New season - CUSA

Postby Charleston Pony » Sun Sep 23, 2007 2:06 pm

I was encouraged by what seemed like an improved defensive effort last night. I hope it wasn't just that TCU has the worst offense we've seen so far this year. That might be the case, but I doubt we will come up against a defense as tough as theirs.

Wipe the slate clean. Are these guys good enough to go 5-3 in CUSA play? Will probably require winning them all at Ford and UCF is looking like they will commpete for the CUSA title this year, so that will be a tall order. Don't know if this team is good enough to win on the road, but they will have to pull at least one and possibly 2 road wins to get those 6 wins. Guess it won't matter if we can't win this next one.

Good luck, guys. Get it started this week vs UTEP

Six didn't get a bowl last year. Probably need 6-2 in conference.

We have 6 bowls tie-ins this year (Hawaii, Liberty, GMAC, R+L Carriers, Texas, Papajohns.com). We would get a bowl with 6 wins this year. There were only 5 bowl tie-ins last year, so it was a little harder.

I would believe so. I don't think the university can afford the bad publicity it would receive for firing the first coach in 23 years to get SMU to a bowl game (much less win it).

SMU won't have to worry about 'firing' PB because he will resign whether he makes it to a bowl or not.

I am not selling SMU's items on ebay. I am selling MY items - some with SMU branding - on ebay. And for someone with an SMU education, you should have learned that "it's" is a contraction of the words "it" and "is", not possessive. ;)
