Re: Spring game notes

Thank you, Jason B. Great stuff as always. I'm always glad we don't lose you to graduation.

Two Mustangs named to All-Portal Transfer team

From the Athletic website:
(1) Offence - Logan Parr (G) After playing a reserve role for three years at Texas, Parr joined SMU as a grad transfer and had a strong year that earned him first team All-AAC honors. He established himself as the Mustangs' starter at left guard and graded out as the ...

Re: NFL Mustang news

Like you, I never really understood why Proche didn't have more of an opportunity to display his talents in Baltimore. He's a skilled punt returner but, in the NFL, it seems 75 % of the time the returners simply have to call for a fair catch.
And, I really wish teams would put two returners back ...

Re: Thoughts on the Memphis game

Great insights, Jason B. And, I couldn't agree more - I hate the three-man rush in obvious passing situations. It puts far too much pressure on our secondary; they can't cover talented receivers for 7-8 seconds, especially against a quarterback as talented as Henigan.
The best defense I've ever seen ...

Re: Rhett Lashlee

I have confidence that Coach Lashlee will not treat us the way Sonny Dykes did. As Eric Dickerson said recently, coaches are going to change schools but there is a right way to do it. Flying into TCU's stadium two days after our season ended, and persuading two of our top recruits to join him. is ...

Re: Frogs Lose

With apologies to Muhammad Ali: "If you wanna lose your money, bet on Sonny" (He said that before his first fight with Sonny Liston).
With two of their last three games against Oklahoma and Texas, TCU faces the very real possibility of finishing 5-7 and not going to a bowl game.

Re: Rob Lanier doomsday clock

I saw most of their games on ESPN etc. To me, the team appeared to be well coached - they hustled and played good defence. They also shared the basketball. The problem was....they couldn't shoot the three.
They lost six of their last seven games. Their worst shooting performance was against Memphis ...

Re: Why did we hire Rob Lanier?

Whatever you think of Jank, we have not moved to the next level with Lanier. I see a couple of guys on this squad who have talent and several more who could develop, but I don't see the fundamentals being stressed at all and I wonder how efficiently practices are being managed.

Actually, I think ...

Re: A bit shocking

Yes, I agree it is too early to fire Coach Lashlee. But last night's performance, the only college football game being televised at that time, was simply pathetic. Even the announcers pointed out that our defense appeared to have quit.
It was beyond embarrassing to be down 49-7 in the 3rd quarter ...
