Over and over again, at the end of the season - we heard the following refrain from many many media outlets - that our 5-6 record was the most wins since 1997. But in reality we went 5-7 in '98.
So my question is, again, with all these media outlets spewing the same "largest win total" stuff - was this an internal error at the athletic department?
I think the quote could have been that season SMU had "the best winning percentage since 1997." But not, however, the most wins.
Just thought I would bring this up for debate.

We can not have an "inning" percentage since we dropped baseball years ago.

What games DID we pay since the death penalty?? We should get our money back, that's for sure....
sorry, typing too fast before a final...didn't play those games, although I think the reason the guy was ineligible was because one of the assistant coaches paid somebody else to take his ACT or SAT or something
