Darn, you caught me before I could edit. I hate when that happens. If you want to talk mess on us, go with the bowl games: "Don't go after us for losing to a better team in the first championship game we've been in since Reagan was president. You need to go after us for a horrifically pathetic bowl game in which we couldn't even score 17 points on a terrible, slow, nonathletic, much less talented Army team...we...lost...to...ARMY. WE ONLY SCORED 14 POINTS ON ARMY...AT HOME. Much better line of attack."

Don't get your hopes up yet, UH fans, but Mack Rhoades has done great working building a relationship with UT.

If Houston leaves to join the Big 12 and we are stuck holding the back we are SCREWED. CUSA becomes the Sun Belt and we are knocked even further down the pecking order. Should this happen SMU should have serious conversations about the future of the program and if we really want to be associated with the kind of schools that will be left after the superconferences start aligning.
Norm said earlier that we will have 4 sixteen team conferences within 10 years. Everyone else will be dropped to Div. 1AA. Does SMU really want to be one of those teams? Is it worth it to us to even try?

Nick and Model T, you two are so entertaining. On one hand you've got Mr. Hothead Overreaction and on the other you've got Eeyore in human form. Lol.

OK. So I'm Eeyore for seeing NO future whatsoever for SMU if we aren't in the mix for realignment? I'm being serious. If it comes down to that then lets throw a sh*t ton of money into the basketball program and into academia and become the University of Chicago. I'd rather do that than be D1AA after the dust settles.

It's not just that post, my East Texas brother. There's just a pattern there, a consistency to your posts. I do think there is something to your concern in this case, though I'm not as worried.
And I'm cracking up about Nick. How long did it take for him to lay down a hothead overreaction? Like a slot machine that guy.

If we are left out of a super conference I say keep football but put very little emphasis on it. Maybe drop all together. Then put all your resources into basketball. You only need 5 good players to make a run.

I agree. After the dust settles if we are left out (and at this point you'd have to believe we will) we might consider dropping football. Pains me to say it but we got serious about football too little too late. I hope I'm wrong.

Ridiculous comments. You are actually suggesting dropping the football program? OVERREACTION
