You forgot the rest of the quote, Harry.

Time to ink Mac to a long-term Deal.

[Rudy]

Hey, now they will know how we felt during the (he who shall not be named) years.

Has the journey left the driveway? Something's being engineered alright.

I always listen to Journey in my driveway. Wait, what are we talking about?

[Rudy]

I wonder if $mut has stopped Bo-leving?

[UNTLifer]

Love the comment about SMU will now only have 2k season ticket holders and 30k empty seats. Nothing has changed.

[Travis Scott]

I'm pumped they extended his contract. We should be able to beat them for a long time coming.

[Mean Green 93-98]

To me, it doesn't make sense for either side. June Jones is a good coach, but he left a bad taste in everyone's mouth and lost a lot of support when he was ready to jump to Arizona State. I believe June Jones can win somewhere else, but his best years at SMU are probably behind him. And with the salary that SMU offers, they could just about have their pick of any coordinator in all of FBS and out of several head coaches.

Yeah, I thought most pony fans were against this move. Oh well, GMG!

Competitive Relevance? Montana state, uconn, usf...

[Harry]

They're stuck -- if they fire him it will cost a lot of money (he makes 2 million a year!!) and hurt their recruiting. If they keep him it is demoralizing to the fan base. The whole Arizona State caper is like a cancer for their program.

[Rudy]

This is what you get for murdering hookers.

[PlummMeanGreen]

He is probably the best coach SMU could get now. SMU is probably the best school June Jones could get now.

Think about it...

GMG!

[MeanMag]

They are having some success there. This season was a disappointment for them, but they were terrible before he got there. How does Gilbert end up there without June Jones?

On a side note:

Getting bowl eligible earned Bobby Hauck a three-year contract extension through the 2016 season.

GMG.

If they were paying him double Mac's salary maybe but more than triple??

[eulessismore]

Paying June Jones or Garrett Gilbert?

I believe it was Craig James who killed five hookers. I may be wrong, but I'm not.

[UNTLifer]

The did it for the sake of the inner city ministry

There is no truth to the rumor that Craig James killed five hookers. Anyone who says that Craig James killed five hookers is mistaken.
