ESPN controls the Big 12.
ESPN pushed SMU big time via the Pony Excess promotion, being season finale, etc.
Is this the groundwork for having a positive spin on SMU to Big12?
Turner/Orsini statement, ESPN push/A&M letter all happen same time.
Tech owes Craig James
Baylor hates TCU
We have T Boone Pickens support (OSU)
We give Big12 more DFW games to counter SEC presence and recruiting. Remember Jerry Jones is an SEC man.
My god this may be happening.
Could Couch'em be right
If those damn horses deliver Boone Pickens and OSU via Madeleine Pickens, then I'll change my tune on them a little. But Peruna will still be my mascot.

RT @DanBeebe: Is SMU's wikipedia page loading slow for anyone else? Someone I know needs to do some research.

The DanBeebe mentioned is a fake account. Guy really is not that funny (like Me)

Statement from commish Beebe on A&M's letter today:
"However, if it is decided otherwise, the conference is poised to move aggressively with options.”

Certainly exciting. Adds to the football fever. I don't believe in coincidences, but I do in Good or bad publicitiy. SMU is all over. Feels owed. Feels right.

Orsini said the school did a study of the TV ratings in the Dallas-Fort Worth market the past two football seasons and discovered the average ratings for Big 12 and SEC games were at best a draw, despite the SEC having no team in Texas, much less the Metroplex. That's why he believes SMU could help put more eyes on the Big 12 in this area.
That's a major point!!! Great Show SO!!!
With a little sarcasm, perhaps A$M & TU aren't so big in the Metroplex afterall?

It's great to see we are being proactive, but it's only postering. Big 12 will pursue ND and BYU. No Texas teams will be added.
