What-the-f$%^ Rice wins

[SMU Football Blog]

I may have to go back and watch that Tulane game again on CSTV total access, because I don't remember the gutsy, determined performance worthy of NFL films complete with commentary and background music that you seen to recall. I remember SMU played like dog dung on both sides of the ball, a point you seem to be agreeing with me on. I think SMU made Tulane look better than they were, even then.

And let's not be revisionist. The Tulane football team was in Dallas just two weeks and had been in Ruston, LA for two weeks before playing SMU.

I remember writing in BIG BOLD HEADLINES "9 sacks and 17 Tackles for Loss." That's domination.

I don't recall saying we were not dominated. I do recall saying SMU played like crap and I do recall saying SMU played flat. A team that isn't very good to begin with, playing like crap and with little energy isn't going to win very many games. Gee. There is a shocker.

I am sorry I am not willing to concede that even if SMU had put forth a good effort, SMU would have been crushed by a team that has only one win over a IA opponent (us). I am not willing to concede that moving twice in a month before playing SMU is less stressful than staying in a dorm in Ruston, LA for two months and losing to Rice.

I don't know why you seem willing to do so.

Somebody please compile an abbreviated form of all of these excuses and number them for easy reference.
