OK let's just do a little test-how many parents of former players post on this board.

The issue F&%^-face is whether or not they have a right to an opinion, which you don't think they have a right to.

Does being a parent of a former player and being a former player as well count?

No. Okay I made that up.

No the discussion involved long term solutions to SMU's historical underperformance in Football. That's the context I made that comment-or were you taking my point out of context-I thought you were.. Hey I applaud parents of SMU Fans that stay involved but the vast majority do not.

If you haven't noticed, the vast majority of SMU-anything do not stay involved.

I do, and I didn't even like anyone there.

I have a son who played for five years, and another who I hope gets the chance to do so. I had never visited SMU before my son's official visit, and now I will remain a PonyFan for the rest of my life, whether my younger son gets to play there or not.

And we appreciate you. Thank you, and all the best for your children.

I raised two former SMU student-athletes, and they follow their school's athletic teams as closely through this site as their mother and I do.

I know there are a lot of former players on here.

Don't you mean parents of SMU players? :roll:

And while we're on the subject, do you applaud fans of SMU who went to other schools who have also stayed involved?

Yes, but only if they went to Div-1 schools.

But never fear, MrMustang3.14159, I also applaud ponyfans who pat themselves on the back for staying involved.

I'm sure Stallion appreciates that.
