Givens, since Sledge is graduating.


I do not think Sledge will graduate before Saturday, and Cory will be available to paly next year.

But I do recall someone saying Mapps was a HS QB and he may be in the rotation also.


Sorry, I surely thought they were discussing QB's for next season. If JWill can't go Saturday, we will run the wing-t. We don't have any other QB's ready to play. This is not HS football. Learning a college offense is so much different. Please do not push these back-ups into a situation that will be get somebody killed.


I think Zach Rhodes is a big enough boy to handle it Saturday if Willis can not go. He was able to play last Staurday, why do you think he can not this Saturday.

I agree, Rhodes may not be the brightest bulb in the box (that's hearsay but I trust the source lol), but he'll be fine for a game. After Rhodes though, there's no way we should burn a redshirt for the sake of one meaningless game. We've already torched way too many this year.

If a redshirt is burned on anyone this Saturday, the coach should be fired.

More to the point, the coach should get kicked in the nutts.

Are you saying Rhodes hasn't been practicing the SMU offense? That he's been off in a corner alone studying the wing-t? I'm sure you weren't there, but he was 7-14, 64 yds, 1 TD against UCF. JWill threw for zero TD's.

What would be the point. Oh, to get him killed on the last game of the season. C'mon Mark Rydel, have more football knowledge than that. We need this kid next season. He has a promising future in CUSA. One day he will be our everyday starter, why take the chance on ruining it against Memphis during the last game of the year.

My chicken wing is ruined from to many throws from right field. I couldn't make it in todays games throwing 30 to 74 times a game. But get killed, you don't know me JT. We live by two different creeds JT. You live by the hope creed, you hope something bad does not happen. I live by the wish creed, I wish a [deleted] would [deleted] with me. I was only joking mr. jt/whoeveryouare!

I think Zack is good enough to play, but why now? It is not like PB is evaluating talent, and we as fans have no clue about what it takes to be productive in college football today. So, just save his body. Just out luck he plays and tears an MCL/ACL and then we are screwed.

I think that getting Zack the experience of some D1A snaps outweights the risk of injury (Assuming that there are no lingering problems with his shoulder).

If a redshirt is burned on anyone this Saturday, the coach should be fired.


He is fired Mark Rydel. I knew you were joking, but that is the chance you take when you fire a coach and let him finish out the season. When PB was fired he made sure Sam got a full scholarship. Nothing against Sam because he has been a vital part of our kicking game, but is there any other athletes on the team that we should have given a scholarship to. Maybe someone who cannot afford SMU, or an athlete we really need.

OK so here is the deal. If Willis gets hurt, instead of playing the 2nd team QB (as has been the trend in football since its conception) we will instead just let Morstead punt on first down each time we get the ball. He is after all our best player. Is that better bigdaddy? And you thought I did not know anything about football.
