Any sense of Orsini's personal feelings about SMU?
My gut tells me Orsini's in this for the long haul.
It's kind of like that Mad Men episode where the agency drops its small airline client for a shot to go after American Airlines' business (right after one of their planes crash).
When Don goes to tell the Mohawk Airlines exec they're dropping him, the guy reminds Draper that he told him the agency didn't need a big airline because they were going to make Mohawk a big airline. That's Orsini's attitude. He's going to make SMU big (already has in many ways).
June is the agency's sales guy who pushes for the chance to pitch to American Airlines and doesn't get the deal done.
Front Page Center Top of Sports Page is a big story about June Jones trying to get out of Contract
About Page 3-is the Big East story which is really a huge move up for SMU
Now I don't blame the DMN because it was in fact the biggest story even on ponyfans but it sucks because the casual fan might never of even seen the BE story. The DMN has covered this story though extensively for several days and in several sections of the paper and on its blog. Not really a shot at DMN but June Jones basically took a big dump in the middle of our big party. Not cool
