No, you weren't losing, the team was losing. What is he suppose to do, cry after a sack/incompletion. Those tears have been shed and he doesn't have anymore tears to cry, and you shouldn't either after 20 years of sacks and incompletions. He continued to compete at the highest level possible. 19-33-351 and 3 TD's. Damn man, find something worth complaining about. How about the number of fans we have or better, the number of fans we don't have.

See, this is exactly why SMU needs a reality TV show. No more tears left to cry?!? "All he can do now is merely shoulder the weight of another game lost and smile, but at least he knows his dignity is still intact". Compelling...

Big Daddy, I'm just old school and don't believe you show up your opponent until you have something to show them up for, like beating them! I like his enthusiasm and youthful exuberance, and that he gets upset when he makes a bad play or with the coaches playcalling, and takes responsibility when he throws a bad pass like the one throw to Sanders.

What I did't like is when your team is 1-7, you make a nice TD run, and then gesture to the opposing fans........It's OK to get excited, but I believe you show them up on the scoreboard, not on the field.....and obviously the Houston fans got the last laugh since their team won. In my opinion, he just needs to stay focused on the game and he will gain more respect, even with opposing team fans, if he acts like he's done it before!

Again, I love his passion for the game and his attitude, I just wish he'd tone it down a bit on the field and become the leader he can be, and I think with a new coach, he will.

No, "we" were losing. Alums like Eaststang and me and others have something invested in this program that interlopers like you will never have. That's why you have no idea as to the level of frustration we feel, and accordingly no empathy. But feel free to go ahead and tell us what's wrong with our program, from the outside, where you will always be.

Act like you've been there before, is one of my favorite coach sayings. So true. I can sympahize.

JWill is not responsible for the playcalling! The ball to Sanders hit him in the hands. If you are old school you should know if it hits your hands, you should catch it. JWill will not be perfect on every pass, why cry about it? Line up and play the next play. We need to get excited about every positive thing we do. There have not been many! How can you tone down football? You sound like the assistant coach at UNT. We can get drunk and act a fool tailgating on the B and in the stands, but the people that actually play the game must remain mum. His job is to lead, and by God he was doing the best he could with what he has to work with! UH football team did not appear to be bothered by his so-called antics, so why are you, really? Dig deap to answer this one?

I wish I could tell you who I really am? I have more invested in this program than what you think/know. Call me what you want. I don't know how to respond to interloper. What does that mean? I hope you invest some money, because the program could use it to attract some athletes. Can't beat them, join them. I do respect your frustration/anger, but please direct it to the difference makers. These players could care less about alums, and obviously visa versa.

I get it now! You're in the witness protection program, right? That's why the veil of secrecy. :roll:

Didn't he threaten to transfer if Bennet was fired? Will he hold true to his statement and take his turnovers elsewhere.

I'm sure he's been told at least a thousand times to protect the ball-goes in one ear and out the other. Justin Willis Too Cool For School. Just keep smilin' and turning the ball over-what's so damn funny about fumbling 15 times a year.


I was thinking that most coaches would have sat him down after the 2nd fumble. I was surprised we didn't see Rhodes for a series ot two at that point.

You do not have a clue! The source was wrong anyway. Fran is coming?
