Interesting take on the situation by the great Scott Van Pelt:

I live in Fort Worth, but I'm an SMU guy until the day I die. That said, this is a very sad story. I want to beat TCU in every sport, just like they want to beat us, but I want to beat them at their best, when they have everyone available and have no excuses.

This does not guarantee we beat them next year, of course -- we'll still be prohibitive underdogs. But if Brock's claim that only 20 guys would pass a test, there might be a lot more coming in this story.

I' so thankful that Patterson and TCU aren't going to help us anymore!

Surprise!

KillerFrogs think SMU fans have a field day at TCU's expense

Just saw on the news that a TCU recruit that chose a different school told Patterson that his reason for not going to TCU was that the drug use around the program worried him.

yeah, that's part of what sparked the initial round of drug tests by Fatterson to begin with.

Maybe June is the tipster to get back at fatterson after last year

Whoever that kid is, really impressed he told that to Patterson's face, took the heat and made a smart decision. I don't know if he doesn't like drugs or just realized that was a bad sign for the program but either way impressive. #Winning

A good barrister(court trained lawyer) could get those four players off with out a conviction if all the proof of guilt is that arrest warrant.

i'm not an attorney but i'm not sure how you reach that conclusion. will you please explain?

[SMUer]

And the lab tested drugs and likely taped conversations? Okay...

If the buys were not photographed or taped it is word verus word.

You could really tell he was pissed when Fatterson decided to stop helping us.

I would expect stallion to need more then 48 hours to get over his man crush on the TCU program. So we will just let him work through his stages. I think you can pretty much tell a book from it's cover, so this was very predictable. If we hit top 20 then you can expect some of this fun. It's the price you pay. No exceptions.
