Every video they have of us is us losing!

[SMUFan]

There's got to be a punchline in there somewhere....

Your school always loses, but still manages to be ranked in the preseason? Got incriminating pictures of the voters or something?

[Mustangs35SMU]

Always lose? Yea thats why we have 23 District Championships, Thats why we have the 5th most Playoff Apperances in 5A Thats why we're 515-256-75 since 1922 Thats why we have 11 winning seasons in the past 13 years

Edit: Not to mention 30 of the past 33 years

Yea Really call that losing

Only a shocker to those that hadn't seen the Wildcats play that year. Since that group is based in Houston, I guess it was surprising to them that anyone could shut down Yates.

That's true - it wasn't a shocker. I think LH won the mythical national championship. They showed the game on cable nationally - I think it was ESPN - and for whatever reason, Reggie Jackson did color commentary.

It shocked me. Although we were undefeated going into the game -- including a pounding adminstered to then hated rival Plano -- Yates had the reputation of being an extremely fast and athletic team. This was not a good matchup for us.
