Screw Dale Hansen of WFAA-TV!!!

[MrMustang1965]

Did anyone else hear Dale Hansen's snide remark about the Mustangs on Wednesday night's sportscast at 10 p.m.? He's already taking potshots at us and the season hasn't even started! That a**hole was talking about Phil Bennett and the game against Navy this weekend. Hansen thought it would be cute to say that this SMU team has a lot of talent on it but there will never be as much talent ever again on any SMU team as there was in the early 80s when SMU had - quote - "The best paid teams they ever had!"

Hey, Hansen. SCREW YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON! (THANK GOD IT WASN'T A MUSTANG!)

This is the kind of sh*t that the SMU A.D.'s office should go after! But no, those little pansies in the A.D.'s office and in the SMU administration don't want to go up against the deep-money pockets of Belo Broadcasting which contributes financially to SMU! I bet you anything you'll see WFAA ads in the Mustang programs this year...I say cut 'em off at the knees and start playing HARDBALL with 'em! But, no...SMU's administration will just go along with it and act like it's no big deal. What's next?

I completely agree that Dale Hansen is a piece of [deleted], don't get me wrong, but what do you want SMU to do about it. They don't have the WFAA advertising as a favor to Belo, they have it because they pay for it. Would you like thed AD to have money. Tons of the money in the AD comes from advertising. Why don't you get everyone to send a barage of emails to DH instead of asking the AD to cut itself off at the knees. Or maybe you'd like to donate the money in place of what WFAA spends on advertising.

The AD is busting its hump this year, and I think it shows. Back off!

Hansen has been a thorn in SMU's side for a long time. I hated him when I was at SMU in the mid 1980s. The only thing fans can do is get on the guy. Overload his emails. Call him constantly. Send FAXs by the dozens.

Regardless, the fact will remain that Dale Hansen is a loser.

His sole purpose in life is to suck up to the Cowboys. To hell with Dale. I'd love to see some big-money SMU alum buy managing interest in Belo and fire him on the air. Won't happen, but I can dream, right?

did anyone see the time that he was wasted when he interviewed troy aikman. hmm, i guess i would be that drunk too if i was as ugly as him. put him in a uniform and have him take a few hits from khalid beard. O cant find him, he's on the boulevard taking shots of 151.

To TheSkelf: No...I won't back off! I am sick and tired of the A.D.'s office and the so-called PR Dept. at SMU allowing a**holes like Dale Hansen to run roughshod over the Mustangs! It's because of repeated comments like his that the Mustangs don't get any respect...as well as poorly played games like last night's against Navy.

The A.D. needs to grow some gonads and march into the Belo offices and demand an apology from Hansen! And if he doesn't give it, then don't solicit $$$ from Belo or WFAA! There are other folks that can replace them!

It just sickens me every time I come to a game at Ford Stadium to see the words "The Dallas Morning News" over the top of the scoreboard, too! Same situation....

To TheSkelf: Do you think UT or A&M would tolerate that kind of crap from Hansen, WFAA or the DMN? NO! They'd deal with it the way it should be dealt with...man-to-man!

But I guess MONEY means more than PRIDE at SMU these days....that's sad.

But this is all probably a 'dead thread' now...after last night's game against Navy, the sportscasters in Dallas will diss SMU for a couple of days (especially on The Ticket!) and then you won't hear anything more about the football program for the remainder of the season except for a mention of who the Mustangs are playing that Saturday and the broadcast of the game.
