GO PONIES!!!



Well since the Sony Open in Hawaii is over tomorrow maybe he will be back Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Take a deep breath, everyone. There are a lot of head coaches who don't do much recruiting except closing a few deals here and there, and if a hotshot kid needs is one conversation with the head coach away from committing, cell phones work in Hawaii, too. Whether June is watching golf in Hawaii or not likely doesn't matter. If he needs to talk to a kid, he can.

Him saying "SMU University" is a myth. Go back and look at it on ESPN3. He clearly says "SMU in Dallas, Texas."


Actually he did say SMU University on one of the interviews. I heard it myself and kind of thought it was just a stumble of words. Don't think it was intentional just a stumble IMO.[/quote]

Well, my mistake then. Must have been cut from the ESPN3 replay.

Wow, I guess you don't believe in hitting it hard or home visits. Good try at spinning so I'll be waiting on your next spin post saying you are not spinning. Also, name a lot of SUCCESSFUL coaches that don't do much recruiting that are BCS coaches or that have lost as many recruits as we have? I guess I have stopped drinking the Koolaid.

I don't think June does home visits.

The SMU University gaffe was during the BBVA Compass bowl trophy presentation. Not a big deal to me, but I did hear it in person. More of a humorous gaffe than anything to be upset about!

Apparently not. At least not very much.

How are we certain that someone didn't hack into that website and post that because they have a vendetta against June/SMU?

Washington State has all our former recruits visiting this weekend, our coach is in Hawaii. Who is doing it better?

Better make sure those California recruits actually qualify. Then we'll have something to talk about.

We're better off without those kids. Too much baggage.

They might not qualify but thats not really the point. Our coaches are analyzing NFL games and hanging out on the 18th green while other schools are having giant recruiting weekends.

Glad JJ is on a golf course, while the Pirate is receiving an oral commit from Gabriel Marks.

I have to agree with you on that Goldenstang.
