Don't be too [deleted] us. Clemson has been recruiting high level athletes for many more years than SMU. We will catch them soon enough.ojaipony wrote:I have a theory about SMU athletics. I've been following for about 25 years (I know, not much to cheer about). However, the one common thread through all of it is how "soft" our athletes are (we saw that about 4-5 times in just this last half where a 6'11" guy not only got his shot blocked, but CAUGHT by a 6'6" guy). Football, basketball, all the same. We rarely have any truly nasty guys who will dunk on you and put your face in their nuts. Or, in football, a guy who will just knock the EFF out of you and stand over you with pure joy in their eyes (I think the closest player to ever get to that level was T Reed, who actually got neutered a bit for being so). So, here's my theory: SMU's country club like setting just makes guys soft. The hot chicks, the beautiful campus, the money. It just makes guys less hungry and thus more soft. And therein lies the problem.
Ok, I've entertained myself now for most of the half. Thank you for the therapeutic outlet.
Possibly, although if you think like is at all 'tough' at a football factory like Florida State for example, you would be way wrong. Those schools have the plushest setup ever for their athletes. Live in an all-athlete dorm, stumble downstairs for your personally made breakfast, hit up the athlete 'lounge' or lockerroom in between classes (classes..yeah right) to play some Madden, etcojaipony wrote:I have a theory about SMU athletics.

Not sure what you were doing to entertain yourself because there wasn't a whole lot about that half that was entertaining. Probably some things are better left unknown...ojaipony wrote:Ok, I've entertained myself now for most of the half.
