Backhanded slap at Smut from PJ:

"Johnson also interviewed at Southern Methodist and Duke this week but said he would have remained at Navy if he hadn't accepted the offer from Georgia Tech.

"We just felt like the opportunity was too great here to come to a great institution and have a chance to compete on the national level," Johnson said. "If I thought there was a ceiling here and we couldn't compete for championships, I wouldn't be standing here."

In other words, not impressed with Smut or it's lack of potential to compete on a national level.

Was there ever a doubt?

I agree NT80. And this is news???...to who??? OK, my bad sportsmanship again. Really, if you haven't gone out to the ponyboard you should. There are some real rocket scientists over there. Like, "PJ used us to get better job". In true SMUt fashion, a better job to them usually means more money. Only PJ took LESS money to go to GT. You just can't make this stuff up!

He would've said the same thing about us, Boise, Hawaii, or any other school in a non-BCS conference.

"PJ used us to get better job"

Hah. Isn't that the essence of why people go to SMU??
