Have you ever played these guys? I wouldn't mock them...they are tougher than you might think. They nearly killed my brother-in-law's entire high school team a few years ago.

Secondly, after the game last night I overheard some goofy student trying to impress his girlfriend by telling her this is why we need to dump football and put "more money into the sports SMU is actually good at. Like men's soccer and tennis." I really wanted to sit him down and explain about revenue and non-revenue sports.

I am sure he knows something about it. Dating is definitely a nonrevenue sport for a man. :wink:

I agree. SMU needs to kick dorks like that out. I could care less if we are number one in soccer. By the way, you should have hit that kid in the throat

SMU Football = Texa$ Tradition
SMU Basketball = Promise
SMU M/W Soccer = National Powers
SMU Volleyball, Equestrian and Rowing = Equality
SMU Swimming & Diving = Olympic History
SMU Tennis & Golf = Country Club prominence
SMU Women's T&F/CC = Half a loaf
SMU Men's Baseball/T&F/CC = RIP

Without FB's revenue, we have no non-revenue sports. Without non-revenue sports, we have no collegiate athletic programs.

FB defines SMU in Texas and beyond. A fact of life. But, Non-revenue rules!

I agree, and the only way to get revenue is to (besides winning) start playing games of relevance i.e. Texas/LSU. The Rumble in the Jungle wouldn't have sold a ticket had it been Ali v. nobody.
