Hey dodgefan, I'm convinced that some people here are just looking for reasons to hate SMU. Don't let it sway you. Although, I think it would fascinate you to hear some of our elder fans tell you what they've had to live through from the Hilltop fans. To say that our perception of SMU is misguided or some sort of illusion that we created would be inaccurate, to say the least. I'll agree, however, that sometimes it gets out of hand. It's been at least at least 6 months, but I do recall some great stories that were shared on the board....stories that go outside any CUSA conspiracy. What RV said is "AD speak"; of course he's not going to point fingers at any institution. It's his job to take care of the things he CAN control, which is better our facilities, improve fan support and communication, etc... I can't wait 'til we can look at SMU and see them as a fantastic regional rival, with the past behind us.
