C'mon I can understand the frustrations given our expectations and future ones as well, but its pretty hard to argue that he didnt bring up bowl bound 3 times... If you have to here is the chart:
2008- No bowl, JJ 2009- Hawaii bowl, JJ 2010- AFB, JJ 2011- BBVA, JJ
Everything prior 2008 not even close.
Really? By "everything" you must mean "since 1989" as we've yet to play a bowl matching the prestige and meaning of all the bowls SMU went to pre-death penalty.
June Jones has been great in ushering in institutional change and infrastructure change. In all other areas he has been marginal at best and continues to get out coached quite often. He has difficulty motivating team, implementing a game plan that fits the talent on our team, placing an emphasis on recruiting and creating more support among the alumni. The way to build more support among the alumni is by producing an exciting product, which comes with having a motivated team and a team that creates an interesting and exciting on field product. After year two, with the exception of the TCU games, JJ has failed in these areas and showed very little motivation to address these areas.

I don't twist ANYTHING. There was no article. It's a chart with DMN comments after each match-up. I quoted it word-for-word. I don't appreciate being called a liar, punk.
I really don't care what you appreciate. And yes, you do twist what you can on June.

Doesn't require twisting. What Jones says/thinks is effed-up all by itself.

Not true at all. In 2006 Bennett led the team to a 6-6 record (which I believe would've got us in a bowl today). And three of those six losses were by 5 points or less, all games on the road (Tulane, UTEP and Rice).
Also, Mike Cavan led the team to a 6-5 record in 1997, 5-3 in the WAC. That would be a bowl team in today's setup too.

Yeah but the fact we lost to those teams was kind of a bummer. No doubt there were some okayyears, but nevertheless, we had 8-5 (09), 7-7(should of been 8-7 but conf champ), 7-5 (playing AQ team and beat TCU).
