There's nothing treasonous about pointing out errors and hoping for improvements.

He is a smu friend who happens to also like tcu

Oh, my mistake. It's ok to throw your school under the bus if it's a friend.

so, by your rational, are you throwing America under the bus if you say we spend too much money and we'rein debt $17 trillion? Of course not, right? RIGHT? The only way things change is whenyou point out flaws.

Don't you old f*cks always complain that no one who currently goes to SMU care about our football team? How the hell do you expect the students to come and watch and get excited about the football team if youre doing a joke of a apring game at 9 n the morning at a practice field? There's nothing going on sports wse at SMU right now, its a huge missed opportunity. If Turner didn't hate the greeks so much, you could get a bunch of the frats to come out and make it fun, like, oh I don't know, any big time university. Create a buzz going into summer.

He's making a perfectly good point.

I agree it is perfectly ok to criticize the execution of the event and it is not throwing SMU under the bus.

I question your comment that if only turner did not hate the Greeks so much you could get a bunch of fraternities to come out. We can't get a bunch of people in fraternities to come to regular football or basketball games, so I do not see how we could get them to a spring game.

"For twenty years SMU has never done anything right" is not an argument or a valid point. A valid point is this: It *seems* as if SMU is not approaching this spring game thing appropriately.

I never complained about the students' lack of interest. Ever. You need to show more respect, son.

Sounds like it's a "family friendly" exercise, which I have no problem with.

They should just add another day for "Spring Game"( which I know June doesn't like) that includes frats, beer, cookouts, game in Ford Stadium, etc...

These, combined with Pro Day, and spring football could be downright festive...

Wonder if Deion will be there.

Hmmm...just saw "pictures with Peruna and Cheerleaders"...hmmm...

Please - dont take everything literal. Geez. We all get frustrated over these simple little things that happen over and over at our school. Its not that difficult.

Hmmmm... How can we make all the children who get dragged along resent their parents and SMU football... Oh I know, start the thing at 9AM.

I don't know, 20 years of results...

Pretty cool for the kids to get autographs from the NFL guys.

Looks like it's from 9-12pm

I would love to have a game worn SMU helmet signed by the coaches. Baylor is selling 30 authentic game worn helmets from the 2012 season for $500 a piece. [Probably because they're changing helmets in 2013] Anyway, I contacted SMU's equipment manager to see if I could buy an authentic game worn SMU helmet signed by Jones. I didn't name a price but I would have paid more than $500 for it. Got a quick rely that SMU does not sell its helmets. So I bought a Baylor helmet and I have absolutely NO ties to Baylor. None. If I could ever land my hands on an SMU game worn helmet, it seems the fair would provide an excellent opportunity to get it signed. Alas.

Put down the bottle. Was hiring June Jones and reversing a decades long trend of utter ineptitude not right? Were four bowl games in a row right? How about building Ford Stadium and Crum, renovating Moody, hiring Larry Brown? How do you like the Boulevard? The list goes on and on, and to suggest otherwise is stupid.
