Knew it as soon as the whistle blew in the UH loss. Wrong time for a second half collapse. That half kept SMU out of the NCAA tournament. That said, there is no way I see this team being motivated and focused enough to make an NIT run.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Motivation for next year, when we have a legitimate title shot?

We do not have a title shot next year.

Yup. Still bitter.

This is definitely not a good thread to start. Almost like pouring salt in a wound.


Yeah, this just might be a "too soon" thread. I get that. Interesting, though, how character is being revealed by disappointment on this board. I hope the frustration on the team results in a deep NIT run, if not win out - with that much more of a chip on the shoulder for next year no matter what.
Don't worry. Be Happy. Or not.

Wow, you guys need a sense of humor,

Troll? Hater?

How about SMU fan, and to be one, you need a sense of humor. You younger posters need to realize, you give the NCAA a chance to screw SMU, they will. Our fault, we have to be better. By losing to Houston we gave them a reason to screw us, and they did it.

No Surprise.

It is what it is. Don't hate because I called it. I said we beat Houston we are in, we Lose, Hello NIT.

Let's just go kick [deleted] and fill Moody for the NIT.

Go Ponies!

I bet shadowman threw a party once we got snubbed. He's just giddy with glee. Pathetic and typical of the loser mentality that unfortunately makes up a lot of our fanbase.

Damn,

Were you at my house? Did you see me dance with glee when we got snubbed?

Have a sense of humor, you should really just relax. I bleed SMU, but when we lost to Houston, I knew we would not make it. I will be at Moody on Wednesday cheering my [deleted] off.

Don't hate. Just relax. And BTW I am really tired of seeing Herman as an avatar!, but I will just relax.

We did not deserve to be in, you are mid 50s RPI with our SOS and lose to Houston in the conference tourney, that has NIT written all over it.

Now we are where we belong, let's go win the NIT.

No one listened when I called to fire June 4 years ago, no one listened when I said we would miss the tourney.....Just sayin....

Go Ponies!!!! Win the NIT!!!!!!!!!!


You are an idiot. "Go Ponies" and "We belong in the NIT" are bannable offenses. Be gone from these boards, Troll!

You are funny, call me an a-hole, call me an SOB, but don't call me a troll, I bleed SMU and obviously have a better handle on the situation than you do.

I am happy to be in the NIT and look forward to the game on Wednesday. I will call you inexperienced, overzealous, unrealistic....but I will not call you a troll....

We should have a sense of humor after getting snubbed? Sometimes silence is golden.

Being in the NIT is a disgrace. I would have rejected the bid and start practicing for next year's national championship run. Best thing is a chip on our shoulder.

Disgrace is pretty harsh. The NIT selection committee saw it fit to make us a number 1 seed. Maybe we should just pout though about the NCAAs and go home?

See, if you were me, you knew we were not gonna make the big dance and you would look forward to the NIT selection show.

Larry may take your advice, but I bet he wont.
