I thought we'd find two wins on this year's schedule and I still do. I hope someone comes to watch the Nevada game, as that may be our best shot.
Next year, we win 3-4 games but more importantly, I don't think we get blown out regularly in our defeats. By 2006, SMU football is competitive enough that some fans that have been awol for years get curious and start coming back to attend an occasional game.
Meanwhile, over at Moody, Jimmy Tubbs' Mustangs are the surprise team of the 2004-2005 WAC season and earn a bid to the NIT. Suddenly, more than the usual 1500 are filling the seats and Moody and Dallas area players take notice. By the 2006-2007 season, SMU is averaging over 5,000 at Moody and nobody in CUSA looks forward to visiting Dallas.
I've always been a dreamer, but despite the misery of this past year or two, I see good things happening in the next couple of years. Color me a sunshiner, because if I was convinced things weren't going to improve, I wouldn't be wasting my time on this site.
