Re: OFFICIAL: SMU vs HOUSTON PREDICTIONS

Gut call...

SMU 42
UH 38

Houston is going to go down by 17 and claw their way back for the rest of the game. Over the last 30 years SMU doesnΓÇÖt handle success well. A couple of bad calls, some poor tackling... we drop this one 45-42. I can easily see all the momentum going against us in the 4th ...

Re: ESPN.com: 6 accept AAC invites

Some thoughts:

1. These additions make me feels as low as the pre-ΓÇ£he who shall not be namedΓÇ¥ days (though people try to keep up with them).

2. If we compare ourselves with Miami for just a moment, The U is a major cultural part of Miami. I havenΓÇÖt lived in Dallas since the ΓÇÿ90s, but SMU ...

Re: Patterson

I havenΓÇÖt posted in... years.

Gary Patterson is a very, very talented coach. He has built TCU, with his own hands, from a middle of the road MWC team into a solid power 5 team. He was willing to change/adapt his personal style of 4 yards and a cloud of dust to a wide open offensive scheme. If ...

Re: Chad Morris Fired

As much as HCCMΓÇÖs departure rubbed me the wrong way, I wished him success. I didnΓÇÖt understand the choice of Arkansas, but thatΓÇÖs neither here nor there. WeΓÇÖve moved on and heΓÇÖs been plowed under. A ton of our guys are still his recruits and weΓÇÖre 9-1. I havenΓÇÖt seen this in my SMU ...

SMU Lacrosse 2019 Conference Tournament

SMU has secured the #1 seed for the North Division of the LSA. They will open their playoff run on April 14th @ 3pm against Texas St. The game will be played at SMU, I assume it will be played on the lacrosse field, but donΓÇÖt know for sure.

The following weekend (4/27 & 4/28) SMU will host the ...

Re: Oh poor Chad Morris

LetΓÇÖs not forget that that LSU ran a ball control offense while Chavis was there. When LSUΓÇÖs offensive line was pounding the other team into submission his defense was resting on the bench. Sumlin and Morris try to play at a much higher tempo, so his guys spend a lot more time on the field.

Re: Chad or Seth?

Just a gut call, I think Littrel might be looking to move a year too late. Last year there seemed to be the more turnover at prime programs than there has been in years. That doesnΓÇÖt mean there wonΓÇÖt be a lot of P-5 vacancies at the end of the season, I just donΓÇÖt think there will be the same ...

Re: Student seating announcement

I wouldnΓÇÖt have wasted these on the student section (and yes, IΓÇÖm more than a little jealous that the students get these). I would have made these for corporate outings. It would bring new people into the stadium and give us a chance to convert them to... marginally interested in SMU.

Re: Ben(ch) Hicks

I do wonder how long the leash is for Hicks...I had flashbacks to the Kyle Padron A&M game when he was the clear cut starter going into the season and then was effectively benched for the remainder of his SMU career a few drives into the game. Hicks was just as bad if not worse on Saturday (against ...

Re: Rhett Lashlee

As far as the Lashlee hire, I actually really love it. Morris created/adapted his offense from Gus Malzahn. This hire can be a solid bridge between Morris' and Dykes' philosophy. In short-term theory this could maximize our current talent while we transition to more of an air raid style - a bridge ...

Re: Rhett Lashlee

Dykes is not being paid the same as Morris.

I'm sort of hoping that he Dykes did a "Charlie Strong". USF has paid Charlie $500k while the Teasips were paying $4.5m (I don't know if that is over now). When/I f the buyout is over, USF bumps his pay to $2.5m. I would love it in the tradition of F*^k ...
