Lot's of DMN Love

[GiddyUp]

Winners town, you get coverage. After yrs and yrs of bitchingg about local media. They have something to write about. Our teams have all sucked until now

Cowlishaw has always said good things about SMU when we gave him the chance. When we went to our first bowl with JJ, he mentioned us on the 'Around the Horn' segment when he won.

I have said many times that the DMN will start to care about the Mustangs when the school and the alumni care - all a sports department wants is a product to sell, and you can't sell 30 years of complete irrelevance to the Dallas sports market. Well, now that the school got behind the basketball team, made a committment, and took some chances that have paid dividends faster than anyone could have imagined the DMN is going to give the Mustangs, in either football or basketball, the attention they deserve, for better or for worse. Here's hoping it's for better.

^ this.

Still seems a little passive aggressive . . . the headline ends in a question mark and says stuff like "surprising as it is sudden". I mean, I'll take it but why can't they just say "SMU is damn good this year, selling out Moody, ranked #18, etc". Period.

Very appropriate headline, and good article by Cowlishaw. Bill Nichols also has a good article on the game, Shawn and Nick on page two.

Well, I said that I'll take it and I appreciate your opinion (I was voicing mine). I just don't get the local hometown paper "suddenly" discovering we have a team. I get the whole "Dallas supports winners" line, but I'm advocating a certain set of values here that I know is a bit too idealistic. That's all.

And yet Cowlishaw still references Yale Blvd

Probably hasn't been over on that side since his drinking days.
