Montana State played one heck of a game. The Bobcats deserve plenty of credit. SMU does not. While it was a ‘thrilling’ 31-30 win, SMU should not be in a position to lose to an FCS team in year six of the June Jones era. It’s clear the Mustangs have plateaued under Jones, and SMU should strongly consider looking elsewhere when his contract expires if not sooner if it ever wants to take the next step.

Holland also writes (Gilbert) passed for 317 yards and a td and should (sic) toughness... Some reporter who can't compose a proper sentence is telling SMU what to do?

Need more of this, we get way too much ignorance and condescension in our meager media coverage.

Spot on EJ. Nice to see someone say it publicly. Neal Faulkner's comment is hilarious.

Really? Someone in the media actually hits the nail on the head saying what a lot of us already know, and you comment on his grammar? Please.....

He needs to keep his opinions to his little site.

"Should toughness"? Really? I'm sure the DMN is proud.

If this is the case, then June apologist should keep their opinions quiet too.

What I think is funny is E.J. is best most accurate commentator on any SMU site-yet he picked us to beat Tech while Sam at Rivals has been relentlessly blowing kisses and sunshine everywhere and he picks us to lose by 20 to Tech. Its really hard to read any SMU board in the preseason when everybody has the August flu and obviously is suffering from delusions. But the good news is that Sam gave everybody A+ on our last recruiting class of super 2 star sleepers

I think EJ's team makes some very good observations in the practice reports. I enjoy hearing that.

Unfortunately, I also know for a fact that he takes quotes out of context just to stir things up. So that sometimes makes me wonder when he reports on negative things at practice if he is overemphasizing it to stir up conversation or if it is accurate.

+ 1

E.J.'s relentless anti JJ campaign is not helping the general public's perception of SMU football. He's made his point....now I wish he would shut the f--- up and get back to reporting !!!!
