"Jones said SMU is trying to get back to an offense that will throw it 75 percent of the time as opposed to the 60-40 ratio they crept toward last season."

nothing like a little "teaser" to get us excited about the possibilities for 2013. At this stage of SMU football's rebirth, it's all about getting the guys to perform to/beyond their abilities

the best thing about opening the season against an old SWC opponent as a heavy underdog is that one of these years...

BTW, I have read the "Admirals" and it is a marvelous story of WWII Naval leadership and how each of our 5 Star Admirals contributed to victory. Nimitz and King are especially appealing.

"We want to lead the nation in passing, that's for sure," Mumme said. "We want to win a whole bunch of games. What's the name of our conference? We want to win that." :lol: :lol: Love it.8)
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

That would be definitive proof that God hates SMU football.
