I liked the lead in to the article...

"An NFL scout told me three weeks ago that SMU is better than Baylor. I didn't believe him. Stupid me. The Ponies are legit, but the Horned Frogs are the class of Texas." (minus the bit about the horned frogs)

I dont think we are better than Tech. I also think Tech is better than the Aggies. Lets see how the class of Texas does when they graduate all those Seniors and have to play with sophomores like we do.

I disagree. If we play tech this week, we win. We hadn't hit our stride yet when we played them
Those who complain about a problem are simply wasting time they could use to fix it.

Ahhhh...our good friend Mac Engel. You love him when he says good thing about us and hate him when he doesn't. I'm not sure he knows what he is talking about...but I'll go with him this week. :wink: Other than Oregan State, I think we gave the frogs a better game than anyone else. So that is worth some good points. Right? 8)
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

PK, I still hate him when he says good things about us.

Maybe just 9 people- Mac Engel and the eight of us.

Maybe SMU is earning his respect...I dunno.
Nice change in his tune compared to a few weeks ago.

He is only talking us up because he wants to help TCU's strength of schedule. If he could justify it we would be number 10.

He did not know what he was talking about earlier when he made derogatory remarks about SMU and he does not know what he is talking about now. SMU is not the third best team in Texas. Maybe next year.

I fixed it for you. He is here simply to keep house and have dinner ready for "the little ball of hate".

And no! He is not a friend of ours. He and she can't wait for us to stumble so they can go back to writing about the Big Joke.

I completely agree. We spotted them 14-21 points, and our offense played like crap. We would beat Tech if we played them again this season.
