Re: One month out...Ceiling and Floor for SMU this year...

I say 10-2, but I am an SMU homer since I was six watching Eric Dickerson run all up and down Texas Stadium. Been waiting for this season like this for a long, long time and I intend to enjoy every single moment. See yΓÇÖall on the Boulevard!

Re: McFall selected to Doak Walker Award watch list

He is going to win the Doak Walker award before he is done at SMU. Such a talent and I think he is going to become a breakout star this year. Let go Mustangs!!! Cannot wait.

Re: Memphis tries SMU-like pitch to Big 12, fails

SMU has the most wins of any Texas FBS school since 2019. The first year pay for play was legalized and NIL was on its way. Go Mustangs!!!

Re: Kevin Jennings interview at ACC Football Kickoff

I think if we go into Death Valley and win, he shoots to the top of the Heisman race. It will be fascinating to watch.

Re: Five ACC Games that will shape CFP

Clemson plays LSU, Miami plays Notre Dame and SMU has Baylor and TCU. These non-conference games are a chance for the ACC to send a message and sets up for a very interesting second half!!! Go ACC and Go Mustangs!!

See what Rhett Lashlee had to say at ACC Football Kickoff

Mr. Finebaum - Please explain to your viewers how 2002 Alabama did not get the death penalty when their charges were more egregious than SMUΓÇÖs in the 1980s? Thanks and I will hang up and listen.

Go get them Coach Lashlee!! Bravo!

Re: Happy... Got my season tickets today

I am going with 10-2. Between, Baylor, TCU, Clemson, Louisville and Miami, we go 3-2. Sweep the rest. We will earn more respect going 10-2 against this schedule than we did going 11-1 against last yearΓÇÖs schedule. I think this program is built to stay and (I know I am an SMU homer) will win the ...

Re: Notre Dame Fans WonΓÇÖt Like This Brutal Thought

There used to be an old joke: A Notre Dame player went to confession. He told the priest, I spit in my opponent's eye. Terrible said the priest. I also held him multiple times. Horrible said the priest. I also kicked him in the groin. Reprehensible said the priest. By the way who was this opponent ...

Re: Notre Dame Fans WonΓÇÖt Like This Brutal Thought

Chuck Todd is right. SMUΓÇÖs overall winning percentage in 1986 was well over .500. We have weathered the storm and are on our way. SMU is going to be a national title contender every year and soon.

And now a look ahead

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45441475/college-football-2025-future-power-rankings-every-team

Very favorable ranking at No. 14. The expectations for Kevin Jennings and our defense are high.

Re: ESPN FPI Top 25

I saw as a kid every home game of the Pony Express era and the team we have now is comparable in size and skill. Alabama is flipping our recruits now and we are flipping TCUΓÇÖs recruits. Those teams went 49ΓÇô9-1 in the SWC that was every bit as tough as the SEC today. Five straight top 20 finishes ...

Re: ESPN FPI Top 25

10+ wins should be the expectation and staying ranked all season.

Incoming talent > outgoing talent.

Think 1980-1984 SMU without recruiting restrictions. As it was those teams finished twice in the top 5. I think if you look at the 2025 recruiting class (best in a long time) versus what is ...

Offseason review

DonΓÇÖt believe it. Believe this. The pony express went 49-9-1 in a five year period with recruiting restrictions. Imagine what they would have done in the NIL era? That is now. Expect 10 wins and a shot at the playoffs. Book it. The talent coming in is greater than the talent leaving. Now it is up ...
