And in other news… Pigs flying over Dallas!
After 20 long, excruciatingly painful, agonizing years… SMU has finally returned to Division I football.
They nutted up and paid a legitimate Div1A coach. This is the very first sign since the death penalty that anyone over at the hilltop even cared that they got the shit kicked out of them every week.
Now, it seems, someone cares. Whether that someone is Steve Orisini, Gerald Turner, or Gerald Ford is an exercise left to the reader.
In Jones’s first year at Hawaii, he took an 0-12 team to 9-4. With the same players. I don’t expect that sort of turnaround, but the Ponies have seen neither a winning season, nor a bowl, since they resumed play in 1989. Either would represent real progress.
