I'm right there with you, DSG - that story never should have been run.

Is there a faculty advisor for the DC? There was when I was in school. Even in an editorial piece, there is no place for the phrase "kicking TCU's a--." Not that SMU fans everywhere don't want that to happen, but it weakens and cheapens the story, the staff and the paper itself. "Beating TCU" or even "whipping TCU", etc., would have gotten across the same message without making the paper look like something a bunch of rebellious 11-year-olds put together on Daddy's new computer.

Same with the comments about the girls in the stands. Female students can dress however they want for a game, just as male students can. The DC is right that the players should be focusing on the game, not on the attire and availability of the female fans. But to admonish the female students who drove to FW to support the game, and to compare them to hookers, is WAY out of line.

This is not the first DC editorial that's been linked here, and based on what we've seen so far, this year's DC Ed Board lacks but the writing ability and the maturity of those in years past. Maybe before they rip the football team or the fans again, they'll tighten up their own ship a little.

Stan's Blue Note hasn't been around that long? Obviously you have never met R.B. and Dorthy-(if you don't know don't ask). Plus, if you have'nt lived through two Stan's Blue Note fires you probably are too young. Sawdust on the floor ring a bell? (too young). Stan's without air-conditioning? (too young). If you don't know the original location of Stan's Blue Note (too young).

Damn it! I only know about one fire, but that is an interesting story and you probably know it already. And admittedly, my earliest days at Stan's only go back to the early '80s and that location has not changed, only expanded into the neighboring space. But I do remember the Sunday night bingo games in the smaller version, where I once lost a Little King belch-off and hence a Mr. Potato Head to a girl, and the occasional twister game. And I'm a neighbor to a bunch of old-time regulars I'm sure your acquainted with Stallion. I think I even saw a picture of you once on a Stan's inspired website out there in the ether somewhere. And last but not least, my girl's a former Stan's bartender, so she fills me in on the occasional bit of trivia. If you hold that place in some esteem we may have just found our common ground. Kumbaya.

Well hell, I was born in 1964 so maybe that guy was right about the twinkle in my old man's eyes when he first set foot in Stan's. Who knew?

I only went to Stan's once. Spent most of my time at the Stables (Greenville and Yale?), a main stay in those days. Even worked there for a while (a violation of NCAA rules for scholarship athletes). Hopefully there will not be a retroactive death penalty for this admission.

Let's not forget about Jennie Bear's and its neighbor next door The Waterhole at the corner of Yale and Greenville (where I worked during college-also briefly worked at Stan's but I couldn't arrange my schedule because of my work in the SMU SIDs office which required my attendance at various SMU sporting events)

Is that where Milo Butterfingers is now? Did Milos relocate from somewhere else?

Probably not, but this unpunished violation could be creating a karma problem for us now...

GO SMU!!!

Mr.Mustang, you are correct in saying that the other writer was doing a good job. Mea Culpa

That editorial is a prime example of journalistic irresponsibility. How the advisor and editor could allow for something so tacky and blatantly immature to be posted is beyond me but then again, it is the Daily Campus.
I wonder what the odds are that any of those clowns on the editorial board have one of those "$2 hookers" as a girlfriend. Probably slim and none but I bet you all you want they'd scrounge up $2 in a heartbeat if they had the chance.

I agree. Sorry editorial. And who hasn't been distracted by some nice young fillies at a football game. I recall one time a girl sitting down close to the field got up during the game and walked up the aisle. She had on a tight sweater, mini-skirt and a set of DD's. Needless to say it looked like an old EF Hutton commercial with the entire stadium transfixed on this angel.

Ed Board appears to be focusing on ONE player, not the entire team. For all we know that player may not even be a starter. Frankly, I find this editorial amusing as well as hypocritical. Earlier this year, Ed Board was urging students to come out to the games (home) and support the team. Now Ed Board is chastising those students who made the effort to drive over to Ft. Worth to do exactly what they had been encouraged to do! Ed Board needs to take his rose-colored glasses off and look at the BIG PICTURE!

JT are still with that Stan's Blue Note waitress? Please tell me you are.
