Pirate Football ..........

Postby bwpirate » Tue Oct 06, 2009 1:29 pm

This is not intended as a smack post but as information .... here's some video so you can get an early look at our football team. It's hard to follow C-USA teams because of the geographic sprawl of the conference. Our game this weekend will showcase two different football philosphies ...... wide open vs traditional grind it out. It will be fun to watch as well as interesting from the game strategies .... so here's to a great injury free contest. See you on Saturday night.

It's been an interesting year so far for us..... some bumps in the road but as with any team that's to be expected. We don't do anything fancy we'll try and establish our running game and then play action off of it. Our defense runs a base defense based off the 4/3/4 set. We move around alot behind the defensive line and will blitz on ocassion. Our defensive strategy is is to bend but not break but if we do make offenses take alot of time to score. Our front four is experienced & mobile .... this is the fouth year they've been together.

Here you go .......

It has a nice TCU look to it. 8)
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Those are fans - and i guess our new mascots are supposed to bring em out to Ford - especially the under 30 crowd. Can't wait.
