The Mob

Loved it. Creative and effective (when everyone joins in). They should come up with a counterpoint cheer "No! No! No!" and some arm waving/jumping/something movement to go with it.

Ok, that is awesome!

I think there's also still a little bit of an unspoken worry that "we are SMU after all" when the team plays as sloppy and uninspired as they did in the first half. It's going to take a couple years of continued program success for those demons to be fully exorcised.

To be fair, I can't think of too many home games against good opponents where we rallied from a significant hole in the second half. Our fans (and our players as Cunningham pointed out after Cinci) are used to blow outs at home.

The crowd (and player) response once we closed it to 6 or 7 was fantastic from there on out. You could feel the momentum in Moody.

Agree here on the "we are SMU something bad is going to happen" - I am guilty of that myself and it is hard to fight thru it. That and there wasn't much to cheer for and the every missed free throw took a little more air out of the place. Plus, I think the team and crowd was also deflated a bit from the craziness of Saturday.

On the flip side, it was really like flipping a switch on the energy. Crazy - I have never witnessed a sporting event where the fans turned it so suddenly like that. Great to see us pull that one out - a good opponent in an incredibly important game with the crowd really into it; this team seems to have some mental toughness edge we did not always have last season.

Completely agree with everything you said ^.

I like a rotation of S-M-U and Moody Magic chants when we are making a comeback or pulling away from the opponent

What are they yelling while jumping and pointing upwards during the free throws?

I stand corrected

Thanks my friend.
