Amen. Watch the video of the last time we played them. Night and Day.

HUBBA HUBBA on that observation. Best tackling in since we ceased football operations.

Agreed - I don't really remember any missed tackles. They earned what they got.

Agreed. This so reminded me of the glory days of Mustang football (Mustang Express days) when you didn't leave before the end of the game. Back then, fans didn't get discouraged or give up b/c we had faith in what our team could--and did--do. You could see on Tuberville's face that he knew he was lucky to get a win. I feel we are in for some fun times again and those of you who were in school during the DP era, I hope you get to experience the fun of SMU football!
