good one, Nicky. When you're flustered by the truth or have nothing of substance to say, its always convenient to go with low brow bathroom insults. As for slobbering all over someone, the slobbering by the ponyfans masses has been over JJ and BLM for some time now. Don't forget, the king is dead, long live the king.

Real classy dude. Go back to your blow party.

Not concerned about the INT's he threw on Sat, more concerned about only throwing one TD. I am a glass half full kinda guy, so take it for what its worth, but I think the O does better on Sat.

As an SMU football fan of the last several years, I am more of an either glass half full or empty, just means it needs more liquor....

i dont think Mitchell played as well as he should of however, the were about 6 to 8 balls that hit the recivers hands and caused 3 and outs and we all forget that long pass bo threw to AR when he was wide open and he didnt even look up for the ball that would of gave mitchell another 65 - 70 yrds a TD and alot of momentum for SMU and rythem for our offense. he did make a couple of mistakes but im not too worried JJ wont fix 'em by next week. we were just a couple catches away from blowing out SFA

[Stallion]

In this offense its not good enough to "get the ball to the receiver". Yes they should have caught some more but on many passes Yards after catch were not likely after poor throws. That's what make this offense go. He was wildly inaccurate-high, low, behind and too far. Again as I said Saturday Nite I going to assume he had the flu and hope it was an aberration-but we aren't going to win a game if he performs that poorly again.

Bo Levi was off...no question about that. We saw him throw better last year. I have concerns about this sore elbow thing, but let's see how he looks this week.

As for those who still think JW should be "the guy"...give it up already. Not in this offense. He was never a pure passer. He won games with his feet moreso than his arm. Had we hired Paul Johnson and run his option, I feel reasonably certain JW would have been the guy and would have been good ih that offense. I think we would have won more games last year under Johnson with JW at QB, but we are headed another direction and it's going to take a few years to see what Jones can build her. Like it or not, we are on a 5 year plan, folks.

[PlanoStang]

We have been on 5 year plans for 20 years now We NEED RESULTS NOW

JJ will retire rich in 4 years, and we will be stuck in this HORRIBLE sine wave FOREVER



Peak of the wave is 6 wins so far The low zero.

I really do not think Orsini or the boosters who hired him thought they were signing up for a 5 year+ reconstruction plan with JJ. That wasn't the mindset at the time at all. Everyone thought JJ was a great coach who could do more with less. Not a long term program builder. If Orsini thought we needed a complete rebuild, he should have hired a younger coach. Now maybe orsini didn't understand the talent level and JJ had to find it out, but if thats the case, shame on Orsini, he is supposedly a football guy. If JJ has to retool the entire team to run his offense, then he was a flat out a bad hire for SMU under the circumstances. SMU needed to do something sooner than later. Lets not revise history.

I am pretty sure that the COChampions understood that it wasn't going to happen overnight...Most have made fortunes the hard way...

You are probably right, maybe there is a BCS d-coordinator out there who teach June how to rebuild a program. I hear the PITT D is pretty good, maybe that guy is interested...

[Hoop Fan]

laughable. the hard way, huh? You act like the Circle of Champions is some formal body with some actual insight and clarity of where we stood as a program and what it was going to take to win. what a joke. These are the same guys that have been power brokers at SMU and on the Board of Trustees etc for years. Sorry, although I have always been a big Gerald Turner fan, the leadership of this school has pretty much proven without doubt that it has no clear idea how to turn the athletic department in the right direction and hiring JJ was more of an act of desperation as opposed to a grand plan.

[mrydel]

Big difference in hiring Jones and hiring a lesser level coach. Jones was able to demand a change in admissions. When Bennett was hired, he was happy to get the job and knew the limitations in which he had to work. He, along with Cavan, Rossley, Gregg, all had to abide by constraining admission standards. A coach of reputation such as Jones was able to make recommendations and demands, which I am sure he did prior to accepting the job. In either case I am sure that a quick fix was not expected. But with Jones a fix is possible whereas with the others it was not.

[NickSMU17]

Actually hiring JJ is what should have been done 20 years ago, but better late then never.

Things take time and we will get there, albeit without the help of the great masterful Justin Willis and our [deleted] never proven anything 2 million a year coach.

Am I speaking you language now HoopFan?
