Looking for Leadership

When Traci Wolfson interviewed Bobby Patrino at the half during the Arkansas/LSU game this week, his response reminded me of what I’d like to see in our SMU football coaching staff and leadership. She tried to create an emotional interview by calling the group "emotional and fragile" and Patrino ...

Re: Attention Gary Patterson, please...

"Yeah that whole thing was bizarre. I knew they screwed that up. Unfortunately we didnt have enough fans to boo about it."

That's such a good point - the fans need to get louder with calls like the ones I saw today. The old SMU days of football complacency need to go away and we as the fans need to ...

Re: Players want to go to an out of town Bowl

We should be happy to be going to a bowl game at all with the way these last several games have been played. As I said on another post, please give us back the SMU team who beat TCU before we go anywhere. A win always gives the team good momentum going into the next season and the offense needs that ...

Re: 4 kicking game gaffes, 5 turnovers = SMU win. What?

It kind of felt like I was watching old Phil Bennett football. I agree that the defense looked better and special teams and McDermott were pathetic at best. I just wonder why Padron was benched (for the most part) after the A&M game for throwing interceptions and JJ was not - what was the thinking ...

Re: As we close Rice week, keep this in mind...

Good point on the MOB band, I couldn't think of a time where they didn't come to the game. I have to say, however, they might have been more enjoyable to watch than the game

Re: POLL: Good Year....... or Not?

This reminds me of the saying "it's not where you start but how you finish" and SMU finished their season looking more like a high school team than a Division I football program - they are better than that. Will someone please find the football team that beat TCU and bring them back for the bowl ...
