Do we beat Tulsa or Houston?

Postby fan » Sat Nov 04, 2006 11:03 pm

In all honesty we're gonna be lucky to win any of our last 3 games. I'd love to be proved wrong and win the c-usa west but if this does not happen I have a question. Against whom do you think we match up best?
My opinion is Tulsa. We've proven we have a tough time against the pass. I see the Houston game as very similar to the ECU game. Watching Tulsa this season I don't see a ton of great athletes and think we match up a bit better against them.

Thoughts?

How's this for a gut feeling?

We beat Houston, beat Tulsa and lost to Rice. I don't know why -- I just see it.

Oh yeah, then we kick some team's collective [deleted] in a bowl game!

I said at the start of the season that we'd beat EITHER Tulsa or Houston then lose to Rice. Seems kind of prophetic now. 6-6 and POINSETTIA BOWL bound.

We can't even get 500 Mustang fans to go to an SMU-TCU game at Amon Carter and after the bowl reps saw Ford Stadium when we played UAB they're certainly thinking, "Gawd, I hope we don't have to take SMU." It would probably take the Mustang Club 5 years to make up the deficit of us playing in a bowl game. However, I'll be there... whenever and wherever.

I really think Tulsa is going to wax us dude.

I say we beat Houston and lose to Tulsa and Rice.

Granted yesterday was the only game I have seen Tulsa play, bu they scare me the least out of our final 3 games.

we'll beat houston by a thread, crush tulsa, and some how squeak by rice. hopefully we'll play marshall in the c-usa championship and beat them in our house, then go to the liberty bowl and beat georgia. then stafford will transfer to smu and not get any playing time

No need for name calling, it was simply a joke. I have plenty of confidence in this team. I think we have great potential to win out.

In the current BCS poll Tulsa is ranked #32 and Houston is #35 (according to SI.com). This could do wonders for national respect as well as our C-USA championship hopes if we win both of these games.

SMU football will not lose again this year. We will host the CUSA championship in front of 32,000 at Ford and will bring 15,000 fans to Memphis to watch the Ponies whip Georgia and Matt Stafford...or maybe Kentucky. No stopping us now.
