@SMUHypeMachine @thadfilms A little appalled it has taken you this long to tune in. Proud of you for owning that. Coincidentally I watched it again today. So great. According to a recent interview with Thad there is an 80’s era SMU tv drama miniseries in the works!

I finally got around to watching @thadfilms’ “Thunder On: Resurgence of the SMU Mustangs”, and it’s exquisite. Truly a worthy successor to his 30 for 30: The Pony Excess (yes I know I’m a bad fan for being this late) The intellectual honesty from all the interviewees was equally impressive and eye opening to the events behind the scenes for the last 30-40 years. No one shied away from talking about how detrimental the death penalty was for SMU academically/institutionally and how they’re still trying to cover that lost ground. Nor did they try to excuse any of the history between SMU and the rest of the SWC during the scandals throughout the 70s to 80s. It’s a really solid historical fact based documentary, and does an outstanding job chronicling the troubles SMU faced getting to where they are today, as well as the wins on and off the field that achieved it (I love you, NC State. You will always be my #2 ACC program). I’m so hyped for the 2026 season now. It’s about time SMU wins another national title. #PonyUp

@ByuSome It’s arrogance and a way to exclude in an effort to create the illusion of elites.

I'm convinced so many CFB fans don't actually like CFB. They just like the idea of CFB. "But recruiting rankings!" "But betting odds!" So many hate actual games, lol. Imagine being like, "Well that NFL team doesn't have a top 3 QB, so why are they even in the playoffs?" "They wouldn't be favored on a neutral field, so why even let them in?" I don't hear this in other sports. I don't get it.

I love college football. I think P4 teams that go 11-1 in regular season deserve a CFP berth.

Tne ACC, Big 12 and ND now support the B1G’s 24-team Playoff. The SEC is the last holdout. If they cave, say goodbye to the greatest regular season in sports. If you love college football, it’s time to stand up and make your voices heard. nytimes.com/athletic/72777…

@Expansion_Crush The sec is light years away from the b10 in academic prestige. Avg us news rank: ACC: 52 b10: 55 sec: 110 (only 5 are <100) b12: 139 16-18 team conferences are already too many

FYI, the @bigten and the @SEC, both, have only expanded with AAU members, (Nebraska was when they joined) The SEC wants exactly what the B1G wants - more academic influence and the ability to attract the best students. Don't expect either conference to stray from that

@DePaulAlum Ha ha. Now you are reaching. SMU is a top 100 university in the nation, currently 88 (should be higher). The SMU MBA and JD carry weight. If it helps I had to google depaul to even know what a depaul is.

@PonyApologist It’s ok, if it makes you feel any better, the average Texan doesnt think SMU is anything special academically either. Just a rich kid circle-jerk.

@PonyApologist @amatorsarcasmi @SMUBasketball @PonyHype So Dallas represents all of Texas? That’s my point, unless you’re from the Dallas area or someone that went there, the average Texan doesn’t care about SMU. You guys receive the same attention as UTSA does. Just a tad bit more than UTEP.

@treadmillhorse Part of the fun of playing at SMU is the boulevard experience for fans. Don’t know if it will be the same for a Friday night.
