SMU turning TCU game into Super Bowl on steroids

[RGV Pony]

Blackie Sherrod wasn't exactly a friend of SMU in the 60s-80s either except for an occasional mention in his scattershooting column. The only columnist who has ever truly given SMU the time of day is a guy most-including me don't really like Shock Jock Skip Bayless-the guy seemed intriqued with the uniqueness and contradictions of a great nationally competitive football program at a small wealthy private school like $MU that was taking it to the Big Boys of College Football. Can't stand listening to him about the Cowboys or the NFL but at least he didn't ignore us

Bayless was hired away from the DMN by the Herald in 78 or 79, about the time SMU's rise started

I think his wife is Galloway's Little Ball of Hate from the Startlegram, Jennifer Floyd Engel. Total toads.

Mac is a graduate of Kansas. LBOH is an alum of Mizzou. Both favor the Big 12-2.

He's also a graduate of TCU and works there. It has shown this week in his myriad of posts degrading SMU. DMN probably loves it because it's growing traffic. I think he's a purple [deleted].

Engel is scared they've awakened a sleeping giant and that we'll ruin their dream season.

Skip is a Vandy guy, if I'm not mistaken...lots of similarities between SMU and Vandy back in the day.

Mac Engel is an epic [deleted] and has belittled TCU all season with his stupid blog posts. Don't take one anti-SMU post to mean anything. He's been awful for us all year.

Mac and his also uninformed wife live a block from the TCU campus and fly their stupid Missouri and Kansas flags from their front porch during football season. They need to go back to the midwest that they love so much.

I must note, the froggies that have posted on the board this latter half of the week have been pleasant to interact with

The only thing positive about this then is the fact that he is an a-hole to everybody. And he even has ties to TCU, so the fact that he would dog you guys so much is ludicrous.

All we can imagine is that he doesn't want to be considered a "homer" in the jouranlistic circles. So, he writes in a fashion that ensures no one will consider him pro-TCU. Actually, LBOH has written a few nice things about us over the past year.

I am sure in the Engel family, who wears the pants is still up for debate.

You know we could come up with a particularly loathsome honor. Allow offending sports writers the "honor" of riding one of the geldings. Sort of like letting Dukakis ride in a tank.
