Ojai officially needs psychiatric help.

Getting excited about this game. I hope the D comes to play and the O improves over last week.

This is only year 2 for CM. June and PB didn't beat TCU until year 4.

Season trends:
- TCU has not forced an INT all season, and only one forced fumble. SMU throws red zone interceptions.
- TCU has a horrible pass defense, SMU has a poor pass efficiency offense
- TCU is statistically one of the best return teams, SMU has one of the worst return defenses
- TCU is one of the worst penalized teams in the country. SMU is pretty good
- SMU has one of the worst red zone offenses in the country, TCU one of the worst RZ defenses

Whichever teams reverses the most trends wins. So, yes, I realize it is a real shocker to say TDs instead of FGs, turnover margin, and penalties, but at least we are decent enough not to need a miracle in all three areas now .

Keep your eye on penalties. That cost TCU the game against Arkansas and also kept other teams in the game so far. Without penalties they win their first three games quite handily.

There is iron in your words....

I think we are gonna take this one.

GAMEDAY!!!!

Not having Turpin will hurt the TCU special teams return game but they will still be pretty good.

Can't wait!!!
Let's go Mustangs!!!

Spread went down to 20. Is this the lowest spread in 10 years?

No, spread was usually around 14-18 in the pre CumbieMeacham offense.

Reason #349 we need to be in a conference with traditional rivals.

I bet Rice would join your American conference if you asked....

Naw. We are going to bring Rice into the Big 12 with us. You guys can use the smarts.

If Matt Davis plays tonight, I predict SMU wins. But since he has an ACL tear, that's unlikely.

If the QB who was recruited by Tech, Florida, and Michigan plays, I predict we lose by three TDs or more.
