[StangEsq]

I am looking forward to next year. Every year I swear the program can do nothing but improve. For about the 4th year in a row we've hit a new all-time low point.

[indianmustang]

no more see ,just we need to give up playing

[PonyExpress83]

Can we just give ourselves the death penalty again.. I am 27 and I have never seen SMU play in a bowl game..I'm wondering if I ever will

[alaska pony]

Did anyone notice any recruits at the game?

[kull]

we found ways to win. when is the last time we had that many turnovers go our way. baby steps.

[SMU 86]

I hope we do not lose any WR's. To many drops by our current crew.

[OR-See-Nee]

I saw a couple tonight. They were leaving at halftime.

[Roach]

We didn't lose anyone. It was one game... and we won.

Saw Chris Parks there. Good size for a CB.

Come on man, if you're getting recruited, and you show up to see SMU squeak by in a very ugly way, hardly outscoring a mid-level DI-AA team even with 5 INTs, you are probably going to be very, very concerned about going to SMU. Put down the koolaide!

or...you might see an opportunity to earn playing time right away as a true FR

[expony18]

went up and said hi to parks and o'guin. they stuck around until the team was in the locker room. parks has a good frame for a d-1 DB. o'guin was a little shorter then i had pictured

lol, we've been this bad forever. They know the deal. I'm pretty sure our recruits weren't expecting USC to trot out.

It all comes down to who else is offering you.

We have few guys getting B12 offers. So I bet we lose few recruits because they know we are terrible, don't draw a crowd, have a huge amount of work to get to simply decent, all the NFL coaches in the world - apparently - can't coach up the talent currently residing on the Hilltop.

They are coming to SMU probably because either:
1. There other offers are inferior or non existent.
2. Educational opportunity is better
3. There is hope for a turnaround under JJ and his staff
4. Can play near friends and family.

The fact that we stunk on Saturday was undoubtedly a disappointment but probably didn't deter them from still coming.
