I heard the defense has been reading the board all week and is eager to show what they can do. And everytime someone predicts SMU to lose, SmooPower cries.

I hope the boys are reading this board and it gives them some motivation to play beyond what they've shown us in the 1st two games. Let's hope that before this season is finished, they will make us forget we lost Rogers, Haywood, Bonds, Carrington & Sturdivant

I believe nothing about recruiting after seeing a one start headed to ASU become a 3 star when he backed out and announced he was going to Okie State.

ASU traditionally melts down a couple times per season on the road. You got to see one of those.

I think there is a big difference between last year and this year simply because ASU is no longer depending on freshmen to carry the water on offense.

But they did, and they didn't. And SMU won.

But they could of, and SMU loses! It was sad enough that the ponies did give up over 600yds passing to NORTH TEXAS!!!

And god himself could have appeared at the 50 yard line just in time to sack Daniel Meager and end a drive. Point is, it didn't. But it could have!!!

Corey Leonard - We saw him last year, good arm not a good head. I am sure he improved. And honestly, if the dude really had a scholarship to LSU do you really think he would be at Arkie State? Specially being from Louisiana?

Preston Brown - I am guessing you are talking about the 3* #87 ranked RB in the country according to Scout??? Oh and he did not get an offer from Miami unless you mean Ohio...someone is lying to you.

Paul Henry - This guy is a stud...not sure how he ended up at ASU.

Linzy Harris - By 3/4 you mean 2 (rivals) / 3 (scout)? Same kid who didn't catch a pass in your first game?

William Anderson - This guy is a 3* 5.5 rated kid...actually very good! Got nothing but good things to say about this one.

Stanley Porter - Another 3* 5.5 rated kid. Another good one though he lists such offers as Alcorn St., Jackson St., Mississippi Valley and Div II as his only other committable offer. Sounds like he got the raw deal from Ole Miss.

Adam Gaston - I am not sure what a snapper is? Are you saying your long snapper is better than ours because if that is your game plan than I will give it to you. Cheers!

Finally we come to Reggie Arnold. He can play and 6.2 is impressive. I like this kid, he plays tough.

Alright so overall assessment: You amp a QB that completed under half his passes and threw as many ints as TDs last year, you shout for a DB who had 1 pick last year, a long snapper which is just funny, and 4 true freshman who I can't even tell if they are starting.

This is just my opinion though.

Say what you want about the QB. He wasn't even the starter at SMU, though he clearly should have been, despite his being a freshman. He has only thrown 1 interception in the past 5 games. Not to mention his completion percentage against Texas was 64%. He did have an offer from LSU to play DB, but he had already committed to play QB for South Carolina when Lou Holtz got fired.

Preston Brown DID get an offer from both Miami and Tennessee, but committed to Oklahoma State to follow his idol Barry Sanders. Was nearly a prop and OSU gave away his scholly. We were very lucky to get him last minute. And his rankings depend solely on which site you go to, but here is rivals

http://rivals100.rivals.com/viewprospec ... 51&Sport=1

Why dont you go ahead and check those college choices at the bottom before you pop off any further.

And if you don't think Tyrell Johnson is the real deal, you might check his 25 tackles in a single game record. Or ask Texas fans what they thought of him. He is ranked in nearly everyone's top 10 safeties in the country.

Our LB was also a 3 Star 5.5 (Ben Owens).

My point was, the recruiting "ho-hum" comment is ridiculous. We have several solidly recruited players. Several of whom will be key in beating SMU on Saturday.

Which begs the question. What in the hell about SMUs recruiting would have someone questioning someone elses recruits???

If SMU doesn't drop FOUR other should-be INTs, we're not whining about a 600-yard passing day and they don't put up 25, much less 35. Our DBs had a bad day, and Meagher impersonated John Elway. It was one of those days that happens, and you go on. Defense will be better, starting this week.

SMU XX
ASU XX

I'll let you know about 10 p.m. Saturday. I'm writing this in protest because I hate predicting scores. I just want us to win....
.....

.....

oh screw it, I said I expected this team to win. That said, it's about time we start expecting -- sorry, jtstang I have to do this -- because the people in this program shot off their mouths all offseason and told us we should expect to be bowling and did so with Pony Up!, billboards, TV ads and all that stuff.

Well, the days of being a darkhorse need to start receding.

Hey, guys if you're reading, it's time to start delivering the goods and play like a team that wants to play in December. If you do that, then you win a game like this.
SMU 20
ASU 16
