the 2 million dollar man

is making us look very bad. We couldn't score against a bad team...and yes, UCF is a bad team. UTEP, another bad team hung 58 on them last week. The 94 yard TD pass, which was under thrown, was an obvious blown assignment by the defense. I'm trying like hell to find something to be positive about......but it is hard. I think we are looking at back to back one win seasons.

I wish I could be positive. I really don't see how we can win another game except get lucky against UTEP or Navy. To you sunshiners, please tell me how you see another win?

June Cometh for $2M is starting to look really embarrassing.

This was that game that comes around every year which looked like no contest at the start of the season but was very winnable when the game came. I think UCFs defense might win a couple of games but UCFs offense will have little to do with it. Of course, they got their own true freshman QB and Greco who looked like a high school QB. Both have terrible mechanics

As for June Jones-shouldn't judge a Coach in this situation until AT LEAST 3-4 years and no final judgment should be made at a school like SMU for 5 years minimum. But I will agree that he has made this job into an even more difficult rebuilding job with his QB decision.

Yes, an complete overreaction which our typical nature -- but we are in our natural pissed off mood after a loss.

Absolutely correct/right on in your assessment. Unfortunately, JJ not only did not inherit very much strength or talent in his upper-classmen, but this situation also leaves a huge void in player leadership and mentoring which is such an important ingredient for any winning program. Hence, the coaching staff is also forced to compensate for this missing player leadership with 71% of the roster being under-classmen. This situation will be rectified as this team matures and leaders will evolve over time. You are absolutely right that the acquisition of talent, change of culture and evolution of leadership will take 3-4 years before you can judge the program. We were going no where in a hurry with Bennett stalled out and the program going no where. We can only get better, but time will be the judge.

Where Oh Where is Mitch Enright - I know he had pins and screws put into his hand this week. Mt. McJunkin was shown to be young today.

We did not drop a ton of passes.
Our D. got some pressure.
We had a good drive for a TD.
Only 1 INT was Bo Leiven's fault.
Don't Stop Bo Levi!!!

With XTC and I on the D-line we would have doubled the size of out d-line.
Yes that is a joke of sorts.

Bring in the BIG MEN to playD.

This is going to take some time.

Peace be with you always.

It's not really McJunkins fault (because he should not be playing this year) but, that kid was absolutely mauled like a child today.

Time to take down all of the billboards around town..................before we get sued for false advertising

by **Stallion** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 7:47 pm

All 3 Ints were without question Mitchell's fault.

If you thought that we were a bowl team this year.... I have a great 3-27 mortgage for you to purchase that Frisco home :wink:

McJunkin will be fine - even better in years to come.

Maybe we can get a medical redshirt for Mitch Enright and he can play next year and let Mr. McJunkin get bigger and meaner.

We are improving.

I don't think most of you understand how much of a rebuilding job June Jones thinks this job is. He is playing freshman who had no other offers....

I actually do... I am totally patient. I felt we were going to win tonight, just a hunch. But we didn't I am really no upset about it. I feel really good about our future, and - for once - I am not upset about the losses. I really don't thik this is the year we will win under J. Jones, BUT, I have absolutely no doubt that we will win. And win soon. Next year or the year after,,,, sooon, baby, soon!

the tipped interception was tipped by a UCF player before it got to the SMU player and was thrown into "triple coverage" as stated by the commentator
