More from Facebook

After a rather embarrassing outing against the University of North Texas, some SMU students have mobilized to create a Facebook group: SMU football is dead to me.

The group info is as follows:

"We stayed strong through a winless season. We felt joy in three wins. We charged the field with pride after TCU. But this is too much.

"We've been drinking the kool-aid for too long. A thrashing by North Texas after so much offseason hype and so many promises is just too much. We quit.

"We'll come back to SMU football if:
1. Phil Bennett fires Offensive Coordinator Rusty Burns.
2. SMU fires Phil Bennett.
3. We somehow, miraculously, make it to a conference championship or bowl game.

"Until then we'll find another team to support. Maybe soccer, or something. "

I won't be joining this group, b/c SMU football isn't QUITE dead to me. It's getting there, though. Phil Bennett is a nice guy and all, and he's had a rough life, but SMU football is really, really awful.

Good thing we're not playing TCU this year. It would sting giving back that Iron Skillet.
