i think this is a must win if we are going to take it to the next level. we simply cannot lose this game. it would be disastrous.
if we go into the tcu game at 2-1 we are looking good and no doubt will sell out ford.
we can beat beat both uab and wsu.
i'm not at the point where i consider any game a foregone conclusion. this uab game worries me. we seem to always struggle against teams when we are favored to win.

To me the expectation this year is still 6-6. Anything more is gravy and therefore this game is not vital. I still think we win, however.

If SMU is what we believe it to be and what believe it will be in the future, it will win the game. If SMU loses, we may need to reexamine.
Win the F'ing game.

Must win or not you have to learn to win at home and try to steal wins on the road. This is our stadium, and in order to show we have learned to win, this is a vital game.

If our goal is conference champs, then this is a must win.
We are favored and at home. We need to establish that we win at home especially when favored.
We have a short week. Somewhat of a disadvantage we need to prove we can overcome.
This may be our 'easiest' home game for conference play.
We need to build confidence and momentum.
WE lose and 'stealing' a game down the road becomes a much more daunting task.

Im going to call this a SHOULD WIN (if we think we have conference championship aspirations this is one you have to have)

This is winnable and we will win.....'we always seen to struggle against teams when we are favored to win'????....not very often have we been favored to win.....as in when recently?....only Stephen F last year right?.....

Nacho you are correct.
We need to be 2-2 after 4....if we want to do anything this year.
2-2 after 4 is pretty much right on schedule for 6-6 or 7-5
1-3 after 4 is dicey at best...and the pressure will be on.
