You know where I do some looking around and take some "Unofficial Visits." I tried to explain it away with some lines about conversations I've had in the past, but she wasn't buying it. She threatened to do more than pull my "Schollie." Just checked, I'm still good. #Beware of Lorena. Mama ain't happy, nobody happy.

So I don't completely defame myself, I am kidding. Merry Christmas to the SMU family!

You aren't married to the women. So if you have found something you dislike in her and would like to look around so be it, you are single. Worst thing you can do is go ahead and marry someone that you are unsure about. Then you could end up getting a divorce (transfer). And a divorce is usually expensive.

You bet Rebel. When you get engaged, which would be the equivalent of committing, see what happens if you continue to see other women before the wedding, which would be signing day.

Yes, you don't get married to that women and it saves you money and other penalties. But the point is if you are engaged and you don't like something or find out something you don't like after you are engaged you need to get out then not go ahead and get married when it is not the person you really want. That is advice for man or a women.

No. The comparison is to commitment. You should not commit if you are not sure. Some do. In your example it would apply if the coach left and was replaced with one who used different strategy. Then you break off the commitment. But don't commit and then keep searching.

You commit and happen to run across something better before you marry then leave. It will be better for the other person as well. It wight hurt at first but it will better in the long run. If you marry someone that you are not in love with you can end up falling in love with someone you are not married to.

Listen, if you commit you shouldn't be looking for something better. Usually you don't find something you aren't looking for.
Men who think that way sound incredibly prickish and entitled. Focus on whatever you committed to, not the 22year olds on thechive. Or in football terms, don't worry about Alabama when you could help SMU. Alabama doesn't even know your name.

Wow. I hope you are not married or engaged. If not, when you do get engaged be sure and tell that true love that if something better comes along before you marry that you are out of there. Perhaps you need to revisit the word "commitment", and "love".

Yikes

Right, some people commit but they are not in love. Happens all the time that is one reason why divorce is so high now. Also if you get engaged and find something out wrong with the person you that is a deal breaker then it is best for you to get out before you marry them. Now regarding players some player commit when scholarships get low on a team. Some coaches tell them that they better commit or their spot will be gone. So they commit and of UT offers later they might change commitments. Remember, I beleive the NCAA states that verbal commitments are NON BINDING, however when you sign it is.

Ok, I understand. I'm in the penalty box. I should have gone with my original thought/question: does this mean I have "SMU Street Cred" ? I tried to get fancy, and you can see the results. Did your friend mean Transfer In or Transfer Out? I understand either way. We're just friends anyway.

Clemson might have just a liiiiiiittle more leverage than SMU.

They didn't always have that leverage. It had to start somewhere.
