Letter to Rick Hart

PS does not suffer fools lightly.

Ponyscott coming unusually harsh

It had to have been a drunk response, so I'll give him some slack. I met Ponyscott on the Boulevard and he seemed like a good guy.

[couch 'em]

I don't know, your constant lovefest of he who makes a mockery of our University wears thin on even the nicest eventually

[ponyboy]

I understand that. I'm loyal to a fault. It's got to be annoying. But I'm just wondering why he only presented the numbers against winning teams when we're on the road. How did we do against winning teams when we were at home? What's the whole picture? Until then, I'm calling it a lynching by a very forgetful and seemingly thankless fanbase.

'Loyal to a fault' was the same excuse tiki god gave at overhead projectorfest about ASU. Said a doctor diagnosed him with it,

[RGV Pony]

Anyone ever wonder what got Lil ol SMU exempted from those to whom that loyalty is devoted?

[couch 'em]

Whomever first applied "battered wife syndrome" to SMU fans was so correct. Loyal to a coach who is using you and not loyal to you.

[ponyboy]

Specifically how is he using us? I'm not asking for science -- just remind me of a few high level details.

[Stallion]

Ponyboy has this irritating debating habit of wondering why YOU didn't make HIS point better
Make your own damn point Ponyboy

It's laughable. Accusations that JJ is using SMU. He was offered a job and he took it. He money came with the job. I don't know if you guys have ever gone to your boss to say you are making too much money and could you have a pay cut please, but I doubt it. JJ is doing his job the way he thinks it should be done. His approach is good for the game of football in my opinion but I understand the criticism. We hired him. So why shouldn't we be held to the contract?

Stupid us.

[Mustangsabu]

And maybe history will show we were stupid to get in bed with JJ. But it didn't feel like it when we went to Hawaii in 2009.

[SMUer]

Your point is that we overpayed and JJ has no obligation to rise to the performance-level that he's payed...are you implying he did us a favor in Hawaii!?!

[Mustangsabu]

My point is that JJ took the job we offered him and does it the way he was always going to do it. We liked it when he got us to Hawaii. We now pretend he is worthless.

I say let JJ do his job, support the program.

Glory Days! How long can JJ live in the past. He was paid for those perceived accomplishments; he is now paid for what is to come. So far it has not been forthcoming---except for the probable train wreck ahead.
