Memphis played themselves and lost 24-14? Now that is bad and gives me hope for Saturday!

Memphis meltdown in 2015 came after losing to Navy as well.

I gotta stop starting these threads before I've had coffee.

Gotta have this one to start hoping for 6 wins and a bowl game. While I like our match-up against them and the fact that they are ebbing as we are rising, I think a big factor for this game will be how healthy we can get our guys....HCCM talked a lot about how beat up we were during his post-game presser. I'm specifically worried about the O-Line as they looked worse in the 2nd half against Tulane.

I will hold my prediction until I see what uniform we will be wearing. It's worked most games (tcu game was the exception) this year actually. I fear we will break out reds again since Memphis is blue and we are home. We play terrible in those things.

[smusic 00]

I'm guessing we see the lone star helmets again this week.

[smusic 00]

This will be a tight game. SMU wins 27-24

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Saturday will be fun! GO PONIES!!!!!

[Pony Boss]

It will be a hard fought one but I see the ponies winning.

[SMUstang07]

I foresee at least a 50 pt turnaround vs. last year

[ojaipony]

Hope our guys come to play. Anyone have an injury update?

[EastStang]

Depends on if I get to drink on the Blvd before the game. if not, we lose because I'll be sober.

I believe I picked Memphis by about 17 pre-season. Although I still think they have the talent edge, I want to believe we will find a way. Stallion made a comment following the U of H win that "every week becomes the next big game" or some such. Well, this is that week, and Memphis is that game.

Just win, Baby...channeling my inner Al Davis..
