Re: 19 Mustangs Earn All-ACC Accolades

I agree that SMU has not ΓÇÿearnedΓÇÖ the type of respect other ACC teams hold. However, we put a good number of players in the All-Conference Awards. I am particularly happy for our offensive line. Four SMU linemen were mentioned for ALL-Conference: one on the second team, two third team, and one ...

Re: Thoughts on the Pitt game

I just want to recognize ace Collin Rogers. He has been 'ace' all season.

Re: Thoughts on the Duke game

IΓÇÖve hesitated to comment about Brashard SmithΓÇÖs overtime 24-yard run because he deserves all the accolades he's received. However, it is important to mention the offensive line made a hole Brashard could have driven a car through. With his great speed, Brashard ran to the endzone virtually ...

Re: Thoughts on the Stanford game

In his latest comments, broadcaster Billy Embody seemed to feel like some of us (perhaps I was one) were too picky on the OL in the Standford game. Yes, the game was essentially over after the first quarter. Nonetheless, the OL was not playing at their accustomed game level even though they were ...

Re: Thoughts on the Stanford game

As for the OL, I too was surprised and disappointed, particularly on pass blocking. This game reminded me of the pass protection in the Nevada and BYU games. The line was better with the running game. Of course, there are times when you just have an off-game. I wondered if the traveling distance ...

Re: My goodness, somehow theyΓÇÖre still arrogant

Locked On ACC had some good thoughts on the SMU vs FSU game, plus some other interesting notes about CFP bids at the end of the season.

SMU's Offensive Line in the FSU Game

When I returned home from the FSU game last night I had to sit down and watch the ESPN replay. IΓÇÖve got to brag about our offensive line. For personal reasons, I most closely watch them. We've all heard how tough FSUΓÇÖs defensive line is, so I expected the SMU line to be pushed around some and ...

Re: OFFICIAL: SMU-Florida State Predictions

Besides the excellent On The Pony Express videos...
There are a couple of other shows I have watched regarding the SMU vs FSU game. One has Billy Embody guesting on College Football Addiction.

The other is 1010XL: Seminoles.

Re: Thoughts on the Nevada Game

Agreed about 'On the Pony Express' with Billy Embody. It is highly informative. For a broader look at the entire ACC let me suggest the 'Locked on ACC podcast'.

Re: Yes we sucked. But...

How unusual to see Florida State at the bottom and SMU tied for first.

Re: Hard Fought Victory

Obviously, there were glaring mistakes (as one might expect) in the first game. However, SMU made much more than Nevada did. Plus, the players were expecting an easy game - just like us fans did. I expect those mistakes to be quickly worked out. However, I do have other concerns.

Re: 1963 Remember this?

BTW, John Roderick of SMU was the speedster track star discussed in an earlier post. He was a surprise for NAVY as he was on the track team and was talked into playing wide receiver, not a running back. I was one of the fortunate Mustang fans at the game and the stands went wild. Great game - one of ...

Yes. The theater was sponsored by Humble Oil (Exon today). I was a kid, but I LOVED it! You could watch SWC football for hours.

Re: ASU

Froggie is a troll. He most likely is a kid or a TCU college student. He is blowing smoke. Just let him boast and forget it. He knows nothing. Again, he is only a troll. Do you think for one moment TCU wants SMU in the Big-12? I didn't buy it. He's a TROLL!!!
