I am really sorry to see SMU2006 post that comment about taking care of players when it was illegal to do so. I could accept his previous comments about the rich can make the rules but I can't agree that they can break them as well. I have even admired what they have accomplished in only one year in the AAC and agree with the DMN that in hindsight the BIG 12 made a mistake in passing them over. Granted the death penalty was probably a bridge too far but if SMU2006 can justify it's institutional cheating then the Mustangs have learned nothing.
Without knowing what JD knows, I'd be interested in Sammy Lawanson. He's the Co-DC and outside linebackers coach at Bowling Green. Ranked 29th in total defense and 24th in scoring defense, I don't believe anybody scored more than 34 against them which was to Penn State on the road and also includes holding Texas A&M to 26 on the road. He previously coached at Tulsa and for those interested in Texas ties he was the defensive coordinator at Hillcrest (04-05) in Dallas, John Horn (07-11) in Mesquite, and Haltom City (06). That leads me to my fun fact:
If I'm counting correctly, Lawanson would have been the DC at Haltom HS when Lance Dunbar was a junior there.
