Gosh, when I used to visit Dallas not too long ago - when SMU was a powerhouse - it was a big city and there were a lot of SMU grads walking around. I suspect that there are still a lot of wealthy Texans hanging around who would like to see the Mustangs return to prominence.
 
Are you an SMU grad by chance?
 
Actually, I think, once again, that you and others are really missing the point.
 
Obviously SMU Football has struggled to regain its footing following the death penalty. In the past years it has fallen behind Texas, Texas A&M and other programs. But times are changing.  Heck, it was not all that long ago that many viewed [B]TCU[/B] as a dead football program - and now it's in the Big 12.
 
Did you, with all of your "Texas" experience, predict the intense resurrection of the Horned Frogs' program?  Don't you think that your quick dismissal of SMU or Houston is itself a bit "arrogant"?
 
Haven't you ignored the fact that SMU is now playing pretty competitive football and that my analysis is really prospective?
 
On second thought, the fact that you do not seem willing to consider what may very well occur in the near future with traditional programs such as SMU and Houston is not so much "arrogant," but misguided.
 
Sorry.
