No we wouldn't, QB would be the difference in the game and they have the better one.

Actually Louisville is better now that Teddy Brigdewater is the starting QB.

If we had stayed healthy this year, it might of been a different story. And no matter how bad JJ McDermott plays, he is still worlds better than any QB we had prior to June Jones arriving.


Wrong!!!

How spoiled are our fans? After 25 years without a bowl, we're not satisfied going to a bowl we have a chance to win in Florida in December and be back with our families by Christmas?

If this turns out to be the game we're in, I can't wait to get to St. Pete.

FIU is no lay-up, either. Saw them on TV earlier this year. They're not LSU, but they are not to be taken lightly, either.

Go Ponies!

FIU has an offense. We better find an answer for that.

Our defense is pretty good. Just hard to win when offense is in single digits.

Yes sir, as I said T. Y. Hilton is no joke and their QB Wesley Carroll is a transfer from SEC's Mississippi State.

Best Bowl Best Opponent is my only criteria as it is for most every quality football program-apparently not SMU

Liberty Bowl in Memphis (only-if Compass Bowl it falls below Hawaii Bowl probably)
Ticket City against Big 10 closely followed by
Air Force Bowl against BYU
Hawaii Bowl against Hawaii
Beef O Barf Bowl with Sun Belt tied with
New Orleans Bowl with Sun Belt

That is the next mindset that needs to change for SMU and fans. From "just happy to be in a bowl" to "let's keep this momentum rolling for this and next year" by beating BIG NAME team in bigger bowl. TCU started their run by beating a down USC Trojan squad in el paso if I am not mistaken.
