You're right. 40,000 fans at UH or 2300 fans at SMU. Being at the 2nd most diverse school in the country or a preppy rich kid school. Tough decision. :roll:

You really suck at making salient points here.

The opportunities offered at UH that SMU can't match are numerous.

For instance, when will you ever get the chance to get mugged or robbed on campus at SMU...or have your car stolen?

Great pickup. Early enrollee gives us competition with Davis in the Spring. I think we will take one more, but that really depends on who of the current group sticks around. Colbert will be given a shot at QB. They will do what they can to keep Severt because they want to keep a good rep with the in state coaches. Not sure about the other QBs.

The Houston guys are all being gracious because of the rumors of their new coach bringing players and recruits with him from OSU. They are all hoping he brings a Q with him.

Krstich and Cassel definitely do not fit the mold, Severt is a wild card (practice gurus love him but he had no other offers out of HS) and Colbert just isn't an FBS QB.



Krstich is a walk on with one year of eligibility left..I'm sure he'll stick around to run scout team

I'll take the one that actually gets ranked, not only consistently but also highly, in academic standings. :roll:

Great job by HCCM and staff, welcome Ben. Go 'Stangs! Need some big nasties on each side of the ball to start coming in as well.

He's looking up what his friends have been doing for kicks, after having begged a DART ticket to Mockingbird station...

Really isn't much to do between shift changes at 7-11.

I'd love to get away from the UH/7-11 jokes. Makes me think we're a self important, entitled and homogenous group laughing at a school that better reflects the demographics of this country
