I just have this feeling he stays. If UH comes up with anything reasonable, he stays.

Whatever can go wrong for SMU will.
The bizzare SMU curse was the inspiration for LOST.

Prediction....1 winning season in 5 years. Gone by 2012. Then SMU drops to the FCS in 2013...wins first of many national championships.

Be careful, Goose. Some people may not understand your since of humor on this board.

Yes, he currently has the island life, but, our cost of living is easier on the pocket book, and support for his staff and players will sway his wanting to come to SMU. I also think he's ready for a new challenge.
It will be interesting the next couple of days. I hope Steve Orsini has an internal communication system in place to inform the players before the official press conference.

SMU will always play down to the competition. We won't go over .500 after a couple years in I-AA

The Professor will find a way to get Jones off of that island! I just hope Jones brings Ginger and Mary Anne with him!

I think he's just going to use us as leverage.
I also think there are better options [see: our "second choice" candidates]
Up until now, I thought it could only get worse, but Orsini lucked out [or has somehow hidden his brilliance from me] and I'm optimistic. The perpetual Murphy's law finally expired for SMU.

Humor? Just for that I'm pulling for the buckeyes now.

I know you would never do that. LSU is your team now.

You were aware that one of the Professor's degrees was from SMU?
