I can't believe anyone watches that stupid school's network.

Oh ... the state school is NOT better than my school, no matter what its arrogant fans may claim.

Not sure how many gold medals SMU has won, but found this Michael Carter quote amazing:

Carter is best known in track and field for setting the American national high school record of 81 feet 3½ inches in the 12 pound shot put, adding more than nine feet to the previous record. He set this mark at the 1979 Golden West Invitational track and field meet while competing for Jefferson High School of Dallas, Texas. No high school athlete has come within four feet of this record since.

I think ucla and maybe USC have them beat. SMU has Carter, Ricardo Prado, and Steve Lundquist all medaling @the '84 games.

Go Ponies!!

Only one hit so far. They live in Austin so I guess it rubs off.

USC laughs at UT's Olympic claims.

"The latest gold medal is USC’s second of the games and sixth overall medal. USC now has 268 Olympic medals, including 125 gold, 80 silver and 63 bronze." http://news.usc.edu/#!/article/38654/so ... ld-record/

"Former Trojan All-American Clement Lefert won a gold medal as part of France’s 400-meter freestyle relay during the second day of swimming at the 2012 London Olympics on July 29, extending USC’s streak of winning at least one gold medal at every Summer Olympic Games since 1912." http://news.usc.edu/#!/article/38412/us ... continues/
