History!

Postby Duke Blue Blood » Sat Sep 20, 2008 11:45 pm

I am sick of talking about Doak and the Pony Express. I want to talk about players in this generation. I have only been an SMU fan for 20 years, so I don't know those guys. They were great...but give me something to cheer about.

I ALWAYS thought that Willis at least put us in a situation where we could win. Even at 1-11, I did not feel like were were 1-11 as I had some hope.

That's true. We really weren't 1-11 last year. I don't remember the stats, but it was something like we lost 3 or 4 games by a touchdown or less.

Somewhere in Pittsburgh, PA Phil Bennett is having a good laugh.

I doubt it. He probably already forgot he coached here.

I'm pretty sure the score you lose by is irrelevant. 1-11 is 1-11. Sure it's nice to say "what if" and discount some of those losses, but some of the ones we lost by a touchdown we should have won but we blew our lead.

Would've, could've, should've..........isn't that the real SMU football history of the last 20 years?

I'm sure he is laughing and wondering if the DC job will be open here once DW is fired at Pitt
