Sad, our punter took great pride it seemed in blasted punts into the end zone instead of trying to kick short and get it downed inside the 10. When we need to get field position advantages, our punter did his level best to let TCU off the hook.

true, but he did get his average up to over 40 yds and made up for that initial shank (just don't bother to look at the "net" average)

Out of curiosity, didn't we successful execute an onside kick against TTU?

Thank you for drawing attention to that crap Loftus was throwing out there yesterday. Shameful to try to boost your own stats at the expense of the team after your own mistake.

If I was the coach I wouldn't have let him punt again after the first time he obviously blasted one into the end zone.

Hell, let Garrett punt - he did great in the Tech game.

Ha Ha, that PC for ya! BTW, Alexlifeson's "what in the Wide World of Sports is going on here?" Is a line from Blazing Saddles, and so was my KC Faggots comment.
All in jest... :lol:

Was that even supposed to be an onside kick? The SMU players lined up on that side were running down field like they would for a regular kickoff. A real cluster ____. Great communication. :roll:
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.

Even the kicker didn't look like he knew what he kicked

Well.... Our special teams coach is just June's puppet who doesn't know [deleted] about special teams past the 1980's.

JJ promoting unqualified GAs instead of real coaches helps to prove that he has totally checked out.
