Don’t tell me about what can’t be done… 14 yrs. ago my son was born with cerebral palsy & we were told he’d spend his life in a wheel chair. Today, he ran his second cross country race of his life 17:09 2mile. Those Dr’s didn’t know our God or our family. Impossible is NOTHING!

Thanks @PatMcAfeeShow for the stash love! I told a player week two as long as we keep winning I’ll keep growing it! And yes, I would be honored to cover your back in a scrap if things ever get froggy, just give me a call! #PonyUpDallas 🔴🔵.

I was born in Dallas, I live in Dallas & I’ll die in Dallas! The Triple D is more than just a logo or marketing campaign to me, it’s my life! It’s my intention to stay right here on The Hilltop defending what we’ve built & loving this Great Family! #PonyUpDallas🔴🔵

12 years ago doctors told me my son would never walk independently & live his life in a wheelchair. Today, he and I hiked six miles through the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. PLEASE tell me what else impossible! It’s the best motivator in the world. #PonyUpDallas🔴🔵

We had our SMU football banquet tonight and the way @rhettlashlee went through our roster and spoke in depth about EVERY senior was something to behold. Our culture isn’t a coincidence, it’s sincere and honest. It is why we win! So proud to be Mustang!.

The Transfer Portal opens tomorrow. There’re boys from DFW playing football all over this nation & watching what’s going on at SMU. Just so you all know, it’s even more fun than the videos show. No hard feelings, HOME is always HOME. We’ll leave the light on for you.

It’s hard to believe this will be my 8th season on The Hilltop. Coming to SMU was the best decision of my professional life and staying at SMU was an even better decision. Thankful every single day that I get the opportunity to come to work. It is WAY more than just football!

Several people asked me last night if I had “ever dreamed of our stadium looking like that?” I replied “It was never a dream. It was a clear vision every day that I walked through the front doors over the last seven years. This is just the start not some dreamy destination!”

A 6yr old SMU Megafan named Blake thought the turf in his backyard would look much better if there was an SMU Endzone painted on it! Once I saw it on social media I knew we had to meet this visionary! So, @BGShaneBuechele @jamesproche3 @The_XavierJones & I showed up at his house.

All of the congratulatory calls & texts about our commits are great but I’m also kind of curious… What did y’all think was gonna happen? Look at our staff, the new facility, the ACC & SMU! I’ve been trying to tell y’all for some years now. This was our plan! #PonyUpDallas

A friend sent me this pic today as my son starts 4th grade. 11 yrs. ago I was building a football program from scratch & using my office desk as a day bed for Max while I called college coaches. “Coach I have a linebacker you must see! Give me a second to burp my son.” #HustleN

“Working” with @CoachDykesSMU at @SMU_Football in the city where I was born & raised has been one of the greatest joys of my life & we are just getting warmed up. Coach Dykes is building the college football program this city has always deserved! I feel lucky to be a part of it.

It will be decades before there’s another one like @rdj13__ on The Hilltop! We will replace him next year with three different players. I pray that the SMU alumni base understands who he is and what he did for this place and makes sure he reaps the benefit the rest of his life.
When Dallas’ own Roderick Daniels Jr. takes the field at Penn State, he will show that kids don’t have to leave the city to show their talent. “You definitely can do it at SMU.”. This is the story of what he overcame to get this College Football Playoff moment. #PonyUp

I can’t understand why MAGA (Mustangs Are Great Again) is so divisive. Jealousy is the only explanation. I’m not a huge Trump fan, but I really appreciate his relentless support of our program. I think it’s AWESOME we have so many maniacal supporters in the Deep South!
