Legendary Hacksaw Jim Duggen was also an SMU football player. He was team captain and got his degree in Plant Biology.
the next guest on the pod should be your number one fan, Ben's Mom. Signed, Ben's Mom.
SMU beat TCU for 15 years straight, 1975 - 1986, that should be our longest wining streak
Hah, turns out Walker was right thinking that we didn’t have longer than a 4 win streak seemed wrong.
I think that SMU has the financial resources and location in a talent-rich area to be a baseball powerhouse. The number in parentheses by each school's name is how many times they have appeared in the the College World Series. The second number, if applicable, is how many national titles they have won. Here's a list of some of the MLB players who have been through other ACC schools:
Cal (6)(2): Marcus Semien, Jeff Kent, Mark Canha, Bob Melvin.
Stanford (19)(2): Steve Buechele (Shane's Dad), Mike Mussina (HOF), Jed Lowrie, Cal Quantrill.
Florida State (24): Buster Posey, J.D. Drew, Deion Sanders, Tony La Russa (HOF), Cal Raleigh.
Miami (25)(4): Mike Piazza (HOF), Ryan Braun, Aubrey Huff, Pat Burrell.
Georgia Tech (3): Mark Teixiera, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Varitek, Charlie Blackmon, Marlon Byrd, Kevin Brown.
Louisville (5): Will Smith (the catcher), Adam Duvall, Nick Solak, Henry Davis.
Boston College (4): Sal Frelick, Michael King.
Syracuse (1): Basically nobody. Baseball program was shut down in 1972.
Duke (3): Marcus Stroman, Dick Groat, Chris Capuano.
Notre Dame (3): Carl Yastrzemski (HOF), Cap Anson (HOF), Craig Counsell, Brad Lidge, Jeff Samardzija.
NC State (4): Trea Turner, Andrew Knizner, Patrick Bailey, Carlos Rodon.
North Carolina (12): Kyle Seager, Brian Roberts, Andrew Miller, Chris Iannetta, Matt Harvey, Zac Gallen.
Pitt (0): Basically nobody.
Wake Forest (3)(1): Chris Getz, Gavin Sheets, Stuart Fairchild.
Clemson (12): Spencer Strider, Jimmey Key, Brad Miller, Eli White, Steven Duggar.
Virginia (7)(1): Josh Sborz (2015 CWS MVP), Ryan Zimmerman, Mark Reynolds, Zack Gelof, Chris Taylor, Pavin Smith, Sean Doolittle.
Virginia Tech (0): Johnny Oates, Kerry Carpenter, Joe Saunders, Joe Mantiply.
Maybe SMU should just buy DBU
@@TheMustangMood I actually looked up DBU’s alumni when doing this research. They’ve got a few fringe guys in the majors right now, but not many. By far the most successful player they’ve ever produced is Ben Zobrist, who was a 2x World Series Champions and somewhat of a trailblazer for the analytics age with his elite defense.
Ewwwie baseball
45:15 make sure to give Bryson the good chair
You know we will!
The important thing about jersey design is recruiting. Recruits care deeply about how they will be presented on the field. The Dallas on the jerseys helped significantly in recruiting. Tcu messed up those new jerseys so bad.
100% agree
There’s no way on earth the ACC falls apart..even after losing fsu and Clemson. We’re good.
They said the same thing about the pac 12
@@AuRoBoss the pac only had 8 schools after they lost their big 4. We’ll have 15 after we lose the big 3, if we even lose all 3. And our tv deal WILL continue until 2036. We’re going to make it.
53:42 2013 was AAC days not C-USA just an fyi
Just found the show. Ever need a former Mustang band kid opinion hmu 😂
I’ll be real. I don’t think baseball at SMU is a realistic possibility financially until we get our full share from the ACC. We have to make sure our existing athletic department can be strong competitors consistently and it would be much harder to do that if we’re building a baseball stadium from scratch and funding 2 brand new programs. I think the easiest pairing to baseball would be women’s lacrosse because we already have a field to play it on and we could integrate their facilities easily around that.
We need to reinstate Track, before Baseball.
@@robertloomis5799 I agree that men’s track needs to return yes!
I definitely think taking on one thing at a time is probably the best choice. Hopefully we do see that growth into other sports in the future.
You guys need to learn a great deal more about your Alma Mater. We have a number of famous football players.
We sure do!
tcu claims to be the big brother but then acts like the little brother by copying our font on jerseys 😂
You forgot to lowercase tcu. They definitely are acting like little brother.
