At least four of our five losses will be to teams in the Top 25.

I don't know if there is any positives in that considering the team got jacked up by BAD UNT team by 37 points.

Mason did say that he was glad to be through playing Big 12 teams so I imagine the team will play better this week.

Mason saying he is glad to be done with playing big 12 teams makes you think the team will play better? Why is that?

I would think he is implying that he will now see lesser talented teams that SMU has a better chance at doing better.

I understand what he meant.

Your post said that because he said he is happy to be done with the Big 12, you think the team will play better. My question is why him saying that makes you think the team will play better? If he had not said it would you not think the team would play better?

Take ECU. End of discussion.

Wow, if you count TCU we've played/will play 4 ranked opponents in our first 5 games, including 2 top-10 teams. On the plus side, I guess no one can ding the football team for strength of schedule. Take that basketball program!!!!!!!
