See yous guys there!

Sterling Moore made the Patriots

Jenna Jameson (for recruiting?)

Don Nelson

Pitt lost both their Head Coach and their DC / Interim HC, both leaving to ASU -- and 2 different ASU's !

I really love seeing Darius bloom -- since 2009 his speed was exciting. reminds me of how we saw Aldrick mature and improve after being in the shadow of Emmanuel - now Darius comes into his own as a legitimate big time #1 WR after being in Al's shadow somewhat

how 'bout those Mustangs! I'm ready to get into the meat of the schedule.

meanwhile I can't help but notice the dropoff in scoring in the 3Q. only 6% of scoring is in the 3Q:

1 2 3 4 T
SMU 48 41 7 28 124
Opp 30 13 17 10 70

I'd love to see this stat catch up and to see some big 3rd quarters in ...

TCU had several players paroled last night, so they will be available for the game as long as Patterson can keep them out of trouble until 7pm

as I understood, if McCann made the 53 man roster, then they have to pay him a full-year minimum salary. so he would be pulling down a nice chunk in addition to the $5,000 per week he can get with the Cowboys.

does anyone know if that's correct, of if Baltimore only has to pay him a pro-rated ...

June Jones,

I don't get the point of running it!

The direct snap didn't seem to provide any value against UTEP.

I guess we can keep it in our back pocket, and if Marshall is stopping our running game, then we can ...

let's say that SMU is bowl eligible with one of the top CUSA records.

let's say the Hawaii bowl invites SMU.

Who really wants SMU to play in Hawaii on Christmas Eve?
June Jones... people in Hawaii... the players/families?...

what if we were to reject a bid from the Hawaii bowl, and target the ...

my take is that my expectations are low due to the rebuilding. I pledged to give June Jones 2 years with no expectations, then I'm expecting to see real improvement in the 3rd year. I said this before last season and I'm sticking to it. wins this year are gravy. Next year, no excuses.

We could use some improvement in this area in order to do a better job to put games away.

This season we've scored 21 points off 11 turnovers.
While our opponents have scored more points off fewer turnovers. (27 points off 6 turnovers)

The big difference is that we've given up 3 big returns on ...

I'm looking forward to the Tailgate season opener,
and expecting to continue the SMU unbeaten streak for Tailgating.

How will June Jones perform,
and can we trust a Freshman QB to properly grill a bratwurst?
Time will tell

see y'all on the Boulevard!
