As long as we win and no one gets injured, I'm fine with this.

I don't think we've ever played these guys and I don't know anything about them except that they play in the Southland and were competitive with Houston Christian last year, a team we beat 59-7 and for the most part worked on our running game but also gave Jennings a lot of playing time.

I expect this to be a game where all of our RBs get carries, both Jennings and Hawkins get time to spread the ball around to multiple receivers and we win easily but I will go with 55-10 as some drives stall (giving Rogers a couple of FGs) and our 2nd team D gives up a TD. Announced crowd will be 31,450 but probably about 28,000 will actually come out to watch. The crowd on The Boulevard will make it feel like a sellout but as usual several "fans" are just there for the pre-game party.

51-10 Ponies.
31K announced...26K+ fannies in seats..,
We stay reasonably healthy through the game, Defense plays LOTS of folks, ETSU gets a field goal on a turnover, and a TD from another.

We run the ball...a lot. We pass the ball and hit two TDs in the first half on big plays....thinking 31-3 at half.

Subs and walk ons continue to play hard and score in the 4th quarter.

Baylor fans are crying walking to the parking lot...Texas fans are coming unhinged Saturday night because "The Refs cheated us...we threw more cups and nothing happened"...and Miami exposes ND.

(the above is my opinion of an enjoyable weekend...and not intended for betting purposes)

You just talked me into cheering for an SEC team (not the Whorns).

I have been doing these attendance predictions and score predictions in separate threads for years. Both threads would have well over a thousand views, not to mention many comments. Last year was so weak, that I combined the two threads. I just took a look at this week's thread and was shocked, only 9 comments through the whole week and now it's game day? I do it for Nostalgia sake, but I'll be doing a coin flip, to see if I even need to waste my time anymore.

If not here, where is the best SMU posting site?

[Charleston Pony]

Not a lot of enthusiasm for this opponent? Hope it doesn't mean a 20k "crowd" tonight

[Arkpony]

It will be wet and SMU fans dot respond well to wet.

The line is 49.5. Sorry, but I’m taking the Fighting Farmers and Mechanics to cover.
