Time for a big change -- NOW!!!!

[its-go-time]

Tired of the losing ... tired of SMU talking about doing the right things ... tired of no bowl games ... tired of no ncaa tournaments ... tired of hearing about ford stadium (hasn't made us better) ... tired of hearing about soccer (we couldn't even handle hosting a championship event) ... tired of marketing to the 3-mile radius around campus -- and nowhere else ... tired of RGT talking about being No. 2 and "it's not like we're going to be competing for the national title" in SI ... think that would fly if he was asked to compare the b-school or law school to harvard ... not like we're competing with harvard? he'd have been shown the door ... tired of the reactive thinking ... tired of changing conferences ... tired of watching TCU beat the daylights out of us in the games that matter (fb and bb) ... tired of mike dement's excuses (at least he's gone) ... tired of watching tom rossley coach the packers and brett favre -- not smu -- to greatness ... fired of of anti-athletics faculty (don't like it, haul [deleted]) ... tired of not seeing banners in the rotunda leading up to home games ... tired of the stadium and heritage hall not being done ... tired of honoring scholarships to student-athletes who don't earn them, quit the team and them continue to steal an education and spread negativity ... tired of the copeland/turner management -- or lack of management -- plan ... how did smu get great in the golden years? great thinkers and innovators and people people ... doc hayes, matty bell, ray morrison, les jordan (even schellas hyndman and ron meyer) ... now, it's just get by ... try to make budget ... pad your resume and leave for some job in the sec ... tired of not having a men's track team that finished 4th in the country ... still tired of watching tcu kick our asses ... tired of watching tcu on national tv, in bowl games ... tired of the damned frog horn ... tired of losing ... tired of the attitude. blow it up, please ... top to bottom ...

Sounds like somebody needs a nap.

Shazamm. I just changed all those things. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Most of us are tired of a lot of things. So what. Blow up what? Fire whom? Tubbs, Bennett, Copeland, Hyndemann, Cossaboom, Loar? Fire Gerald Turner, the Board of Trustees, the faculty senate? And how much have you given to the Heritage Hall project? How many season tickets did you buy this year? How many times have you gone to home games? Have you offered to deliver fliers outside of a three mile radius? How much have you given to the University? I guess if you have a spare $40-50 Million to dangle under the nose of Turner and the Trustees, they'd probably give you the blasting caps.

Just about all of the above, actually. Have been to EVERY home football game since 1999. Have not missed one and have never even left early!

No problem with some the coaches who produce ... heck, no problem with Phil and Jimmy, either.

Problem is with the plan, the leadership, the commitment, the reactive atmosphere. The "winning will cure everything" mindset ... Going on 20 years now ... thanks Ken Pye ... thanks Doug Single ... and on and on and on since then ... ask Dement, Cavan, etc. about that mindset and how it equals failure.

With great soccer, competitive women's baskets and volleyball, those teams should have a community impact, too. They don't.

Division I-A college athletics is an ALL-TIME thing, not a some-of-the-time thing. At SMU, it takes a SPECIAL commitment because of the actual human resources involved.

No need to fire Turner. He raised $500M+, so he's insulated. No chance at running him out and no need to. But, Turner should take his hands completely off athletics and find him a young, midnight oil burning AD - who can make it work independent of his psuedo-sincere overtones of support. RGT, you're not fooling anyone any more.

tired of watching TCU beat the daylights out of us in the games that matter (fb and bb) ...

Not to split hairs here, but I'm pretty sure we beat TCU the last time we played them in basketball.

Can't get enough of it yet, eh froggie? Enjoy it while you can. Your down turn will come...it's the way of life.

I'm tired of taxes. I’m tired of the government regulating toilets where they are nothing more than indoor open septic tanks. I am tired of my kids always wanting money. I am tired of having to take kids to a bazillion events and missing my beloved Mustangs (win or lose). I am tired of hot summers and mild winters. I am tired of partisan politics and pitiful forgers. I am tired of quite a few things but I can't do a whole lot about them. And I can't do a thing about the mess Pye left and I can't correct the crap we placed on Gregg, Rossley and Caven. But I can support the program; offer my efforts and talents and money. I can brag to my friends about a degree form a respected and real university. And I can encourage kids to at least consider SMU. There are things I can do and things I can’t affect. I choice to take action on those things I can affect.

Fire Gerald Turner, and the Board of Trustees, If you want SMU Athletics to remain in DIV 1A!!!
