We really need to just quit talking about them.

God the SMU AD sounds like such a total hack in defense of what happened after the game.

Trying to stand up for his team is one thing, but you kind of ignore the elephant in the room when your PR/social media team is constantly promoting this marketing tool of being "Dallas' Team" with cute tweets and constantly ribbing all the other DFW programs in the process.

Dykes and SMU AD like to skirt controversy by either not commenting on it or just brushing off these very obvious provocative PR stunts they try and pull by downplaying exactly what they're trying to do.

I don't mind the competitive ribbing, but Hart's statements come off so disingenuous. Like, of course Patterson is mad about the whole thing and has a right to be when it comes to his assistant getting hurt.

First off, they lost a close rivalry game so post-game emotions are already high and one of his staff gets hurt in the process of SMU trying to ripoff what Mayfield did a few years back. And it's not like SMU wouldn't plaster that all over their social media if it did happen, whether it was planned or not.

Remember when everyone called Terrell Owens classless for a similar act and then bought his jersey when he became a Cowboy?

right? not happy someone got hurt, obviously...but it's kinda a good bit. 

how many avatars and sig lines here would have the UNT battle flag shish-kabobbing Peruna at Ford if we'd done that?

It's not like its below anybody else who has the opportunity to do that wouldn't tout that around for their team.

I just take issue with Hart's statement over what Patterson said as if his school is above all the rabble-rousing that his PR team has drummed up.

I'd be less annoyed by it if SMU just accepted the role as the villain and left all of their pearl clutching at the door when others fire back at you about it
