june has said we must win our conference home games. this is one. we must win it if we are going to be conference champs.

It is not a must win to be conference champs. We would be tied and could win out. Houston will lose another. That said it is a must win in establishing the belief and mind set that our field means our win. Change of mind set has been as important in our turn around as our level of athlete and we must continue to pound that into the heads of our kids.

we have a lot of very important recruits at this game that we need to impress also.

Would be huge. UTEP has lost 2. We lose to UH and Utep wins out and beats us, they win the west. We need to win to have total control. Big game.

This is a must-win game, with a win SMU would have a stranglehold on the West giving them considerable leeway going forward because they would have a 2 game lead in the division plus the tiebreaker over Houston and Tulsa, plus it's unlikely that Houston, Tulsa or UTEP would run the table the rest of the way meaning they would all end the season with at least 3 conference losses (no C-USA team has ever won a division with more than 2 conference losses).

That's Vince Lombardi type stuff Mrydel.

This is, in my opinion, the most important need for the win. This can close the deal on some undecideds abd insure the deal for others.

It is a MUST win

abd insure
did you go off into some kind of speaking in tongues?

we must win. we will win. the men have girded their loins and put on the breastplate of righteousness. all is right with the world. we will prevail.

I am very consistant in hitting the B instead of the N when using the word "and" when pecking on my iPhone. Sorry I confused you.

Staggering stat (at least to me) from the Houston paper said we are 7-1 in CUSA since we lost to UH last year. That would make us undefeated against CUSA West teams.

We're also 6-0 at home versus C-USA opponents since the beginning of last season.

Isn't every game a "must" win, at least for someone?

No losing, I can't take it. I need to get a life.

We must win, because if the Rangers somehow loose tomorrow I'm going to need something to balance out the sadness.
