As I say every year, wait until the end of the season to evaluate the program. If we lose to Montana state and still win 8 or 9 games it will still be a rip roaring success.

Didn't we play Stephan F Austin two years ago that was very highly ranked in the FBS?...it was no contest just like this one will be. The teams in the FBS have limited depth and not nearly enough talent to compete with even SMU at the D-1 level. This is a 3-4 TD win easy.

OK, highly unlikely but somewhat serious question for the group: what do we do about JJ if we are 3-1 in OOC this year, with the one loss being Montana St.? I know I have a better chance of winning the lottery and growing all my hair back than this scenario playing out, but just curious what the collective thinks about it.

He gets a pass for losing to MTSU if we run the gauntlet of Tech, Aggy, and FW Aggy.
Back off Warchild seriously.

I agree. What would we "do about JJ" 4 games into the season?

We can lose to MSU if we beat Aggy or Tech.

Yes - I WILL take that deal for a year or two.

that's like asking: what do we do about the cell phone bill if we win the megamillions?

who cares? we're rich!

the way to beat them is to run the ball and clock mgmt, use the lines. JJ is not going to do that

How do you know what he's going to do? He hasn't even made the game plan up for Texas Tech yet.

Montana State is a legitimate opponent. I see an SMU win, but it will be a fight. It sounds like Montana State is solid.

I would hope that is a no brainer. If we were 3-1 and lost to Montana St. I would put it squarely on the players.

Just curious as to what kind of loss would you put squarely on the coaches? :?:

And who would you put the credit for the 3 wins squarely on?

I think PonyFans will cease to exist. The site will just blow up.

3-1 or 1-3, I couldn't care less as long as we win the conference.
