F i thought you were going to say some school had to forfeit all its games... but look at the bright side - we get to keep Agent 012

[The XtC]

So, you're saying that in the 5 years since we went winless, we've gotten worse.....

Ok, thanks. That's good to know.

I strongly disagree.

I remember watching that 2003 team. It was beyond inept. I remember one game in particular where SMU had done so little on offense that I actually thought it was more likely that SMU would get a trunover and score than the offense would be able to move the ball.

I also remember the defense being awful, too. The team didn't blitz. It didn't get any pressure and people clammored for a blitz or two. Then late in hte season, I actually saw the team blitz and knew why the team didn't blitz-because it didn't matter. The team still got absolutely no pressure on the QB.

That team was awful.

I will also note that simulation has Keylon Kincaid with 3 TD runs of less than three yards. Everyone here knows that would have never happened. He would have fumbled on the goal line.

BTW, that simulation has the 2003 team score more than twice as many points as it scored in any game that season.

Was that the year of the 42-0 at Fresno State game?

I didn't say it the sim did, and our D is certainly worse.

They didn't get to play our 2008 defense.

I put it to you that the 2003 Offense was worse than the 2008 Defense. In 2003, SMU played the 98th, 104th, 105th, 106th and 117th ranked defenses in the Country. Keep in mind there were only 117 teams that year.

Against La. Tech, the worst defensive team in the country, SMU scored a whopping six points.

Against Rice (98th ranked Defense) SMU scored 20.

Against UTEP (104th ranked Defense) SMU scored 19.

Against Baylor (105th ranked Defense) SMU scored 7.

Against Texas Tech (106th ranked Defense) SMU scored 10.

[StangEsq]

Yeah that offense was horrible, and so was the defense. I think the 08 team would have beaten the 03 team. At least the 08 team could score. The score would have probably been reversed. Just making a lil joke.
