Finally...we have power back...Some Observations...

Postby OC Mustang » Mon Sep 15, 2008 9:43 am

After the fact observations since we had no power until late last night. Ike worked us over real well; I can only imagine what it did to SE Texas.

1) This board banter truly doesn't matter, but it's a nice break from reality.
2) Tech was a loss in any conceivable scenario. Next.
3) SMU either leaves September 2-2 or 1-3. Normal September.
4) Jones is a great coach; albeit, he isn't perfect. Stills needs flexibility.
5) Recruiting is easier w/ winning record; recruiting budgets won't fix that.
6) If BLM was going to be thrown to wolves, this was game to do it.
7) Beat TCU.

How are we going to leave September 2-2 or 1-3 when we will have played 5 games through the end of September?

Did you figure that out all by yourself?

No, he probably just looked at a schedule.

We play 4 games in September. We may be 1-4 by the end of September. I think we will be 2-3. I have said it before. The Tulane game is the one I am looking at as an indication of where we are going this year.

Not really. I think you used an abacus.

Haven't slept enough...sorry, you are right.
5 games...missed Tulane.

Doesn't change my sentiment.

Or the fact that an abacus wouldn't help me. :oops:
