Garbage. I don'tike to praise our basketball team while throwing out football team under the bus. Too much respect for HCCM.

It was a mildly amusing, but truly ridiculous article. Thanks for sharing it, but the whole premise is ludicrous (though it did make for some early work day entertainment).

Publicity is good press.

It's a ridiculous premise, but funny nonetheless.

All publicity is good publicity.
It's a silly premise, but I laughed once or twice.

Total fantasy and one hopefully will read it as such. Speculating whether a BB team could beat a FB team is like asking if a ballroom dancing couple could beat a hockey team. Both are team sports. Ballroom dancing is a contact sport just like BB. Hockey is hitting sport just like football. Nice speculation but total fantasy.

That said, I would love to see MK line up at tight end for the Mustangs.

The sad thing is we made it possible for somebody to write this.

To much respect for HCCM really? The guy has done nothing.. More money to hoops, that;s our niche. Play D and move the ball. SMU football is a farce, even though i like the new head man
