Meyer actually had some fairly decent talent holding over from the Dave Smith era. Still, we lost to the likes of Memphis State and simply could not compete with the top half of the SWC until his fifth year. Meyer started winning when he was able to get some depth out of his recruiting. Being in a BCS conference puts us in a position to get that depth.

And BTW, we "stole" Dave Smith, Ron Meyer, Bobby Collins, and June Jones from programs that they built into successes. Those of you who worry about loyalty are following the wrong sport. It is a business and the schools have no more loyalty to the coaches than the other way around.[/quote]


Well said Topper

IMO disgruntled new posters are a good thing because they represent the sports-interested student and casual Dallas fan that we've been fighting to attract: they've followed bigger, better programs growing up but have taken an interest in SMU and want to be part of its growth. They have high standards for SMU...good.

Hey, just a misguided attempt at humor perhaps. No personal slight intended. My point was that out of nowhere came that negative and unproductive comment. JJ took Hawaii to 12-0, if that is mediocre I would like some more.

I am not friends with that dude and I meant he has 2 accounts not you

To act unexpected about JJ trying to move to the next bigger and better job is naive, that was my whole agruement with the JJ supporters. We got left holding the bag this year but 2013 is a new conference and hopefully a new year. All of those posters that only care about the length of tenure on this board; you will lose fans with that attitude. And no, I don't have two accounts on ponyfans

I suspect that JJ might have been chastened by the backlash from the ASU rank and file. Perhaps he may realize that he has a good opportunity here and he will try to make the best of it, though, I agree, he will have a hard time convincing some of his intent to do so after ASU.

He got caught and to be honest I don't blame the guy for looking at a bigger program but it will take a BCS game before I give him my respect.
