I too feel Johnny did a great job last year, but we now have losses to all the locals(SMU & TCU) and didn't look great in either. We lost to TN Tech who may be good at home but isn't exactly an NCAA power. CU was drubbed earlier by Rice, and from past results we would seem to have no shot against BU or Auburn. At least we should get fat against TAMC 'cause if we don't real trouble lies ahead. I know we lack height but its the intensity in rebounding that we really have not shown. Our shooting % is bad and way too often we get just one 3 point opportunity before the opponents get the rebound. Maybe AA can give us muscle under the basket that we have lacked so far. It is beginning to look like a LONG season.

Why can we not get desire and determination when we play a metroplex team? A very disappointing loss that will sour many borderline fans on the rest of the year---never have I seen so many stand flat- footed around the basket, we bordered on pitiful.

If the paper publishes good things about a program because of its accomplishments and large following, DMN has sure gotten outside the box in its coverage of SMU. A two page spread chronicling the coach's game day after losing miserably to arguably the worst team in D-1 shows that there are journalists who write about the hometown boys no matter what.

Anything that makes it harder for commuters and encourages students to live in Denton or close surrounding area is much appreciated. Commuters are much like parasites in that they take while they are students, usually don't participate in campus organizations while there, contribute to a long standing tradition of apathy because they remain unaware of their school's traditions and activities, and generally make sorry alumni never giving time or money back to their alma mater that has provided them with the means to earning a livelihood.
