Yeah, I say we beat Tulane and Rice. Navy and Houston will beat us like they always do.

I still think we beat Navy, in addition to Tulane and Rice.

But I'm not thinking we're going to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl anymore. Hawaii Bowl, here we come.

should beat Tulane and Rice. Another 7-5 record and New Orleans Bowl after watching SMU's performance the last 6 QT's of football.

I had us going 7-5 and agree they might still pull out 8-4; bottom line is we should finish with a better record than last year's .500

Who cares?...the coaches just don't have these guys ready to play....yet again. They show up flat week after week with no sense of urgency......

I wish I could be confident about that one but Mason hasn't shown me he can stop an option team...or I should say our players haven't shown that ability

Going to be a little harder since our offense has decided to quit scoring, but we have some experience in our front seven against the Navy offense, corners that can run support, and safeties that can hit. As long as we cover a pass every now and then I think this is our year to beat them.

I watched Rice play UH--especially at the beginning of the game, and I will not underestimate them. They will beat us if we don't get our heads screwed on straight. But...........as much as I love us going to a bowl, I don't want us to go and get creamed like the last 2 weeks. If our team pulls together and starts playing like a team and the coaches start coaching like THEY want to win, then I can't wait to go bowling again.
