25 Years and 5 Coaches - 24 Losing Seasons

Postby SMUstang » Thu Sep 24, 2009 9:36 am

I think after all this time I have earned the right to my opinion. I think that SMU football will never again be competitive because the University wants it that way. Please spare me from any more embarassment. For 25 years I have not been able to tell anyone that I am an SMU alum. Why pay a coach $2 mil per year to lose? Get rid of JJ and drop football.

Thank you for that in-depth analysis. You really brought a lot to this board by offering that opinion. Have you considered starting your own blog?

I also did not advertise that I was an SMU alum. I did not even wear my class-ring. Not because I was embarrassed by our football program but because I was very angry that the university stopped a group of passionate alums from taking action against the NCAA (on SMU's behalf) for selective enforcement of their rules. Like many I never stopped hoping and believing- always to end up disappointed. I did however wear an SMU soccer shirt :) because they used to be a very successful program. Now I can once again wear football regalia and not be laughed at. We may take a few years but I believe we will once again rise to national recognition.

GO PONIES!!!

HINT: A post like this should only be attempted by the unseasoned poster on Saturday evening postgame or Sunday morning when the 50-100 angry posts by ponyfans losing their [deleted] fit seemlessly within the fabric of the moment. Some of those guys-and you know who you are- make me look like Neville Chamberlain. In fact, we ought to nominate and vote on the Post-Game Breakdown of the Week. Maybe get a sponsor.

Wow, what a great idea Stallion. However, I suspect there will be some on this board dying for recognition who will proceed to have even great breakdowns just for recognition (which of course could be funny in and of itself). But I think the award should be the Grumpy Old Woman of the week award, and the Moderator will put a picture of picture of Kathy Bates in Misery (not the hot tub picture that's patented by Dooby) as their Avatar for the week.
