Re: Postgame notes (11/19/11)
SMU is 16-7 in its last 23 Conference USA games overall - not bad.
Great kickoff returns by Richardson. Where has this been all year?

Re: Postgame notes (11/19/11)
Padron 4-1 in C-USA games in 2009 tied for West Div Title.
6-2 in 2010 Tied for West Div Title and plays in C-USA championship game. With the loss of the Championship game, 6-3.
Total 10-4 71.4%
Take away the championship game because McD won't have a conf championship appearance, Kp is 10-3. 76.9%
McD is 4-3, with no championship appearance, nor West Div title 57.1% Assume we beat Rice. 5-3, 62.5%. If we lose 4-4 50%.
Nice decision Jones.

Is Padron still on the team? I went to the game yesterday with an SMU buddy and we couldn't even find him on the sideline.

That explains it. What is his injury? Also, Let me say that SMU's defense played well. Except for a hand full of big runs, it seemed to me they held Houston's dink and dunk attack in check.
Now the offense...yeesh...
