If u not gonna play for your coaches, at least play for your teammates! We lost big b4 but we have never not shown any type of fight!

@Tank_Reed1911 dad who cares. Nobody wants to play for a school who doesn't see football as anything important.

@Bease11 I think u got a point. Even when we was going to bowl games and even a conference championship game it wasn't much support...

@jhofeditz @Tank_Reed1911 if football was important they'd do anything they could to make it better. I was there for 4 yrs. They don't.

@Tank_Reed1911 I'm pissed I even have to go back if I want my degree. They need online courses. Only reason I went is I had no other option

@Tank_Reed1911 I got 18 and it's not like they transfer out anywhere else I don't wanna go back there and it's not cause they aren't good.

Jones brainwashed them. Team only beat teams that should have been beat. Diamonds.

[SMU 86]

They sound like Eric Dickerson.

What a sick sick culture under June Jones

[lwjr]

Sounds like it was JJ and players against the school type of atmosphere

[RGV Pony]

And again neither of those boys writing any checks.

[sbsmith]

Not surprising at all, we've seen hints of this in the past. "Only reason I went is I had no other option" is exactly why they're so loyal to June.

[Rebel10]

And again neither of those boys writing any checks.

And from the sounds of it they won't be.

[couch 'em]

Is that what June meant by "only want players who want to be there"?

[tristatecoog]

Wow, and I liked Cole Beasley.

[couch 'em]

I guess part of June's buyout is he can't trash the school in the media so he uses others to do so

[mrydel]

Wonder if Lee represents either of them?

[ftworthmustang]

Clean house. Everything related to JJ out. BB proves we will support a real team. JJ's cult ends.

[lwjr]

How can you verify they are actually who they are?

This doesn't surprise me a ton. The student body (meaning greek life i.e. the social scene) has never embraced the football players since I've been here. I mean in terms of support, night time activities, on campus during the day, etc. I can see why they had a mentality of them against the school, because they honestly were/are not very welcome by their peers.

In distinct contrast to that the basketball team is currently being treated like gods by the student body, and I would bet that as a consequence they have a very different opinion of SMU as a whole, and their experience here.
