You and I are on the same page, brother. I was just talking to my wife about this last night.

Maybe the plan all along is to look at 2026.

Re: Hostile Atmosphere?

I've wondered the same thing Highlander. The bottom line is that Penn State doesn't have any more experience selling out late December home games in freezing cold weather than SMU does.

Re: FSU: "We Never Said We Wanted to Leave"

FSU is exhausting. I can just imagine the BIG and SEC looking at all their antics and saying, "no thanks". They've made so many enemies.

Re: Penn state Forums

Franklin is 3-19 vs top 10 opponents.

One thing is for sure, SMU will be loose and have nothing to lose. Draw back of course is 30 degree weather. That is absolutely brutal. No question that hurts us. That and their long grass

I literally was just about to post about FranklinΓÇÖs inability to ...

Re: Where does Ford put an 8,000 seat expansion?

Just talking to my Virginia golf buddy about the bball game and football stadium expansion came up. He says PLEASE don't increase the capacity because Virginia did that and ruined their environment because they don't fill the stadium. His suggestion: build more suites/boxes on the east side as that ...

I will be there with the family. I make no predictions b/c I'm too nervous. This is big.

Re: The Calgorithm on Sonny

Mike Cavan was the worst. I remember when Jim Copeland fired him his quote was "I've seen enough." and Mike Cavan responded famously with "Well, I've had enough."

Phil Bennett gave it his all and tore it to the ground to built us back up but just couldn't get us over the hump against Rice and then ...

Re: Injury update yet?

I thought for sure KJ was finished for the night after that hit. I was really surprised when he came out for the next series. But I definitely wondered if he might end up missing some time even though he gutted it out at the end of the Duke game.

My son and I are driving up for the game. First time I've been to an SMU road game since the 1997 debacle at Amon Carter in Fort Worth. Looking forward to it! Ponies will win!!!

Matthew Hibner

Here is what I have heard/know about Hibner:

1. He was brought in from Michigan as more of a blocking tight end and to add some veteran big game experience.

2. He exceeded expectations in camp.

3. He has 2 receptions on the year, and none in the past several games.

I've seen him appear in games ...

Re: Mustangs now No. 22 in both polls

The polls are funny. We have a bye week and move up 4 spots. Then we go on the road and win by 30, and we fall in the AP poll. Go figure.

Re: Notre Dame

Yeah, I saw they were scheduled way out. Bummer. I guess I can put the seeing SMU beat Notre Dame at Ford dream on ice for at least another decade plus.

Still waiting to settle a score from 1989.

Notre Dame

I feel like this may have been discussed here before, so apologies if I'm replowing the same ground. Has there been any talk about altering Notre Dame's future ACC schedule in light of the new members joining the conf? Or do they have to play out whatever is already on the books before we can hope ...
