OT: How does SMU - Fitbud - 02-14-2015 12:05 PM
Go from empty arenas in CUSA to Hosting college game day in a matter of two or three years?

Sounds like a question to ask over on the AAC board.

Has nothing to do with it, hiring the right coach does, however.

It's just distressing to see lesser schools get the spotlight.

Because their fan base isn't made up of cheap fans looking for freebies to attend.

SMU sucks. They're nothing but a bunch of spoon-fed, preppy biches

It has nothing to do with their "peewee football like atmosphere" at football games.

They hired one of the top 5 basketball coaches of the last 30 years.
