Re: Post Death Penalty Checklist
7 and 9 have both been accomplished many times. ESPN scrolls every score every weekend and there is SMU stuff for sale at many places in Dallas outside the park cities. Not sure either of those has anything to do with getting over the death penalty though.

I am afraid if we ever checked off number 8, and won, the DP would happen all over again.

Re: Post Death Penalty Checklist
We were ranked for a week after a 5-0 (6-0) start last year, or the year before. #21 I beleive.
Not sure if you were talking end of season or not...
