Rice coach David Bailiff on SMU
Rice coach does his press conferences on Mondays.
On what stands out about SMU
"SMU is a good football team. Their quarterback is really amazing. They've got a lot of seniors on offense. And just the athleticism. Those kids are still playing hard they aren't going to quit."
On playing at SMU
"I think this is going to be one of the weeks where these guys come over here and they know what we're capable of. Even the young players on defense now, they're not young players anymore. Even the two freshmen defensive ends played 80 snaps a piece last game. The week before they played 72 snaps. Those guys have turned into hardened defensive players. I think they're finally seeing that when we do things together anything is possible. I think we've played hard every week, but sometimes when we've made mistakes you see guys worrying about the next play and they're still down. I think we have the ability now and the maturity to get past that."

Based on your rationale, we wouldn't want Lou Holtz either.
That's just coach-speak. C'mon B...you know that.

You mean coaches really say things like that?

I don't recognize coach-speak unless they use the word microcosm.

Huh? We have what? 4 Seniors starting now? How is that a "lot" by any stretch? I mean, even if you count Zack as two players, that's not a lot.

Don't say that around bigdaddy...he'll short-circuit. He has a thing with words. He tries to avoid ones with more than two syllables.

Damn right I do. I different than most of you, not that smart. What does microcosm mean anyway? Is this a mesage board or Websters. No wonder we suck!

Makes perfect sense. Our football team sucks because our fans use big words on their message board. Clearly a causal relationship.
It's a crappy job but someone's gotta do it.
