Still debating, but less thrilled to go now.

I hope not but my head tells me we get destroyed anyway. Team upset not Hawaii and doesn't want to be there, coach doesn't want to be there, and Graham will continue to run up the score for his own ego. Potential for one of the most lopsided losses of bowl season. If we couldn't score more than 10 pts. on Tulsa, and same team shows up, will be ugly.

We must remember that this game is about the kids and not the coaching staff. These kids placed their faith in this staff being relatively intact for the duration of their career at SMU. They have been torn apart emotionally as any poster on this board. Everyone of these kids came to play in a system that they believed suited their talents and the idea that they would not fit into the next coach's scheme and be left out to dry by a new staff had to weight on them. The team needs our support as they probably had more to lose than any of us.

Will be there with three buddies. There to support the team and school, who will be around long after JJ is gone.
It will certainly be more compelling to watch the sidelines with all the JJ drama.

Run up the score? Pitt scored more than 40 points only once all season. Both teams scored about the same # of points overall so I expect a close game.

Pitt isn't as good as Tulsa.
