Our spy needs to keep a lower profile.

Bill Clinton. If he can get out of his first lady duties.

The thought of butch women sitting on urinals isn't very appetizing either.

I know from experience that it's tough being a MeanGreener, but sorry, I just don't share your doomsday pessimism. I wouldn't even bother posting if I did. We're in the process of cleaning house at most top levels other than the Prez, so I'm actually becoming fairly optimistic. Time for new beginnings, and let's hope that we can manage to win a few games next fall to get things started.

So cut out the cancer and leave no cells behind?

I agree with all of that wholeheartedly. I also think that one of the most important attributes that we should look for in our new AD, is that this person should be someone who doesn't look down on us and is simply looking at the job as a stepping stone to greater things. I know that this characteristic can sometimes be difficult to vet, but I've often had the feeling that too many of our more recent hires just didn't give a damn. I guess I'm saying that I don't want us hiring anyone too young unless he is truly exceptional and/or has NT ties. This will be interesting, but I also have to wonder if this job is already basically filled.

I don't mind the Army series so much. It generally gives us a chance at a win, and they can bring in a decent crowd. I'd also like to make it up there someday for an NT game myself.

Wow. This isn't May Fools Day or anything is it?

"And SMU has picked up a Denzell Evens, a running back who is transferring in from Arkansas. He will be eligible this year, just in time to face UNT." Hey, he's coming in from a P5. That means he will automatically run through little ole us like a knife through butter.

If we get drubbed by Beth Cookman, I'll join the other 90+ percenters and leave without ever looking back. Someone will have to tap me on the shoulder in the future and tell me that we're in the Top 25 before I'll jump back on that bandwagon again.

Oh well, at least maybe he will increase smu's attendance at games in Denton by 10%. Shouldn't take more than his immediate family to accomplish that.

Location, location should front the presentation.

Hmmm...I'm feeling a little feminine today, so I think I'll grab me a dress and a wig and head on down to the women's showers. I'll just wait outside and follow the first hottie that walks in the door. No problem with that is there? Do these feelings officially qualify me as a lesbian? This is all getting so confusing.

At around six feet he was probably too short for Dan "Stretch" McCarney. We need to look for local area talent first as we did in the olden days.

Texas likely goes west for the academics and more beatable teams, while the rest of the destinations are a mystery to me. Hopefully the implosion waits until we can somehow start winning consistently in multiple sports.

http://thelab.bleacherreport.com/the-largest-football-recruit-on-the-planet/ We've already got a "smaller" more polished version, and it would at least be interesting to see them both on the field together 2-3 seasons down the road.

Agreed. The size thing seems to have turned into an obsession. Since I've never done the famous stand up test with him, I'm just guessing that he's at least around five ten and pretty solid. Good enough for the college game. Of course it's going to vary, but I actually like shorter mobile guys if they have the necessary tools. Oops. Did that sound a little....

smu's "true" football fans are all pretty much in nursing homes these days. About the only time I've seen their stadium legitimately close to half full or more is through major promotions (DISD for an SFA game) or against an old SWC foe. Considering that it's opening day, my guess would be that they will bring in a mildly decent contingent this time. By that I mean maybe a couple of thousand. I will be shocked if they bring in a crowd even remotely close to 5k (won't happen), which really should be the absolute minimum for this match up in Denton no matter how bad either one of us are.

We don't need no stinking biology/chemistry majors running free with those lunatics. Hope the 72 virgins he's hanging with now are all male.

Yes, someone would likely want him as an assistant for recruiting purposes, and it's pretty clear that recruiting is what he does best. On the other hand he might prefer to take a year off and hang on the beach on our dime.

Then why do we even bother posting? It's over. Finito. Kaput. I guess we should just let sleeping dogs lie, and we might as well stop beating that old dead horse too.

Maybe because Moby Rick is in charge, and he hates any Eagle that is not Golden?

We've just never been able to throw together any consistency over a period of years. The N.O. Bowl years we're a start, but we were pretty much in a 1AA conference at the time, so we really didn't impress enough recruits (or fans) to seriously jump on board and awaken that elusive jolly green sleeping giant. That's especially true since we didn't have much in the way of big OOC wins during those bowl years. Almost makes me wish we would have stuck with DD, but of course a lot of the blame for his departure lands squarely on him. Let us hope that Seth is finally the cure, because there are more than a couple of negative words out there that rhyme with his name.

Especially since old Harry never graduated from college.

Ahh. Guess I got fooled by a photoshop joke on here a few weeks ago. My bad.
