Let’s not talk up our football stadium. It is a dump too. Smu did spend a lot to put theirs in the ground. If you can remember when we both joined the WAC, we had to have stadiums with 35,000 or more. SMU met that requirement and also had future plans that would double the size.
SMU has the donors and the money to make smu successful if they want too. We have to work twice as hard as they do. They will always be the coke and we will always be the Pepsi. Everyone likes the underdog and that is what we are.
SMU got lucky and yes, we got screwed. All we can do is keep winning games and try to overcome the recruiting obstacle we will have versus SMU.
Let’s face it, now that SMI is playing Clemson, Miami, Florida State and sometimes ND; do you think recruits want to play for a big 12 school like us! We need to use are NIL money. If not we are done!
