SMU needs to know its place and stay in its lane. Last time it didn’t, it fucked itself over for decades. (And saying that with an MBA from Cox)

SMU is a regional private school. It’s nice that its rich alums want good sports teams. They are still, even at peak performance, #4 in Dallas, after Texas, TAMU and OU (and when not at peak, they are behind TT, OSU and Arkansas) 

 

as a smu big cigar, how much are you chipping in to hire cdc ?

Give me a break. CDC isn’t leaving UT for freaking SMU. That’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve read this year, and there have been some insanely ridiculous things in the news this year.

CDC has already been at TCU and did a great job with the limitations a private school not named ND or USC have to overcome.  SMU is not even on his radar.  The only places I could see him leaving for from Austin is to be head of the SEC or the BIG.

Tell @UTEE97 that. He seems really concerned.

Well - the rules have changed a bit - but maybe you've been living under a rock. 

You say that we're #4 - we were better than your #2 and #3 last season football-wise. 

I think CDC is more realistic than y'all think but we shall see. The Texas-grad arrogance meter knows no bounds.

Yeah I'm sure "Big Frog 2" is unbiased.

Oh SMU knows it's lane. As soon as it became legal to pay players they knew they were back.

He's not talking about win/loss records. He's talking about people actually giving a shit. 

Sure, Texas people are arrogant. So are folks from SMU. Who gives a shit? All that arrogance doesn't put people in the stands or compel them to watch SMU play football on television. If OU, A&M, or Arkansas were to play SMU next year in Dallas in a real stadium, I guarantee you the stadium would be more than 50% the opponents' fans. 

No one really gives a shit about SMU football. Maybe before the Cowboys existed, but certainly not since the NFL took over eyeballs. Even in their Pony Express cheating heyday, nobody came to the games. It's helpful they moved to that rinky dink on campus stadium that holds a baker's dozen for capacity. 

It's also helpful they're active in NIL. Maybe they can continue to be competitive. But the level of caring will continue to remain low. Part of it is institutional. It's a small private university. That's just how it is.

The point is- we are talking about the attraction of SMU’s AD job. It is limited. You’re trying to fill a 32k stadium and you have games on the CW(?) channel. You play games on a Friday night. 
 
He captured what I meant when I said SMU was # 4 in Dallas, exactly. 
 
It’s ok. TCU is #4 in Fort Worth.

I hope we do steal CDC just to watch the fucking meltdown here. 

 

You aren't Rice. Not even close.

SMU flexing on UT is hilarious. Two good seasons in the last 40 and they’re a big dog. Yawn. Come back when you’ve had half the success of TCU this century, much less trying to position yourself with blue blood programs.

We’re Texas.   CDC seems to like the limelight. He’s at a school with unlimited resources.  Why would he leave one of the biggest brands in cfb for a regional school who’s biggest claim to fame is getting the death penalty?

 

 

I get why Hartzell left.   It was political

If their offense hadn't self destructed at the beginning I think they could have made a game of it. Their defense looked way better before everything got out of hand than I thought they would. I don't feel like the score was as reflective of the difference between the two teams as it appears. But because that's what everyone expected going in, there's this collective nodding of heads, "See? SMU didn't really belong there." I mean, maybe they didn't, but it's because their offense wasn't ready for the big stage, not necessarily because they couldn't compete from a talent level.  On the other hand, scoreboard matters.

Right, because the other first round games were so competitive.
