It’s been a long, tough road for SMU fans. For years they have suffered after their “death penalty,” but fans of Southern Methodist University once again have hope. 2006 gave fans reasons to believe as the Mustangs finished the year 6-6 and 4-4 in C-USA play. But 2007 was a step in the wrong direction as SMU went just 1-11 and 0-8 in Conference USA. While many of 2007’s losses were close ones, this step back meant changes were needed, and the Mustangs proceeded to bring in possibly the most highly-coveted head coach in the college game in June Jones from Hawaii. Coming off a 12-1 season @ Hawaii where he lead the Warriors to a Sugar Bowl berth, Jones received quite an offer to come to SMU and brings hopes of better days with him.
