I heard a rumor today...that 5 or so players were declared ineligible today. I haven't heard anything or seen anything else about it, so is this just a rumor?
Derail the Frogs!

Re: I heard a rumor todayCould it be on incoming recruits because I think we heard a couple were borderline. But you know what? If you're on this roster and you didn't take care of your work in the classroom, you just let your teammates and coaching staff down.
This is what I mean by "It's the little things, folks."
Re: I heard a rumor today
That sounds somewhat like what I heard. Derail the Frogs!
Re: I heard a rumor today
If you're on any roster at any school, and you don't make the grades to play, you let your teammates and coaching staff — and administration and fan base — down. That isn't a scenario that's unique to SMU.
Re: I heard a rumor todayIncoming recruits.............
Re: I heard a rumor todayI guess there's going to be five more openings in next year's recruiting class. TCU signs academic risks and doesn't get burned. We do and we do get burned. Welcome to SMU football.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna
Re: I heard a rumor today
Really ? Are you kidding? Let me explain this to you in language that you can even understand. Given the fact that we have posted only 2 non-losing seasons since our return in 1989 and given the fact that we have won 2 of our last 25 regular season games and given the fact that the winning percentage of the program has drifted below .500 in our history, we have to be better than most when it comes to this stuff. Other SUCCESSFUL programs may be able to overcome, but we can't. There is no margin for error with this group. The little things are about going to class and passing, attending any and all team meetings on time (5-10 minutes before they start), attending practice at 100 percent unless there is an acceptable conflict, attend all conditioning workouts,..etc. GET IT? I'm just amazed that you wanted to debate this point. Given your dislike for me -- odd -- I can see why you did this. If this was anybody else, you would have read it and move on. Well, enjoy your day.
Re: I heard a rumor todaysay gomer...when u come to all of the stang games...and put a cork in that trash talk of goin' to see other teams...people may give ya an ear....till then....shut yo face...peeps are sick of your blow hard bull s///
Re: I heard a rumor today2112112112112112112112112112112112112112112 -- My biggest fan. I love it. And congratulations on keeping your streak alive of having a post with profanity in it. You're such a big man.
Re: I heard a rumor todayEvery Patton post in the last 3 months:
The little things! [insert litany of obvious things players should do] GET IT? Yes, we all get it. We already got it before. Nobody thinks academic ineligability is a good thing. "I think Couchem is right."

Re: I heard a rumor today
Relax - your driveling ultimatums and tough talk gets a little old. First of all, this is probably regarding incoming recruits (since it's the same number that we know are probably not going to be eligible). It's a positive to see that we're now able to look at academically marginal recruits. If they don't make it in, maybe we can get them in the future - if they don't, they don't count against scholarship limits but at least we'll get some of them and they'll be athletes we couldn't have gotten had they had better grades. Texas Tech and lots of other BCS teams play this game all the time to get USC/UT caliber talent with marginal academics. It's a good sign we can play this game too...you act like people attack you but you attack everyone and everything first. Come on
Re: I heard a rumor todaywe oversigned anyway-its obvious Jones knew that several wouldn't make it. Doesn't really open up spots-it just means less players will greyshirt.

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.
Re: I heard a rumor todayI speculated at the beginning that this was incoming recruits. If that's the case, then fine. I don't know if you really count on an incoming recruit to make an impact unless he's all that.
Now, if this is a Chris Butler, Bryce Tennison kind of thing, then we have a problem. BTW, how does anything think we have been doing in the little things department over the years? It's the little things, folks!
Re: I heard a rumor todayLike you said you heard a rumor-let's just chill and see if there is any truth to your source.
