Patterson has nothing to say about SMU on the Ticket.

[Topper]

I like it when people say "to be honest with you."

Whenever I hear this I question their honesty even more.

When I was a trial lawyer I encouraged my witnesses to never ust that phrase. Puts everything else they say in doubt.

SMU has 2 Super Bowls this year! Tech said that they were SMU's Super Bowl, and Patterson has said numerous times TCU was our Super Bowl. I wonder if we can use this as a recruiting tool?

[Pony_Fan]

Could care less about Patterson or what he says or thinks. He sure does sweat a lot though..

[PonyTime]

Is TCU's super bowl vs. BYU, the usual matchup of Boise State in a bowl game, or the mid level pac 10 team that they beat last week. I hope the latter - thus they will have no reason to take us seriously as they have already won their super bowl. Perhaps they will even bench some of their better players so that they don't get injured for next year . . .

[PonyTime]

With that said - I have two tickets to OUR super bowl and just bought my plane tix for Sept 24th. How early does the blvd open on a friday????

[Charleston Pony]

he shouldn't be thinking about SMU...nor should Jones be thinking about TCU. We both have important games to play before we meet

It's the host's fault for asking a guy like Patterson that kind of question. He's been a head coach for enough years that everyone should know you're not getting worthy insight from him about a topic like that. He'll go for hours if you ask him how tough the offensive line from Tennessee Tech will be this Saturday, but asking his thoughts regarding the school 45 minutes away that will cover the same ground in five years that took his school ten years is not very heads-up by the host.

He used the perfect answer, it's just that his star presence is as weak as ever, he's a bad tv and radio interview, and his 2010 TCU team is more explosive than last year.

Heard him speak publically recently - and I have nothing vs the guy, but it was a garbled mess - everyone was looking at each other with WTF? expressions on their face. Obviously a talented coach - but he should hire a stunt interviewer. Too bad Chris Farley is dead - he would have been perfect.

[HollywoodMustang]

The players can take it one game at a time, no problem. But me? I drool over the thought of beating those intellectually under developed frog people.

Who did the interview? If it wasn't Norm Hitzges or the great Rich Phillips, it was by someone who knows little about the English language and even less about SMU.

Coaches say nothing when asked questions like that. If he says SMU is great, he gets ripped for looking too far ahead, and if he doesn't, he gets ripped for disrespecting an opponent. They're not going to answer anything of significance. It's hard to believe that questions like this even get asked, when you know the answer is going to be useless. GP was being politically correct.

The two teams are going after the same recruits. Why would he want to give positive comments about SMU or give them additional airtime?

i haven't seen any kids on both of our lists for quite a while. Honestly

what, you guys didnt offer the 4-star from Cali? And the Frogs didnt make the final three w/ Levingston...I know SMU was in his top 5 with Florida, Washington, and Oregon...guess I asssumed the other was TCU

Gary Patterson ain't that great. Gary Patterson took over a program (with a VERY long history of losing) that had already been jump-started by Dennis Franchione. Anybody remember him? Of course you do, it's the same guy that finished second to June Jones in the head-coaching search that seemed to last a year. GP was simply handed the keys to the BMW and asked not to f it up. The guy is possibly one of the most overrated coaches in NCAA history.

Yep, what he said.

[mrydel]

How does Franchione keep getting those recruits to sign with Patterson? And then coach them to the number one defense in the nation? No wonder we did not hire him, he is spending all of his time taking care of Patterson.
