My prediction was 6-5. I am a sunshiner and pleased the team ended their season on a up note.
The most important development is the emerging self-confidence of the players, who inherited doom and gloom scenarios from many. Let's not forget these players, especially the seniors (soon to be alums). They are real Mustangs, who wear our Red and Blue! They deserve the our support, despite the many disagreements we have over the administration, board of trustees and coaching staff. They are our team and we thank them
Lastly, my only pet peeve is the student body's lack of enthusiasm for SMU football and their fellow classmates.
Phil, his coaches and administration should make a commitment to get the student body into the stadium early, in large numbers, stay late and wear red. Nothing can motivate a team more than the enthusiactic support of the student. In 2006, let's help them by creating an atmosphere of energy and high expectations. The student body can be encouraged and support to do the right thing. Leadership is needed by everyone, including those of us on this Board.
Again, congrats Mustangs and Phil. Well done!
