Official: SMU at Memphis Thread

[PonySnob]

Does at least one player from every team make all-conference?

I believe #4 fit memphis in at RB is an umpa-loompa.

After 20+ years of this, I don't expect much anymore. I'm not angry... I'm tired. I don't know what to even think anymore. I respect the job that Coach Morris is doing and I know he is staring at a very uphill battle. BUT, But, but... With each humiliation, on the field and with the NCAA, I seriously contemplate whether SMU will ever get off the doormat. At what point is it OK to say enough is enough. At what point is it OK to run away and buy a [insert college name here] baseball cap, leaving this pain & misery behind.

If anyone has the heart for it, please try talking me off the ledge/bourbon barrel.

Morris is going to get this program right. I didn't expect much this season and I actually got less than I bargained for. But the suffering today pays dividends when we win later on.

Thank you coach Fuente for taking it easy on us in the second half

[Puckhead48E]

7 yards of total offense. WTF.

Pay attention would be a start. There needs to be leadership. It is not enough to bring in deep pockets to pay the bills, there needs to be a sense of accountability. I see no evidence that CM is going to be treated any differently than JJ was. If he does the job that's great, but we all believe that he will not be here for the long haul, so if our AD doesn't learn from its mistakes then we are doomed to repeat.

You really didn't say anything comprehensible-sound like a Soccer fan trying to make sense of something you don't understand

,
Let me spell it out for you. You Stallion, more than most, complained about the lack of quality recruits coming in the JJ era, particularly 2011 forward. Are we to accept that it is OK that the AD did not notice this? And, as the AD knew more than most, JJ wanted out in 2011. It had not gone the way he thought it would. Is it OK that the AD did nothing to ensure that this desire to leave would not adversely impact the program?

On another level, JJ had made a habit out of bringing in coaches that did not appear to be great fits for what was needed or to perform well when they arrived. But the AD continued to authorize the hires and appear to have taken zero steps to alter the JJ approach to recruiting. This approach, it must be remembered, was exactly the approach to recruiting that JJ talked about when he arrived. The AD sat back and watched this approach fail to work. It was clear in 2013 that GG was papering over a LOT of cracks but instead of moving to remove JJ, the AD convinced JJ to stay. Our AD has shown itself to be utterly unable to manage situations for the betterment of the program. There were serious problems amongst the coaching staff, most notably Reinbold and Klemm, and again the AD appears to have done nothing. There has NEVER been a statement out of the AD to suggest that standards were not high enough. There is no leadership.

The only spine in the athletic department is on the COC checkbook.[/quote]


What should the AD have done? Hired JJ coaches for him? Remember JasonB, yourself, and Ponyboy liked JJ hires and recruiting.

its very unlikely we go to a Bowl Game next year-a massive turnover is about to happen on Defense

Unfortunately I have come to the same conclusion.

Which further makes me question MDavis' role next season.

Play Moore and/or Hicks.

5 of Davis' worst games have come in last 6 games

Can't wait to hear Morris in the post game interview

You've endured for 20+ years, what's another two? If Chad doesn't get it fixed (and he absolutely will) then you can always quit later.

Let's blame Coach Malone for that TD as well that the offense just gave up.
