Crapped out in front of the tube tonight I had a bizarre opportunity to watch "30 for 30" on ESPN regarding the demise of SMU football while on the local KBYU station there was yet another replay of the 1980 Holiday Bowl between BYU and SMU.
So during commercial breaks I would put on the game and watch some of the players that were interviewed for the ESPN episode. (Kinda like talking about the history while watching it take place).
Given what happened to the Mustang Football Program for years after given the death penalty, it only reinforces my opinion that June Jones is a remarkable coach. It also gives me even more respect for what Coach Hoke has accomplished, thus far, at State.
And given years later as schools are still put on probation for violations, it only reinforces my belief that people measure their self worth in strange ways and there are still those out there that will do whatever it takes to be associated with a winner.
I would never accept a ten win football season or twenty win basketball seaon at State if it involved knowingly breaking the rules. And I trust it will never become an issue to be discussed on this board. (Can you spell priorities?)

June Jones is kicking ass in recruiting. Looks like he just pulled an OLineman (Reich?) from the SD area.

That show was so interesting. Eric Dickerson is one of my all-time favorite players was my best RB until Marshall of course. It is great to see that the former players are excited about football at their school and want to do whatever they can to help promote it. I am sure the more winning Brady does the more former players will get onboard and get excited like those former SMU players were.

I was really bummed out when Hawaii would not commit to better facilities and really getting serious about football even after their BCS busting season. June Junes has got SMU going in the same way Brady Hoke has SDSU going up. Jones has a one year lead on Brady in building a program. I think Brady will have a recruiting class like Jones next year and it will only get better for both schools.

...that will SUM up SMU, MUSt see football...
Sorry...I...couldn't...resist...typing...it...
I need to call my 'rapist...don't you find it really difficult after you just took time off work, to drive all the way down to Laguna Hills, on a wet, rainy, cold morning, and what happens? You walk up to the front door, and on the front door, in very large, pulsating words, you read, "The Rapist"??
I'm telling you, it's just difficult.
