Still wondering where this idea came from?

Hey Statler, one of my close friends saw me posting on PonyFans at lunch and he said he knows you. Said you were a crazy band guy who likes to troll these forums. I laughed.

Some people like this kid complained, and the more JJ realized it the more bitter he got. Its simple, especially when you are trying to recruit, its probably pretty embarassing. You know what JJ take 5 years and actually go out to the campus and market your freaking team. Also dont freaking lose to Tulsa, Houston, AM, NAVY!!!

I never have believed this kid acted on his own. I think Jones and/or his staff coach were aware the letter was going out. Jones possibly even fomented the attitude among the players, IMHO.

This article is much more interesting after reading all the info out there that the UCF game was what soured June on SMU...
