#ponyexpress ahead of schedule.

NIL and the portal is a perfect storm for that program.

You mean because Texas can no longer kill them after feeling too threatened?

This is as good a time as any to reminisce about that time Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU

The Ponies vs the Shorthorns would be a great semi-final matchup in the Cotton Bowl.

Allegedly. It might be irresponsible to suggest that Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU, but I have it on good authority that in fact Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU.

Remember the 5.

The best part of the ESPN 30 for 30 on SMU was when Ron Meyer was in Craig James living room and called the NCAA Headquarters about Dickerson’s Trans A&M and said “We (SMU) didn’t buy the kid the car and he can be walking with no car for all I care”

Does anyone know why Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU? Fetish? Is he still an active serial killer? I still can’t believe Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU

Aggy bought him the Trans Am.

He still wanted to go to SMU, and SMU pointed out that Aggy can't exactly tell the NCAA.

Everyone rightful is focused on Indiana's schedule, but SMU's schedule is significantly worse.

High fraud probability

It really is. SMU also lost at home to a big 12 team and the other big 12 team they played in TCU scored 42 points on them.

Committee kept Florida state out of CFP because they were perceived as not in the top 4 at that time. I would think this should apply to SMU. Plenty of teams ranked behind them that would beat them.

They have to win the ACC to get in and if they do it’s an automatic bid.

They are receiving $0.00 in media rights for their games too. They are doing it all with booster support. Impressive.
