Has this become a problem? Or is this being posted to stop a problem before it occurs? Does anybody know?

Wait until they are Mustangs and then you can talk all the football you want.
But for now... Do not even say HELLO.
Be smart Mustang Militia.

But you can make general positive statements about SMU and their athletic prowess on Coaches FB pages that maybe can be seen by prospective recruits.
