good things with getting the old guard back.

[ponyboy]

It's amazing he can pull off that player relations job in addition to quarterbacking his final year on the Hilltop.

[mrydel]

So he did get approved for his 8th year?

Pending the thumbs up from one of your subcommittees.
