GAME THREAD: SMU vs ULM

[Charleston Pony]

Don't know if anyone will be tuning into this one. Guys had a decent showing in Ft Myers but it will be interesting to see what kind of energy they show today. This team is all about high intensity defense and I hope they don't let down today because I don't expect much of a crowd in Moody on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. That was always what i observed when I lived in Dallas and had season tickets and attended every game
