Greatest moment for SMU Mustangs in over 20 years?

Postby MustangsFan » Sat Nov 14, 2009 7:33 pm

1st place in the conference, looking for our first winning record since 1997 and first bowl game since 1984, and we have a bunch of young guys... Man this is awesome.

without question-beats the hell out of upseting TCU. That was a nice momment-this is a turning point

Thing is, we've had 6 wins before, so I want one more.

Personally, I enjoyed this win more than any other since beating Connecticut. Beating TCU was a big win at the time, but it didn't lead to anything. This win puts us on the cusp of something we haven't seen in 25 years.

Agreed! To me the team is still 5-4 (1 was against an FCS team) and to surpass the 1997 team, we need to win at least 1 more!!!

1997 and 2 years ago actually were non losing seasons. We need one more for the first winning season in 25 years.

I thought we were 6-5 in 1997?

Agree. Upsetting TCU was fun, if only because of the promise of what was to come at that time. But I'll take 6-4 right now over anything that has happened post DP. Now let's go win CUSA.

WOW :!: These guys are really learning how to WIN :!: :!: :!: :!:

I think the cutoff point is about October 1st. Win against UCONN in 89 was major league :!:
Especially since we were predicted to win against NOBODY for about 2 years at a
minimum :!:

Is June just talking or is a game in Hawaii on the schedule now :?: :?: :?: :?:
May the forth be with us.
