JJ is burning this thing to the ground

by **Pony81** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 11:25 pm

When JJ announced that BLM was going to be his starting QB I said that this is a wasted season. We were going to go 1-11.

I was pissed.
Pissed that my 4 season tickets were wasted.
Pissed that my 1K contribution to the mustang club based on "hope" made me feel foolish
Pissed that my 2 sons have lost whatever interest they had in attending an SMU game.
Pissed that there would never be any energy or enthusiasm at the stadium.
Pissed that I would once again be denied a bona fide D1 program.

So I now conclude the following:
Season 1: Burn it to the ground. SMU is the D1 equivelent of a crack house. A run down building with a culture of despair.
Season 2: The rebuilding begins.
Season 3: .500
Season 4: If we don't extend his contract, recruits know he is headed back to the islands and we go back into the cycle.

So, no more season tickets. Reduced Mustang Club donations. I'm 30+years into this thing and until I see a product that ISN'T the among the worst teams in D1, I'm staying away.

I'm ranting.

Disappointed that JJ couldn't find a way to have a decent season in the worst division in D1. Even with our sub pat talent, we should be able to beat SOMEBODY in D1.

How does this guy cash those enormous paychecks with a straight face? June Jones should apologize by giving half his salary back to the Mustang Club. He'd still be an overpaid multi-millionaire.

Put the green-eyed monster back in the chest. You're not paying one cent of his salary (I assume), and neither is the Mustang Club.

I am not thrilled with the way this season has panned out, but I am very proud of our football program for making the decision to do things right. We are lucky to have a guy like June working on our campus, in my opinion. I have no doubt this will work. I feel sorry for those of you that do.

Hey dude, the monster has been out of the chest for 21 years. Enough is enough. Anybody that bought a ticket this year contributed to Junes paycheck. And if that comes out to one penney, then I guess you get what you paid for.

I know I have burned my pastures to rid it of the things I didn't want there and then was able to grow the things I did want.

Truly spoken like a fan with all of less than one season under his belt.

The program has been a wreck for 20 years. Sure it it frusterating we have essentially flushed another season away but JJ has said this is about building a program. He has said the things he is doing now with the program are about having a competitive, winning team 5, 7, 10 years from now and not just having a quick fix. JJ has to install his rules and create a winning culture the way he knows how. I am not disappointed in JJ. I am disappointed in the players and the past anti-competitive rules that got us where we are today.
