Go Ponies! Shake It Off Moody
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallThe table is set.....if they play they way the have for the last 5 games then we aren't bowling this year. If they play inspired like they were early in the year, SMU could win.
Marshall is tough and ECU at their home is a no way win, if SMU loses to Marshall this week. Its all up to them now and of course the coaches game plan.
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallAs great as Shawnbrey was I like Line better as an all-around player and taking care of business the right way on and off the field. Breakaway ....look at Lines carries for over 20 yards compared to S. We have some depth issues and coaching issues with giving away some games (Navy and WSU last year) and NAvy this year but we can still win the West, even with a loss. Houston and Tulsa still have to play a very good Southern Miss team. Expectations are just higher around the hilltop thank goodness. Until the San Diego State game, TCU had not been behind since the third quarter of the SMU game! We are gonna be good if we keep recruiting and working hard and the fan support builds.
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallThank you...thank you...thank you...no more of the negative post...the past is just that, and no matter how you spin it...we are in the drivers seat. Lets rally behind the boys and stop rehashing the loses. They have the talent, size, heart, desire...did I forget anything? Believing starts with you...fight that urge to want to tear down the mustang nation..."believe, believe, believe that we are going to win this son of a buck." We are fine and we need positive, encouraging statements...we are better then Marshall and ECU...bring on the thundering herd...
I for one am planning on being in Memphis on New Years Eve...now lets take care of business!!!
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallI kind of like to deal with reality rather than fantasy. Seems like it works better in the long run.
One can certainly argue about which back, Line or McNeal, would be more effective. All I am saying is that we were better with both of them at that position than with only one. The LBs are perhaps more talented this year but I believe we miss the leadership and intensity of Kennemer. Hard to tell about the LBs with the secondary as problematic as it is and with the lack of an effective pass rush. The thing I really like about our coaching staff is that I have heard few if any excuses offered by them regarding injuries or talent that has graduated or become ineligible. Different from Bennett. The fact remains, IMO, that if we don't have an effective kicking game and win the turnover battle with Marshall we are probably going to lose and forget about ECU.
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallWe are clearly better at LB this year. Other then that I agree with you - except maybe D-line is equal in my view. Drop off in secondary is dramatic - we went from really good to really poor. That said -I think we are good enough to beat marshall at home - but 13 pts is too high - 7-8 would be about right.
Kicking and secondary are the issues - and if I had to fix just one it would be kicking. We have to stop spotting our opponants half the field every kick off - and also spotting them a touchdown a game on punt returns (as in muffs). That is putting too much pressure on our D. Lets go healing power! Time to take them over to the God quad for some laying on of hands or whatever.
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallI think the opening line is pretty accurate. Marshall isn't all that good, we are playing at home, we've had a week off, I'm driving in for the game and I'm going to be drinking Bus' beer and eating his pulled pork. Need I say more?
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallLet me clarify, I will be eating Bus' cooked pulled pork.
Re: SMU Favored by 13 over MarshallOnly number I'll care about when the 0:00 happens at the end of the game on Saturday is whether it is one point higher on the SMU side of the scoreboard.
Don't worry. Be Happy. Or not.
