DMN Blog: SMU fans - are you losing faith? Or can you just

NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE?

SMU's long, long wait continues

SMU├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ós search for a football coach is going on 40 days. Top target Paul Johnson doesn├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót appear in a hurry to make a decision.

The Navy coach is weighing opportunities at Duke, Georgia Tech and SMU. And he could always stay in Annapolis, where he├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ós well-compensated.

Athletic director Steve Orsini knew full well that he had tough competition before giving Johnson a Hilltop tour on Tuesday. The only thing that surprises me about the situation is that Johnson is still mulling things over, keeping four football programs in limbo.

Some folks around town have started scoffing that SMU can├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót find anybody that wants to be its coach. Even after raising some $10 million.

I give Orsini credit for aiming high. Many people I├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬óve chatted with in the past month have been impressed with his aggressive determination to land the right coach. I can├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót believe he doesn├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót have a solid backup plan.

SMU fans - are you losing faith? Or can you just not take it anymore?

that girls writing sounds like she is as worn out with this thing as we are, which means one thing... reading PF is her ONLY source.

I think Kate is toying with us pf.com'rs with that last line.

Know how we get something done? The header on the next blog needs to read "Johnson, other targets continue to toy with Steve-O, SMU"

That'll get the mob boss doing something.

When Kate says "I can├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót believe he doesn├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót have a solid backup plan. ", is she telling us Orsini doesn't have a backup plan, or that she thinks he has one? You really can read this two different ways.

The only thing I'm real sick of is all the "trash blog talk" from the DMN. I hope Orsini's next job, after securing our football program with a great coach, is to influence the DMN to stop all the ""trash talk" their terrible writers love to throw out about SMU. The DMN needs some reporters covering SMU that aren't constantly putting out a bunch of unfair junk......I love free speech, but the DMN has become so bias against SMU it is rediculous.

"I can├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót believe he doesn├â┬ó├óΓÇÜ┬¼├óΓÇ₧┬ót have a solid backup plan."

An odd thing to say when she doesn't even seem to be well acquainted with Orsini's current plans

So she's clearly talkin trash. Well, Jokes on her. She's the one who's got the SMU detail, which is one step above delivering the paper.

She wouldn't have known that if I hadn't started the Ponyfans Held Hostage thread. Don't worry, Kate...I'm keepin' count for ya! :lol:

would you people relax? deep breaths.. you don't even know how she meant it.. nor does it even matter in the grand scheme of things.

EmeraldCityPony · Post by **EmeraldCityPony** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 5:57 am

I think what she meant was:

"I refuse to believe that he does not have a solid backup plan. "

I think maybe we should have more positive thoughts on the board since we all know she has no intelligent thoughts of her own and she pulls all her stories off of pf.com

What a stupid%^&*(.

I think she's mad at us because someone offered that she should be paid in Krispy Kremes. You hurt her little feelings. :roll:
