Wow. I imagine this will stop being fun at some point, but not anytime soon.

First of all, frequent use of the “enter” key allows the grouping of sentences into what are commonly referred to as “paragraphs”. Using paragraphs to organize your thoughts help the reader better to comprehend your argument.

If I recall correctly, the discussion we (JT and I) had a few weeks back was how we could not find where you listed “at least five things” as you claimed. We found ONE post with ONE rule you identified where SMU had higher qualifications than the NCAA minimum requirements. The longer you put this off, the more likely it is that all of us will be led to the only logical conclusion that there are no other restrictions.

Regarding low qualifies, partial qualifiers and non-qualifiers, like JT, I recall that you specifically said that you did not advocate such a change. I also recall that you said that such a change was not necessary. I will also add that nonqualifiers would have to attend SMU initially on their own dime without a scholarship, which is impractical for a school with tuition in excess of $20,000 per year. I should also point out that many of our “natural and traditional rivals” as you like to call them do not recruit nonqualifiers either as such practices are prohibited in the Big XII and Mountain West. To be fair, Conference USA and the WAC do allow nonqualifiers.

Regarding junior college athletes, again, in the last six months a College of Education and Human Development has been created. We have no idea, as you admitted, what that is going to mean for the curriculum. We may end up with a general education degree, a sports management degree or a kinesiology degree. Again, the main issue there is the ability for junior college athletes to have more transferable hours. I do know that anyone that thinks such changes could happen overnight or think that Copeland has the ability to create “athlete-friendly” majors is delusional. And other than the transferable hour issue, I have little use for athlete friendly majors as there are plenty of “friendly” majors at SMU for anyone and I personally doubt too many of the inner city kids that go to A&M are that interested in Agriculture Sciences. Oh, and by the way, at least Bennett has the cajones to recruit jucos to the best of his ability, which is a hell of a lot better than anything Cavan ever did.

That is great that you measure success by bowl games and conference championships. That is my measuring stick, too. I just want to make sure that when SMU gets that invite to a bowl game or wins Conference USA, that you are going to be pleased and consider that a success on at least some level. Because right now, when that day comes, I am pretty sure you are still going to be [deleted] and moaning about how it’s the fault of a dead man that we aren’t in the Big XII. I also believe in being encouraged by progress. My prediction for last season was three wins (you can look it up, but I know you won’t). Considering we had zero wins last year, I find three wins encouraging. Also, since my prediction was spot on, I can only conclude that you find me some kind of supergenius, too. You need to figure out who the sunshiners on this board are and stop assuming everybody on this board but you is predicting undefeated seasons.

I could go on and on, but my youngest son is waking up and I have to check his diaper. I’ll come back here tomorrow and see if there is any more crap from you on here, too.

Did anyone actually read all that? I'm sorry, but I can read the message on here and tell you whether or not Stallion wrote it. He doesn't even have to sign his name any longer. If its negative, fatalistic, and critical..it's from our boy!

(You mean you was serioous about dat?)

Entirely too much information...the image is not pleasant.
