pretty detailed account of the game.

the third quarter was a disaster but i'm glad we were able to withstand it and get the win.
we would have lost that game in the bad old days.
tulane used to own us.
this team has come a long way under june and his staff.

Whomever relocated to different seats for the 3rd quarter is to blame!

We still need to beat them 4 more times just to even the all-time series. SMU 8 Tulane 12.

lol funny thing i relocated but it was after the ridiculous fumble

Tulane? More like POOlane

You got that right. Not when I was there, but I listened to many [deleted] whoppings over the last few years by Tulane on the internet. This is way better. Just don't have the QB yet. June is doing the best he can with what he has. I think the future is bright. Who'd a thought we would be heading to a BCS Conference at a Texas QB transferring in. What a week. Without June I don't think we'd be here today. Think about the rest of CUSA and what's left of the Mountain West, tough to recruit. We are fortunate...

Couldnt agree more on June's performance, his only flaw for me is his loyalty to hawii and his stagnant football schematics. I realize he uses the RnS to help a weaker team like us against better teams. Im not seeing the results when we played Tulsa and USM. If anything he needs like a backup plan to throw them off. Also I would love to see SMU have running game. I feel our best player is a RB, why not use that to our advantage. Sadly if we had a time to test it out, it would of been the 2nd half of the tulane game.

Tulane also used to be in the SEC and we were in the SWC. Things change.

tulane dropped out of the sec voluntarily. good move tulane.
we didn't get into the big 12.

Tulane has so many similarities with SMU...a long-ago proud tradition. Some success until recent years before apathy just took over and has killed the program....listening SMU students and fans? Located in a big city with competition for the entertainment dollar including Saints!

What do you mean you would love to see us have a running game. zack's already got over 1000 yards for the season. heck he had 3 TDs on saturday. i'd say we're putting the ball in his hands plenty.

We have a running game it's just not diverse. Would love to see us line up under center and run it in short yardage situations.

We did that against Northwestern La. Got us no yards for a couple of plays and a 97 yard TD for them.

We did it against Tulane and got a TD from a yard out.
