And you have to do this in the year 2020. Then you'll see it. Probably.

Fantastic, this was all a joke. Nice...

Arkansas's football, baseball and softball teams each have their own individual IPFs...

Odds are high that Chad's son won't have an IPF at his high school. Have fun going from Highland Park High to Frisco or Prosper High (or whatever the high school is up there in Arkansas/Oklahoma).

The boy is staying at HP with Mom. Just a short ride on Jerry’s plane for Friday nights.

So you guys are upset because chad was promised an ipf and didn’t get one. Except now one is actually under construction that he approved but he left anyway and you’re upset we are building an ipf. Got it.

I believe it was a cruel joke (regarding construction) given the 2020 comment...

It’s not a joke. It will fit very nicely onto Bishop and have an 80yd field.

IMO they didn’t need a turf field 40 yards away from their official turf field anyway...

Concern: is 80 yards long enough to practice our traditional kickoff coverage?

everyone is now acting like SMU's lack of an IPF is why Chad accepted a P5 job at a place that gives him an opportunity to compete for a national championship. Really? This is a promotion to "The Show" from the minor leagues and anyone who doesn't see that has their heads stuck in the sand. I'm just thankful that this time we have an opportunity to move forward rather than operate with a coach who has lost all motivation to keep improving our program. I would expect whoever we hire to come in here with fire in his belly. Ready to give Hart a chance to do his job well. After all, he brought Chad here, didn't he?

80 yards is the same size as TCU’s IPF. Glad Chad was able to get that started. He left SMU a better place than when he got here.

I could be wrong but I would bet there is still time to do the original ΓÇ£bigΓÇ¥ facility if someone will send about $135 million next week.

That's twice as far as we can realistically kick the ball.

How much for the underground renderings, a bottle of scotch, and a prerecorded message from Hart saying they’re committed to excellence?

A lot of people wanting to spend other people’s money.
