The Reality

[SMU 86]

As June said in the TXA 21 interview that the TV contract by the BE will put us financially where we need to be.

JJ brought us to this level and now it is time to find someone to get us to the next.

you overstate that those people (COC) were mobilized by orsini. did he have a roll? Yes. Was it he who organized it all - no.

i think Hart will be great for us. those that want an energetic young recruiting oriented coach will not have to wait very long. It may be one more year of June, but that would be the max. I think it will be later this year (hope) - but may be one more. I would be shocked if a list is not being pulled together and there arent already informal chats underway.

If it wasn't Orisin then why did it take 20 years to organize?

[couch 'em]

I forgot another important one. the administration wants the football program to be a point of pride for alumni that connects them to SMU, brings them back to campus, and most importantly inspires them to open their wallets. Again, no one gets fired up by a 6-6 team.

Then why did we do nothing, under Turner, for 10+ years

That's probably true. But we won't know for sure until the end of this season. Why tear things down now?

Is recruiting going to get dramatically better between now and late Nov because if not there's nothing to tear down.

[ponyboy]

It could. There are several undecided, including at least one highly touted decommit.

So we're holding out for a couple of Hail Marys that this staff has shown a remarkable inability to land?

[ponyboy]

No, we're shutting up and supporting our team.

[sbsmith]

No, we're shutting up and supporting our team.

I never stopped the supporting the team but I don't support the direction of this program.

[ponyboy]

You PUBLICLY stopped supporting this team.

[Treadway21]

No that was Alumni11. : )

FWIIW, i think we should debate the coach but still support the team. Beat UTEP.

[StallionsModelT]

I'll say it. I hope we tank this entire season. I absolutely hate it for the kids b/c its not their fault their coach mentally and emotionally checked out after he woke up from his ASU wet dream. But for the longterm health of this program getting rid of June Jones is paramount. We lose the following kids as we enter our first year of Big East play:

Zach Line
Bryan Collins
Darius Johnson
Margus Hunt
Kevin Grenier
Ja'Gared Davis
Taylor Reed
Cameron Rogers
Ryan Smith


We are going to be in serious rebuilding mode thanks to the lei-wearing fraud's inability to recruit better than a Sun Belt program. If you think June looks unmotivated and pathetic now, wait until next year with a very young team. Send the guy back to the islands. A big part of him never left there anyway. Give me someone who looks and acts like he gives a damn and WANTS to be at SMU.

[Treadway21]

You have added to the list. Sad to root against your team.

[sbsmith]

You PUBLICLY stopped supporting this team.

That definitely wasn't me, I have been at every home game and will be at all the remaining home games and the road game at Rice. I've never stopped supporting this team publicly or privately.
