Of course- in the typical style of tulsa-ites. BTW- did you enjoy the bowl game- obviously the one where the Mustangs won, not the other one.

GO PONIES!!!

Haha. Let's keep this about SMU

We should enjoy this folks. It's good for our athletics program and I believe it also increases the recognition and reach of our great University!

well, since that's when we play in conference games, that works out fine.

SD doesn't change. would be nice to get out of August/Sept heat, but 65 and sunny is good anytime.
