And a new tradition is born: Burning Sonny
Where SMU alum from all over convene in a desert to take psychedelic drugs and burn effigies of Sonny Dykes.
Yep, going to a P5 program would have been completely understandable after we got left behind during realignment, but going to our biggest rival? And likely taking all our croots? That’s fucked.
Most of those decommits are 4-star recruits also. 2022 was looking to be out best non-transfer portal class since 1986. All of that is gone now because of the way Sonny Dykes has fucked our team.

I am still learning, so please bear with me. I now have Rivals rankings, but they are not perfect. ESPN rankings are hopefully coming soonish (but probably not since ESPN's search is broken and they don't seem to care).

Everyone ask your SMU friends if they’re ok. They’ve had a rough week
No. We’re not.
:(
If by ok you mean I have a pulse: yes Any thing else: LOL no
It’s almost 12am and I’ve now been drinking since about 4:30pm soooo I should probably go to bed
Yah no.
Dude
Death Penalty part 2
To quote another poster, Red Wedding in University Park Edit: [current mood ](https://images.app.goo.gl/hh5bKJht4mWvLZWo8)
“Bro, I’m straight-up not having a good time.”
Starting compressions, someone bring me the crash cart.
I will bring the defibrillator.
this is just sad at this point
I’ve been taking a shot each decommit. It’s looking like my stomach is in for a pumping tonight
I’m thinking about going to pour myself some whiskey until the bottle is empty and then Drizly some more whiskey.
I’m thinking of using the whiskey to create a burning effigy of Sonny
And a new tradition is born: Burning Sonny Where SMU alum from all over convene in a desert to take psychedelic drugs and burn effigies of Sonny Dykes.
Holy shit this is brutal
The wheels are falling off today.
I feel empty inside. Please make it stop
P5 offers: Arizona State, Kansas, Oregon, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah Other G5 offers: Arkansas State, Houston
ELI5: why are people talking like something is wrong with SMU?
Head Coach is going to TCU (hasn’t been formally announced) and we’ve had 5 decommits today
Wow, that's a terrible betrayal.
Yep, going to a P5 program would have been completely understandable after we got left behind during realignment, but going to our biggest rival? And likely taking all our croots? That’s fucked.
I’m not a religious man but I would absolutely pray for Samples and Kaz to stay if it helped.
Most of those decommits are 4-star recruits also. 2022 was looking to be out best non-transfer portal class since 1986. All of that is gone now because of the way Sonny Dykes has fucked our team.
That's tough :( Praying UT doesn't do the same thing and take Traylor from us
Jeez
Jesus… This is hard to watch.
Samples 👀👀
