Cool idea. Have a brew with Rhonda. She's really cool to talk with. Have had a couple of nice chats with her on the boulevard.

Watch out for the little guard from FW Dunbar that we got. Fast.

That team should contend for the CUSA title this year. I would be disappointed if they don't get at least to the WNIT this year.

I agree with you on all counts. Rhonda and her staff are some of the greatest people you'll ever meet, and I'm looking forward to this. I also agree that this team should have a really strong year - like conference champs.

Where are all the props and kudos for the marketing people? Buy a guy a beer...hell I'll take a cold one over pony + up arrow any day.

Good job someone.

Or, more appropriately, BRILLIANT!

Brilliant indeed.
I love SMU, I love basketball and I love beer.
Looking forward to meeting the coaches.
