"It's not y'all's [the meida] job to believe in us, it's nobody else's job to believe in us but us".

Reading this forum, I'm glad the kids have that attitude.

Do they? That's the right attitude.

He's always been that way. last year there was a video where he was saying it was all about his teammates didn't matter if there were 200 or 20000 in the stands. Something like that. I for one am glad he wouldn't blame anything on fan support <.< >.>

only attitude you can have when you feel under-appreciated, but you know Rambo and his teammates would love it if SMU had 30k faithful rocking Ford for those last 2 home games...and my bet would be they would play even more inspired ball if that was ever to happen

Did it feel like the D picked up the energy from the crowd after the whiny ref complained about the music? That's a serious question I was on the field behind large people.

Absolutely.

Yeah it totally doesn't make sense how ford isn't crowded after those 3 blows outs and 4 close losses!! They should feel very underappreciated!

Ok, Mr. Scrooge, let us not enjoy Christmas gifts when we get them.

I'm with the next guy when it comes to wanting improvements within our football program. I'd like to see us dominate an entire football game, I'd like to have a coach that recruited hard, and I'd love to see us achieve better than 6-6 and 7-5, but damnit I've never seen someone as negative as you. I'm by no means a sunshiner, but the irrational bs you post sometimes really makes me wonder if you're a troll. You hardly even seem like a fan. This isn't even a thread about attendance and no one even questioned why Ford hasn't been packed. Plenty of us are critics but at least we seem to post it constructively. Unless you have some legitimate ideas or would like to add something we don't know already then otherwise shut up and go watch your SLC dragons.

When I looked at the title of the thread I thought you were talking about the movie character. But I think everyone supports the team's players but the belief may not be there for some in Coach Jones in certain areas like recruiting.

I love lamp.

Lol geez angry much? Irrational? What do I say that's irrational: 1) in year 6, we should be better than 3-4 and compete with our ex-swc mates? 2) in year 6, we should be at least in the top 50 recruiting classes? 3) in year 6, ws should be s contender for moving up to P5?. I could go on and on and hopefully of all people you should feel the same way. I'm sorry I can't be positive or brag to people that we beat am fcs team at home by one point, or get butt pounded by temple for almost 3 quarters at home and blow gigantic leads against Memphis.... And those are just the wins and I'll spare you my great disappointment with the losses. I don't really care of you consider me a fan or not you and the rest of the posters opinions are well opinions. I have high standards for football coming from an actual winning program and also going to a school that I thought would one day have the same mindset but yet it seems people are happy with the wins and understanding of the losses which makes me think the posters on here have NTCC mindset...

However if you need proof that I'm a fan: I travel to every away game that's permissible with my work and family. Outside of work which I usually wear smu dress shirt, I practically wear red and blue each day. I have a peruna hat that I wear to game days and could careless of some judgment looks (but at least enjoy the high fives I get from the others). I root for my team each and every time but sue me if I'm greatly disappointed with how this season turn out. Also I rave online about GG because to me he's the one thing that's actually working.

I just don't buy the "fans motivate us to play better" argument. I played top level high school and club soccer...I've played for national and state championships...now, granted the number of fans watching high school soccer and SMU football are two orders of magnitude different, but crowds never made me play any better. I may sprint a little harder during warm-ups but during the game it was the same. I always played like scouts were watching and I'd expect all collegeate scholarship athletes to have the same amount of pride.

Now, something that would affect my game was new shoes or new goalkeeper gloves. They made me think I was better or faster, and so I'd play better and faster.

I would've expected new blue uniforms to have a similar affect on our young men...but that experiment failed...we came out flat.
