I think Jeff Foxworthy said it best when he said he wanted a beer and to see something naked. At least that's what my husband tells me.

Real close DG. I have a 17 year old male in the house and it is continual rutting season. Hormones rule the brain and it is not the big head that does the thinking. The campus coed can certainly make a difference in a recruits mind.

Hey when I was looking at colleges as a 17 year old male. One sight of the SMU coeds and I was ready to sign on the dotted line and oh yeah they have a good business school. (At least that's the reason I gave the parents). So, yeah focus on the important things and then give them a reason they can tell their parents.

It would seem we have digressed here from the original intent of the thread..."A" or "B" folks?

A.

I glanced through next year's schedule and saw 5 win-able games. There's a couple more (like TCU who seems to be making a nose dive) that might be possibles too.

Tough to say with this team, but I don't think we're that far away. If we sign a handful of JUCOs in key areas, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we hit 6 wins in '05. We're heading in the right direction.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

There will be several really good teams in CUSA next year, but there's a lot of mediocrity as well.

Baylor, Houston, Tulsa, ECU and Tulane are all win-able.

If we drop a game against Baylor or Tulane, maybe we can pick up a W against Rice (who we really should have performed better against) or UTEP (who will be graduating a ton of players and former JUCOs). And you never know, TCU seems to be going down pretty fast.

But then again, I always pretty much suck on my preseason prognostications. So I wouldn't immediately go out and call your bookie or anything.

For the record, give me an "A". In my opinion, any game against a sub .500 team is a winnable game. Now, does that mean we will win them? No. But those games are winnable.

I'll say A, too. We should be able to win 3 games (Baylor, Houston and Tulsa definitely, I hope. ).

Teams starts 0-7, finishes with 2 wins in the last 4 and Bennett gets an extra year.

Gee, according to Dooby's summary we will face 8 teams with losing records. I guess that means 8 winnable games.

Of course SMU has a lot of question marks with several nice players injured. A lot depends on how these players rehab.

Beat whoever it is we are playing!!
