That'd make 3 teams from the State of Texas.

Lashlee was at the top of my wish list for LSU.

SMU has a great coach. Really wish we would go that route instead of making Kiffin the highest paid coach ever.

Lashlee has a fantastic situation. Almost jealous how easy SMU’s road to the playoffs is.

Southern Millionaires University.

Watch out, Texas Tech.

It’s been a long, long slog but SMU has really worked to position itself very nicely after the death penalty of the ‘80s and the subsequent demise of the old Southwest Conference and being left to scatter in the wind.

$ for $ and pound for pound, A&M's road is a lot more desirable.

SMU donors are loaded. He would be a hard pull.

SMU had one problem in those days. Texas. Texas had the pull at the NCAA to get them suspended.

SMU no longer has a Texas problem

No doubt there was an unwritten rule about not snitching. That's why Bama hates Tenner and I agree with them.

There is a reason all the Texas teams hate the horns. Any time a team would get a leg up on them, NCAA violations would suddenly surface. Yet somehow, there were never any against the team in Austin. There are some great books out there about the SWC.

I don't hate the horns. I find them highly entertaining and extremely predictable.

It would be funny if 3 Texas teams make the CFP and the horn's aren't one of them

Lashlee was at the top of my list when we hired Lebby. Most of the MSU fanbase laughed at me.

He made the playoff last year and is a win away from playing for a playoff spot again.

Which ones?

Meat on the Hoof
A Payroll to Meet
The Pony Trap

Those are all solid. Any others?
