Hope Darius is healthy and can pick up the system fast, our qb will miss Sanders.

Arkpony wrote:about whether we lose or win the game in Hawaii. This is in contrast to the "Live or Die" attitude I have always felt about SMU football. I think the reason is I am so proud of our Mustangs, and so pleased that we are going to a bowl, finally, that actually winning the game, while nice, and something I certainly hope for, pales in light of what the team has accomplished.

Certainly, next year, and each succeeding year thereafter, when we have become used to going to bowls, I will be back in my old "Win or Die" attitude. But right now, I am in a blissful state of "We have finally arrived"...winning the game is just iceing on the cake.


I believe that you and I share this sentiment right now.... but - I can tell you this, my feelings on gameday will likely be very different.

I'm worried because several of the current year W's could easily have gone the other way. It's true that some of the L's could have as well, but we need to try to put teams away earlier in the game. Another year under their belts could help give our guys that killer mentality along with the knowledge that they can win the games they need to.

But I'd still like a bowl win. Couldn't hurt.

If our defence plays like they did in the first Q at TCU will win them all.

I hope we beat the poop out of whoever we play. No mercy. Run up the score. Pass on 4th down. I want a blowout!

Of course..Once the boys come out on the field at Hawaii, I will fall back into my screaming, foot-stomping self, praying that we beat the stuffing out of our opponent. I was just referring to how I feel now.

We need three NG's for next year to be better than this year.

Or have Marquis F. gain 20 pounds. :twisted:

If we beat TCU next season, I'll be dancing in the streets! TCU will be returning most of their team next year and may even be better than this year. They will be a top-10 team for sure. I'm not holding my breath on that one. Now the year after that. . .hmmmmm

I absolutely want to win the game but as long as we don't get our doors blown off in the bowl game I'll be OK.
Back off Warchild seriously.

The chance of Hawaii beating Wisconsin is slim, although that would be our best option.

If not, bring on Fresno St.
Wolfpack will kill us by 20 pts or more which would not be too fun. They did a nice job against Boise.
