They were bound to get coverage anyways.  People naturally are curious about the only program to ever received that punishment from the NCAA.

If they were struggling, a writer would have emerged and wrote something like, "40 years removed from the worst NCAA judgment in history, Mustangs are still struggling to find their place in CFB."

SMU is trying to move up in a way no school has in recent times. It is an interesting story. Remember that SMU, the school, and the program are not the group of mainly a-holes that troll on the board. If they make it work, good for them.

Nope can’t go there at all.  They don’t really have fans they have trolls and alumni.  No problem with alumni.  But there is no such thing as “organically grown”  SMU fan born after the death penalty.   They aren’t Dallas’ team they are Highland Park’s team.  Many of them wouldn’t urinate on 60% Dallas to put it out if were on fire.  And a healthy percentage of them are T-Shirt fans Texas A&M, Longhorns, and Sooners fans most Saturdays if SMU isn’t going on an impressive win streak.  I want them functional and in our conference only to kick their a**es every year.  Otherwise they could visit the death penalty on their program again.  Their  historical refusal to play us before the “Safeway Parking Lot” quote is/was typical of the worst non-competitive elitism.  I liken them to a young boxer too arrogant to earn his shot at the title by fighting other contenders and demanding a championship fight after just 10-12 bouts.

Geeze. So much latent anger. Did an SMU grad's private equity firm buy your employer and lay you off?

Nope but thank you for illustrating the urinating on 60% of Dallas while having “Dallas” on the uniform mindset. 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

Gotdamn I love you guys and your hate for our perceived next conquest (which I agree with).  That said, can we just be real and just start winning som f’n games before we start a zillion threads whining about the ponies?  We need to find some flex and right now we have a lot of flaccid when it comes to those guys so let’s just worry about getting that part right before we worry about the kind of shape their program is in.  Wanna beat ‘em like hell but we have housekeeping to do.

I absolutely agree, but "giving the at-a-boy" for possibly leaving us behind is a bridge too far for ANY Mean Green fan and I had to comment on that.   I wish we were more demanding.  I wish more of us were asking questions like "why not go after Coach Sanders" once he established he could bring 4-Stars in back to back years to a FCS school.  The one thing I will say about the SMU alumni engaged with the program, they demand excellence and put money behind it.  A lot of the half ass stuff leadership has done here since 1995 wouldn't have been tolerated.  It has always be my opinion that quality head coach hirings, firings, and facility improvements are perpetually 3-5 years late.  We have never let go of a coach right on time.  This last opportunity with Seth to let him depart for KSU and receive a buyout was squandered.  And they doubled down and put themselves in a position where it was too expensive to get rid of a coach who had reached his ceiling here without wining a conference championship.   It is that ineptness and perceived lack of dedication that has some SMU fans looking down on us (regardless of the outcome of a game).

I vote that we stop talking about "Dallas' team" (laughed a little just typing that) until the week of our game against them. 

 

In the meantime, let's move all SMU talk to ponyfans.com where you can join all 7 of its members.

Since I keep up with what's going on in the state and nationally, I have a premium membership to On3. I must admit, I was very surprised, at how large the SMU site is and the amount of traffic over there. Seems like you not only big numbers, but many younger people involved.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
