Here goes:
I think it is sad that a SI writer gives SMU's coaching hire an "A" and the discussion deteriorates quickly into a rehash of the same cr@p we have been discussing ad nauseum for a month.
I can deal with cynicism; I can deal with pessimism. Still, I don’t understand how SMU sports fans can simultaneously be both self-pitying and self-loathing. How about a modicum of optimism, people? I am not talking about breaking into song, but please get over yourselves.
In the span of two months, SMU has hired an AD and a basketball coach far better than most of us expected SMU to get. A renovated Moody and practice facility has been "planned" for almost ten years, and in the span of a month, those plans have gone form gathering dust to the point where I am about ready to a bet a twelve pack with anybody here that they break ground within twelve months.
I mean, cr@p, people. Quit [deleted] at eachother. It is kind of pathetic. It really is.
We have a winner: BEST POST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS SITE.

The three of you (jstang, hoop fan and McClown) need to get a room and get it over with. Better yet leave your annoying Tubbs arguement in one [deleted] thread and stop hijacking the rest of the topics. You three are worse than Stallion with his model posts, at least he only brings that up about once a month now.

I fully agree. I feel like we have someone who wants to get things done (in Orsini) rather than sit back in cruise control. SMU totally screwed up with Tubbs but positive things are ahead and I am looking forward to seeing what happens. The nice thing is we have different thinking and outside perspectives.

This is more of a result of the fact that we have nothing better to do but [deleted] and sunshine at this time of the year. Spring football is over. Basketball is over. Are there any other sports actually going at SMU right now that any cares about? The answer is no. At least we have a new AD and a BB coach. That is a quick hit and done until they actually do something that allows us to comment. Wake me up at the first big signing by Doh or Phil B.
