SMU Declines Players

[GP1]

This is an interesting article about how schools can slip up. There are many ways to slip up; however, many frequently slip up on a banana peel of self righteousness.

I would be absolutely insane if I was an SMU fan. The team finally gets good and you decline a couple of guys because they don't pass some faculty board who is making a guess as to whether or not they can graduate. Even worse yet, this may drive off a good coach. Nice work SMU.

SMU has acted stupid ever since they got hit with the death penalty.

Here's my favorite line:

SMU is, as the name suggest, a Methodist school, though not overwhelmingly so.

So that means boys and girls are allowed to dance together?

It just means that some of the students read the parts of the Bible that are scary as well.

My wife is a Methodist. They are really good at being happy and pretending there is never any danger. It comes from what they read in church. At Christmas, they always read the story of Abraham being told to take his son up to the mountain and kill him, but they never read the parts where God is telling Abraham to kill his son...only the parts about a lamb being provided for them. God telling Abraham to kill his son would be too much for them to take.

In the movie A River Runs Through It, the father of the two boys is a minister and describes Methodists as "Baptists who can read".
