Well, the colors are patriotic until JJ decides we look better in black.
The donkey's name is Kiki.

On a side note, anybody need a patent attorney?

Good, Bad...I'm the one with the gun.

Considering the size of SMU's alumni base and ticket-buying fan base, if someone who didn't graduate from SMU sees fit to adopt the Mustangs as his/her favorite team, we have no business holding them at arm's length ... not even an active, involved alum like yourself.
Speaking of which, did you renew your Mustang Club contribution this year?

Never noticed that apostrophe - I always thought it was Cowboys. Is it that way on the end zone designs at Cowboy's Stadium? :roll:

Mustang from mestengo or mesteño, ="without known master or owner"


Hence the geldings are not Mustangs, due to the "masters" that ride on those horses' backs.

Peruna’s Island.

Just sit right back and you’ll here a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip.
That started from an urban park
On an SMU ship.

Coach Jones was a mighty football man,
Peruna, brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
SMU’d be lost, SMU’d be lost.

The geldings started too get nervous,
Liberty and Justice.
Peruna questioned their manhood,
They could not whip it out; they could not whip it out.

The ship set ground on the shore of this charted urban isle,
With Orsini, June Jones, the third,
The billionaire, and his wife.
Peruna, and the geldings too,
Here on Peruna’s island.

So this is the tale of our castaways,
They’ll be here for a long, long time.
They’ll have to make the best of things,
It’s an uphill climb.

Orsini and June Jones, the third, will do their very best.
To make recruits comfortable in the SMU nest.
No phones, no cash. no motor cars, no recruiting luxury.
Just like USC now,
An admissions committee, An admissions committee.


So join us each fall my friend on Bishop Boulevard,
With the seven cast of characters,
here on Peruna’s island.

With Orsini, June Jones, the third,
The billionaire, and his wife.
Peruna, and the geldings too,
Here on Peruna’s island.

Plus no player enjoyed running out behind a pony that s*** on our sidelines every game. The players hated it-so he promised he'd get rid of it.


Since JJ was promising to 'get rid of that damn black pony,' Peruna was simply expressing how he feels about JJ the best way he knew how.
