It's that time of year — time to play hooky from work and focus on what's truly important at this time of year: SMU football. PonyFans.com is proud to present the most comprehensive, in-depth preview anywhere of the upcoming season.

The only appropriate way to lead into the holiday weekend is to close the door and take the phone off the hook, and get all of the thoughts of players and coaches in features on the offense, the defense, kickers, offensive MVP, defensive MVP, an analysis of some possible breakthrough players, a preview column from our man Nate, and an overall season outlook! (MVPs are chosen based on feedback from players and coaches.)

Enjoy the preview, and then share questions and comments on the message board!
