I'm hoping someone here who knows that joke of an AD Rick to do something like this cause clearly the kids never seem 100% motivated so maybe if they saw what more SMU could be they go ahead and try.. That's my idealism for the week cause I know there's no point in even dreaming to stay within the betting line..

In the Good Old Days, SMU used to dominate the Southwest Conference in Swimming & Diving with many Top Five Finishes in the NCAA Championships, 23 consecutive SWC Championships from 1957-79, undefeated Dual Meet Seasons, more than a hundred All-Americans, a score of Olympians and a very competitive, top flight Women's Program. Sigh!

In the Good Old Days the school was run by those with an SMU connection that cared about winning

Good point.
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!! For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue .

Even then we never really beat Texas or A&M with much regularity did we?

From 1950 to 1985, SMU was 17 - 17 - 2 against A$M.

How many of SMU's accomplishments were done the honest way though?

Has really any teams success been done the honest way? Look at okie st, a pretty unheard of team yet caught with the same crap we got... Yet nothing will happen to them cause they are a big state school. Also if okie st has done it, pretty much everyone else has.
