You in particular were who we were talking about as you criticized posters arguing for necessary institutional change at every step. The only realism you supported was the status-quo of Jim Copeland's vision of trying to win the Ivy League Championship
Maniacs was a hoot. I remember this board being called the Sunshine board when it first launched, while the maniac board was the walk on the wild side. I don't believe you had to register on Maniacs either, so there were lots of visitors - or am I confusing it with another sports board?
BTW - Kudos to everyone involved with Ponyfans. This site has only gotten better over the last 12 years I have been here. I can't get on here much, but always enjoy it when I do!

The good ones, who actually support SMU, are still here, and always will be because we get better information about the Mustangs here than anywhere else. Take Stallion, for example. I definitely haven't agreed with everything he has written on here over the years, or the way he says some things, but it usually seems like he wants the Mustangs to succeed. We have different ideas about the way that can happen sometimes, but he genuinely appears to have SMU's best interest at heart.

Yeah, I think you're right about the registration. Mustangmaniacs was higher traffic at the time, because there wasn't much "sunshine" in SMU athletics.

this is a crock of crap

Less than 24 hours from an SMU game that will make our team bowl-eligible if we win it, and you're debating a site that went out of business years ago?
Pulling out of the ditch and back onto the road ...
My father registered here with this username back in 2000. After he passed on, I decided to keep it active. I didn't go to SMU but he did and my brothers and I grew up fierce Mustang fans.

I appreciate this site a great deal.
Great stuff Rayburn. Glad to hear of alumni with kids that still care. Sadly, many of my SMU friends have kids that have no interest.
My son's middle name is Walker. I've taken him to some SMU athletic games. He still remembers going to see the "Go Ponies" beat unc in soccer back in '05! He proudly wears Red and Blue.

That is awesome!
Thanks. Also tried Maco and Truman for Maco Stewart and Truman Spain. Those didn't work either. The only bad thing about Walker is people think it is for Walker Texas Ranger.
