Mustang is not a breed...by definition it is a feral (wild) horse. Once a mustang is broken, saddled and has a rider on it's back it is just a horse...period. I would have no problem with a mustang as one of our mascots if it didn't have a damn cowboy sitting on it's back. We aren't cowboys...we are mustangs. Now Peruna isn't a mustang either, but he has been our mascot for over 70 years including our glory years of Doak Walker and later the Pony Express and is a tradition that should be maintained. The relationship of a horse's ability to herding cattle is not germane to our football team. Our team got the name mustangs when SMU President Hyer's secretary looked out her office window at our team practicing and commented that they looked like a bunch of wild mustangs running around out there. At this point in time, Peruna is a lot wilder than those two horses standing in the corner of the stadium.

If they insist on having those two horses at our games in the future, I recommend that they only have a rider on one of them and the other be un-saddled and with a red and blue blanket thrown over it's back with SMU MUSTANGS embroidered on the blanket.

in other news, ESPN's feature on the chick as "cheerleader of the week" is not a cheerleader. She's on the pom squad. And her uniform has a horseshoe on it.

say, yall gonna watch the bowl game later today?

Will definitely watch the bowl game tonight and will be cheering when Peruna leads the team onto the field.

Mustangs are not shod.

Yes, watching the game in lieu of A Christmas Story, so it must be important.

Well, I'm sure TBS will make an exception for you and run it for 24 hours straight.

It's a christmas miracle!

as Bill Fleming* used to say- Cowboy Hat wearing, lasso throwing Cowboys standing on top broken, tame trick Geldings is part of the Color and Pageantry of College Football.

*since smupony94 is not a man he probably won't get this joke

Stallion is letting his sense of humor out--it IS a christmas miracle. God bless us, every one.
