Second hardest thing for me. Hardest is still trying to lose the 80 lbs. I have gained since quitting 14 years ago. Some of that may not be totally related to the smoking thing however. I think some of it is related to the eating thing.

I believe our 2003 class was rated in the Rivals top 60. Lets hope we "finish strong" as Coach Bennett has said we will.
Don't get me wrong, I wish we'd take ten three stars every year, but those ten from the 2003 class were, for the most part, a let-down. Sturdivant and Muse are the only three stars I see that have made a difference on the field out of that class.

You mean rivals stars don't automatically dictate on-field success?
Stunning.

My mother quit smoking after 30 years by getting an hour of hypnotism 3 days in a row. My father still smokes right in front of her, and she hasn't had a craving since. Very strange.
Yeah! Whats goin on Mrydel..I mean SMU LB..or..whatever!
Incidentally, I think I will go down to Dallas the 7th for the party and the BB game. The General is in Washington D.C. for a year working with the Pentagon guys, so WHy the heck NOT go to Dallas!

Good thinking, they will never be able to weed you out from the other ponyfans posters since the largest following of Pony Nation resides in Sherwood Arkansas.

No one on here is a high school football coach or a college football coach.. Stop worrying about how our class is ranked..All rankings are BS, we will know how the good the class is as a whole is in 4 years and we will know about the gems when and if they start.. Until then DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT...

Also in 2005, 3 out of 4 three star recruits that stayed in school made a tremendous impact. DT Adrian Haywood ( 2 year starter and probably SMU's best DL since DP, QB Justin Willis (starter and freshman All American ) and WR starter Columbus Givens.
Don't just assume SMU won't outrecruit the big schools. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if our class Wednesday isn't close to or equal to either UT's or A&M's.
