I embraced that freaking cold front that blew through in the middle of the first quarter. I also embraced the courage to stay until the end.
I also embraced some pretty decent food at that Mexican joint next to Culwell & Sons after the game.

Yes. I forgot the name. I had not been on Hillcrest in some time and didn't even know it was over there. Went there after the game and had a burrito bowl. Wasn't bad. I'd go back.

7-5 in C-USA this year is a respectable record and will get us to a third consecutive bowl (has that ever happened before?). With the departure of UH and ECU, we are looking at being top dogs in C-USA for the foreseeable future. Embrace it!

BTW, the only other time in SMU history that swe went to three consecutive bowl games was 1982-84. Great things happening with SMU in C-USA.

One could argue that we were playing considerable better competition back then..........and half the Division 1 schools did not get to go to a bowl game.

Yes, but that argument really doesn't wash since TV has really played a major role in the proliferation of bowls where about 2/3s of the teams playing in them shouldn't.
It's the way the system works nowadays so just roll with it.

One could argue many things in many ways. In this instance I am just stating fact.

The result of indifference is inevitably the status quo, so that is a vote for good old C-USA. Thanks general.
