SMU is rolling like it hasn’t since the 80s. I’d stay if I was Dykes. I would think Tech pays atleast double what SMU pays.

There was always rumors he’d leave for this big job or that one. He never did. Built his program up. I wonder if he would do the same with UTSA? Stay until the timing was right to make the big move? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I kinda like it. Granted, I've only been there a handful of times, and only for short visits. Never lived there, but it seems like a happening city, and cheap.

Politics, schools, football, etc sucks. If you go there for vacation trips or something at the conference center, its the most wonderful thing in the world... until you walk a few blocks and realize that SA literally lets thousands of homeless people sleep right on the main commerce and tourist streets. It's a liberal cesspool of the worst kind. It's California... They disguise it with Disneyland and Hollywood, but when you look into it, its literally Chicago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed at one of the older historic hotels near the theatre. It was 3-4 blocks (about a mile or so) from the conference center. One morning, I decided to walk instead of waiting for the shuttle for my conference. There were hundreds of homeless just on my street alone. Note, that this street has access to at least 2 of the main entrances to the Riverwalk area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the mudhole they call the Riverwalk? I did run my marathon there. It was cool- it started at the Alamo, ran outside of the loop, and then back... Started with this big cannon shot and gun volley and everything. Thankfully Alec Baldwin wasn't one of the ones firing blanks. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a wedding in SA 2 weeks ago... this couldn't be more true. We stayed on the riverwalk and every time we stepped foot out of our hotel there were homeless galore. Not to mention the city is incredibly dirty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelvisPresley Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 amazing how it became a political message about SA...every post becomes political ("they're liberal") for some...instead of just a message of great news for a local boy to move to another bigger job post or news that he'd stay put and keep building! by the way, there are great conservatives and liberals in every town... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more about how liberal policies have allowed a great Texas city turn into trash and homelessness in the most populated tourist streets. And all of this is relevant on why he should gtfo of SA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
