Personally I think I rather look good against Alabama and lose than look like crap and beat Tulane...mrydel wrote:So you also think it is better to look good than to win. Glad you were never on my team.

Re: Great Defense
I've had my head handed to me by Bama ('76) and kicked TU's behind ('80). I would much rather beat TU than get killed by Bama.
I love winning, man. Its better than losing.

Re: Great Defense
Thanks for the insight. You called this one.mrydel wrote:What I did see watching was Gilbert throwing a lot off of his back foot. When he steps into the throw he is much better. His back foot throws were due to the rush but I think think it was more of him making late decisions rather than OL blocking. Hopefully he can pick up quicker reads and things might begin to gel some for the offense. The defense looked very solid.ponyte wrote:Listen to the game so didn't see any of the game. A big win on the road against a favored opponent. Nicely do e Mustangs. It sounded like we were solid. Finally got some turnovers and decent punting. Now beat Tulane. Congrats to the team and coaches. This was a must win.

Re: Great Defense
I would agree with that, but moving it to this time what would you rather have good game against Texas or beating UTEP... I think Dallas prefer the good gameponyte wrote:I've had my head handed to me by Bama ('76) and kicked TU's behind ('80). I would much rather beat TU than get killed by Bama.

Re: Great Defense
I would rather have a win. Now and anytime.
Certainly I wish we were strong enough to play and beat the Big Boys. We aren't there yet.
So I am satisfied with winning were we are. If we have a winning record, it will only be the 4th since the DP. Except for two .500 seasons, it has been nothing but losing. And that regardless of who we lose to isn't fun.
I think it is very difficult to build a solid program after so much commitment to failure. IIt might even take a full decade to build the program to the point of big time respectability. It took TCU about that amount of time.
