Just kidding. Would love you guys to come here on Christmas day. It would be a good game of high powered offenses. Good luck Ponies!

Been watching both these teams all season long, and Hawaii has done nothing but get better while SMU has gotten worse. Hawaii deserves a better opponent for their bowl.

The last two games were lost because of attitude. The team didn't care enough about Navy because they were non conference and did not effect our goal for the year. The hangover from Navy resulted in the team under performing against Houston and Houston's loss to Rice made them want the win. If the attitude changes we should win this weekend - if not we will not and UTEP will get us as well.

We've lost the last two games for two reasons (besides the weak special teams which we've had all season)

1) KP is thinking too much. Stop that and play like you did last year when you were just getting used to the JJ play book. He's smart and talented. Time is no longer his friend.

2) We have one DB and he is out. No Sterling. We are forced to rush only 3 becuase we have no secondary. We don't put enough pressure on the QB by rushing 3.

No need to over analyze. We are still building depth. We've got two healthy guys who play with tons of heart...Beasley and Line. We need everyone to step up.

Hopefully JJ has em fired up for Saturday.

Beat Tulane!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tulane may not be a must win but it is an important game to win.

But if they lose this game, you could have some real confidence problems in the locker room. Half of the game is how you are mentally prepared to play.

They were not mentally ready to play against Houston -- even before the rain delay.
