☆ SMU vs. Houston Game Day ☆

Would be surprised if he came on to eat some crow, but then again...he wasn't talking a lot of pre-game smack so I think he is well aware of our recent history with Houston. We do have a tendency to upset them when they come into Dallas ranked in the Top 25

I am so proud of our Mustangs! And I take back my previous comments about Hicks. He was wonderful tonight! And how about our new coach and his staff? I really, really like Sonny!
Go Ponies! Finish out the season as winners! Let's go to a bowl!

What a game. My wife will be happy that I'll be hoarse all day tomorrow.

Hopefully some of the folks who were throwing Sonny under the bus before the season and predicted 4 wins will come on and eat some crow as well .

[Arkpony]

Others have said it but it bears repeating. What a difference a year and new coaches and players can make on our once awful defense. Getting better each week.

I'm hopeful this win just might be an actual turning point in SMU football FINALLY returning to respectability. Hate to diminish what JJ was able to accomplish because he did get us to the AAC Championship game and won 3 bowls games, but never did better than 8-5. I really like Sonny's chances of building this program to a level where we might see 9-10 win seasons within just a few years. Four wins was all I really expected this season. Now I think these guys have a really good shot at making a bowl which I thought would be one heck of an accomplishment for Sonny in his 1st year with the schedule we have played. Still a lot of work to do, but these guys are looking better week after week. Hope we have enough healthy bodies to finish strong because 2 road wins will be tough and that final home game will have very little fan support so not much of a home field advantage.

Wasn’t it a CUSA championship?

Hey it’s great that I’ve been semi wrong about Sonny. I’m still sick we lost to NTCc and couldn’t be competitive with TCU (especially how bad they are now). I’m sick we missed a golden opportunity to be Cincy and look at a sure bowl game but eh. I will say if we didn’t have Kane, this season would be a 2 win season. That defense is truly the expression of night and day difference.

Haven't heard from Cougar King all night. Cant imagine why not. Great win for Sonny & the guys tonight. Very impressed.

What a great win! I for one did not expect it. Now let's go beat UConn

Feels great to be on the winning side of a game like this for a change!

Hicks had a good game. Props to him. No big mistakes. As a 3rd year starter these are the kind of games he should be having consistently.
Freeman gave a big boost to the running game. Glad is healthy again.
Richard Moore is a beast. Overall d is awesome. Like night and day from last uear.
The team is coming together.

He came back before the game with a new name again. Same letters and spouting the same bullsxxx. Don’t remember the latest spelling.

Nice job today...and last week...new team, new coaches and getting injured guys back, it is all coming together...SMU is pretty good! Next year will be exciting. Dykes and the staff getting it done! Congrats!

So battered wife syndrome would suggest we head up to UCON and lose??

I think batter wife means we THINK we will lose. Peruna’s Law would be the reason we would lose.

I was just wondering how many people honestly thought that for a second in the back of their mind.

If the team continues to play like they did for most of the game yesterday they could certainly win out, but there is peruna's law.
