IT'S OFFICIAL: Jones takes frosh approach

[ozfan]

anybody think JWill is going to transfer because of this decision?

He would be stupid not to. Tulane lost their qb to probaseball and were weak at that position. He could set for a year and still have a good playing year or two.

[HB Pony Dad]

Has anyone called for June Jones firing over this?

You're the first.

Nope. He asked a question, counselor. He did not make a statement to that effect.

Obviously SMU is paying JJ, and not one of us here on Ponyfans, big $$$ to make these decisions .

My suggestion is to let the professionals make the football decisions while we sit back and play Monday Morning QB's after the final whistle blows.

Just my $0.02 from the lovely Hilton Anatole in beautiful downtown Dallas!

[SmooBoy]

They moved the Anatole to downtown? That must have been some flatbed.

Do I need geography lessons?

USC's geography department is obviously very overrated!

[PK]

From some of the Anatole rooms, I believe you can see the Dallas downtown skyline about a half mile or so away...particularly spectacular at night.

anyone know of a D1 quarterback who has led his team to a winning season without any D1 experience? I can think of two...Mitch Mustain at Arkansas his freshman year and Max Hall at BYU last year. Hall hadn't played since 2003 when he was in high school.

[kent dorfman]

should we be shocked that Jones is going with the only guy HE RECRUITED? And a coaches' son as the other choice?

Looks like the decision of a guy who is confident he will have 5 years to get this thing turned around. Makes those 1st 2 games even more interesting. Nothing like a national TV debut for the kid.

You know as daunting as that sounds, how many people are going to spend their Friday nights watching SMU play Rice? Not too many outside of us diehards.

Hmmm....yeah didn't he have DMcFadden and other solid players around him (which I assume he would, Arkansas usually pulls decent talent)? Not to take away from such an accomplishment but I'd rather be in his shoes than Bo's.

The L-O-W-E-R-I-N-G of expectations game has begun. Who was that wise poster who refused to make a prediction before the starting lineups were announced. The rest of you are cooked-we've got your predictions and they will live in infamy!!!!!!!!! EDIT and ERASE!

Although you’re boorish opinion ions have at time bordered on the actions of a richard cranium you have proved to be more right than wrong in most things and seen to have a good array of facts at your disposal. How do you see this playing out do I book a seat on a flight to see a few games late in the season are do I wait a few years.

Prediction on SMU v Rice attendance: 44,500. Any Katy residents who aren't dove hunting will be there.

Haha that's creative . I'll take the jtstang route as I have since JJ was hired and not have any expectations. Soon it will be time to see what we are working with. The sky ain't falling people.

Hmmm good point. And they'll be rooting for Bo's team. Hey that's the team we'll be rooting for!

Right, but I am just trying to figure out the success stories. Maybe that will help me keep my hopes up.

Dove hunting dosen't open until Monday. I will be back from our win Houston in time to shoot a couple of cases of shells, and drink a couple of cold ones.

Katy dove hunters start drinking at the lease on Friday.
