I hope the SMU players go to the game thinking they can win

I hope June doesn't give the pre-game speech. That guy gives snoozers.

I prefer to think of them as "relaxing."

You don't have to worry about the players, it's a certain coach who probably already has this one "penciled in" as a loss.

Give it a rest. I just hope the players don't read this. We might be the worst fans I've ever been around.

Having seen other boards I think we are pretty tame.

[Charleston Pony]

the players should be going into a game like this with a huge chip on their shoulders, knowing that nobody is giving them any chance of even competing in this game, much less winning...not to mention that most of them were snubbed by Big XII and SEC schools. They should be looking at this game as a huge opportunity for them, but I haven't really heard that in any of the interviews of players or coaches leading up to this one.

Unfortunately they took the same approach they have in the past.

I think we are the most realistic fans around, cause the team has yet to prove us wrong

This team plays with no confidence, and that is half the battle.

[PonySnob]

They've had two weeks to prep for the Aggies, so they should know them pretty well. They need to play with pride.

We were game planning for the first "regular season" in two weeks.......

I agree with this. So far we have only played preseason. We have not seen half of the offense we had last year. Only working on the new stuff now. Hardly any zone read. No delayed hand offs. I expect the playbook to open more with Rutgers. I do not agree with this philosophy but it has been this way since Jones started.

I'd love to see us throw some trick plays in early to try and catch A&M off guard

Onside kicks are popular.

You know a lot of fans who spend a great deal of time and energy following teams who are 100% irrelevant for almost 30 years? That's impressive.
