Ex SMU HC Coach Bennett outcoached June BIG time

[ponyboy]

Like clockwork I could have called this very conversation. We should have lost badly to Baylor and we in fact did lose badly to Baylor. You can't have it both ways, predicting gloom and doom on Saturday and then acting surprised on Monday when it actually happened. Top 10 Baylor at home in their new stadium beat SMU. Shocker.

0-12 is absolutely possible this year.

Like clockwork, I could have called your excuses, and justifying another beat down.

[ponyboy]

I'm not justifying a beatdown. Just battling overreaction. We'll go 0-12, haha. No freaking way.

[Mustangs_Maroons]

maybe I'm wrong on this PB, but didn't you call for an SMU victory in the predictions thread?

[ponyboy]

No.

You absolutely are justifying it because it was against big, bad Baylor so we should have lost badly. That's so pathetic. Don't worry about addressing the obvious, that we had 67 yards and we were completely outmatched at every position on the field. Come on, it was Baylor!

I think what you are looking over is that we got 67 yards on 67 plays. I know what you are trying to do but it is not working. We played like a D1AA team not a D1A team in the 7th year of a head coach. Everyone can accept being beaten by a wide margin better if we at least look like we were prepared by a coach who's background is offense.

Again.

La Tech had over 200 yards against #4 OU

D1AA Jacksonville State had over 200 against #8 Michigan State

SMU 67 yards on 67 plays against #10 Baylor

ok, maybe it was the constant beat baylor messages that I saw that led me to believe you actually thought we had a chance. I guess you're in the same boat the rest of us are in that knew we had no chance. More than losing, which I expected, it was the complete lack of preparation that frustrates me the most. He's had a full off-season to preparare for this. Absolutely no excuses for that shameful performance. JJ looked completely lost out there.

Did you predict we wouldn't lose badly against Baylor? If so, you were in a very small minority.

[LA_Mustang]

No, I knew we would, but the way you're coming across is because we knew we would get dominated, we should be okay with it and just move on.

[Mustangs_Maroons]

Ok, PB, - remember your quote from before?

"Baylor goes for two to tie the game with 12 seconds remaining. Yenga knocks the pass out of the receiver's hands. SMU wins."

Why the change in stance now to expecting we would get beaten down like we did?

[ponyboy]

What I'm saying, LA, is that you can't say we suck and Baylor will kill us. And then when Baylor kills us act shocked.

Not shocked, mad.

Oh my gosh, that wasn't a prediction any more than I believed I'd actually become Drew Pearson and won the Super Bowl when I threw passes to myself in my front yard as a kid.
