My nephew was wearing a LONGHORN hat. I told him that was just wrong. I guess I'll have to get him a Pony hat to wear.

How about having to open presents staring at a santa dressed up in TCU gear? With my nephew running around laughing because he got TCU Fwogs (he is 4) t-shirts.

One more - At least my sister has agreed to sneak in some SMU outfits for my niece.

get the kids hooked while they are young. the only hat my son will wear most willingly is his "go ponies" hat.

Go Ponies!

I'm trying to do my part -- I gave SMU gear to kids of friends who graduated from SMU (of course), Texas, Arkansas, Yale, Indiana, NYU, TCU and New Mexico.

That is the worst thing I've ever heard. Talk about taking the Christ outta Christmas...

"My nephew was wearing a LONGHORN hat. I told him that was just wrong. I guess I'll have to get him a Pony hat to wear."

my son luvs the tea-sips b/c his grandmother lives in texas (texarkana) -

he luvs baseball where they excel (unfortunately) -

thx God he'll go to school in calif when we cross that step & NOT TEXAS!!!

putting it another way, i'll make sure his baseball scouting videos will never end up in austin, berzerkley's sister city -

I guess the first step is getting recruited. If he has choices, go to the school with the best coach whether that's UT, Rice, Tulane or the Little Sisters of the Poor. If he doesn't get recruited, choose a school with a good coach and not many scholarship players. As I learned at SMU, as an all-league second baseman in high school, who got cut, the vision of the coach is equally important. During hitting tryouts on the first pitch, I squared around to bunt and laid down a perfect bunt. Coach Finley said, "son we don't do that [do do] around here." Since I drove in about a dozen runs on squeeze bunts in high school, that was a serious problem. You see he coach envisioned a power line-up. I had played in a scratch for every run you can get environment which meant contact hitting, squeeze bunts, stolen bases and solid defense.
