And if you want to start a 'what do you WANT the outcome to be' thread, then do so. But in the 'what do you think will happen' thread, believe it or not, some people aren't so assured that the ponies will dominate Tech.
I beg to differ about not being on the "team" but then we all have differing opinions or we wouldn't get on here and have fun talking about Mustang Football.
Frankly, I am tired of the negative comments about what might happen instead of what has happened. I'm willing to project a positive attitude as a fan because I believe each of us can collectively make a difference. We need more fans in the stands, and we need to encourage more SMU alumni to come to the games. Having said this, I offer no criticism of anyone's negative opinion. I have expressed frustration at June Jones in the past, and taken my comments directly to AD Hart.
Now, will the Ponies win the game on Friday? Having watched the Mustangs play since the early Sixties, and having followed this team closely, I sincerely believe the Mustangs have a better team and will defeat Texas Tech. It has something to do with psychology and human nature. College football is more prone to emotions. I think Gilbert has his head together and the receivers will actually catch the balls. With Traylon Shead in the backfield, I think the Mustangs will do well.
It makes no sense to some, but this is my intuition. If I am wrong - well I'd rather be a horse's [deleted] at predicting games than an expert defeatist.
