If you truly 'care about SMU', then you care about the kids we have on scholarship.

2nd - I know who you are actually and have a few months after you "joined" out here in late 2010. That's why I have zero problem with sharing my disdain for what you put out here. You represent yourself in a much different light than reality. You are a zero. Trust me, I know. We joked about you a few days ago during a team movie gathering. You play this insider, know it from the horses mouth but its the other end of the horse where you actually orginate this amazing insight.

Leave CC, Jalen and other players off this thing. It's not in their best interest, the schools, the coach or yours. I am confident you will.


LOL, I don't claim to be an insider anymore. I was once, but have very few connects to the current program, just report back what I hear through industry folk that have a vested interest in SMU. The fact that you are in a team movie gathering gives you better insight than me. Why don't you just put to bed any transfer rumors. since you have direct access to the kids...

Oh yeah, tons of people know who I am. I'm not exactly hiding.

What did you want again? Everyone knows what I just posted. Didn't see you put the transfer rumors to bed though.

I figure Orsini will be on some post selection show and will let it slip out that he's had conversations about Doherty's future at SMU. That lets everyone know things are happening. I figure on Monday the axe falls so that the vacancy is posted on Monday, then as teams get eliminated from the dance, he can swoop in and make a hire. Or if he does nothing by Monday, I suspect, we have Matt for another year.

There is NO FRIGGIN WAY that Doherty remains for another year. No way possible. If this happens, I'll cancel my 6 season tickets, and we can expect a mass exodus and transfer of many players on the existing roster. :x

Not that it matters, but I know I won't watch another game, that's for sure. What a nightmare that would be.

On Tuesday, Orsini will step up and fix his biggest mistake to date. When he pulls the trigger, I certainly hope he doesn't break out his, "Top 25 in everything we do" quote. It's embarassing everytime he says it.

No worries, I just offer what I hear through the grapevine. Sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad. Its a public message board on the internet, thought that's what these places were for.

SMUlifer wrote:# of posts does not equal intelligence or insight into the program. You are living proof.

DON'T COME OUT HERE AND TALK ABOUT KIDS TRANSFERRING TO OTHER SCHOOLS. You are entitled to your opinions but #1 - you haven't personally read Doh's contract and #2 - you can get a kid in trouble for tampering by saying he is thinking about going to Tech when your mission is to show how much you "know"

Im serious - leave the players out of this forum

calm down, Francis. He didn't say anything harsh or derogatory about any of the players.

Sadler was 101-89 and got fired from Nebraska. He made $900K plus incentives. Looks like the donors will have to pony up to get an experienced, proven head coach.

900 is on the low end of the bracket of what we will be paying

Speaking of coaches, I hope Rhonda is gearing up the women's team for the BE. If she is in the bottom 4 of the BE for the next 3 years then her job could be in jeopardy as well. Just sayin.
