Only fitting to see SMU back in the playoffs legally doing what they got the death penalty for all those years ago.

Exactly! :lol:
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

…….. while the NCAA, who handed out that ‘death penalty, is in Intensive Care under an Oxygen Tent needing an Organ Transplant from the Congress of the United States to stay alive.

Oh what tangled webs are woven when we battle over ‘Who’s the Chosen’….. :wink:

That was the same thought I had when reading this ...

They gave them the Death Penalty for being caught doing what everyone else was doing.

Not because they got caught by the NCAA. Because they got exposed by the media.

Honestly, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they found a way to win the whole darned thing.
