Yeah. That 1916 year was horrible. But we tried.

I do think we will score a TD next week though.

Bad recruiting has basically reset this program to year one.

here's an interesting question-has any team ever lost 4 straight games by 37+ (really 43)

Yeah. I had an interception in the end zone or it would have been worse.

Conference opponents will save us, but just curious, will this create any problems with the tiki god statue?

Do you mean SMU team? I am sure others have been as bad as we are.

"I do think we will score a TD next week though."

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. I don't mean to bag on the kids, because they are trying hard. But this is the worst SMU offense I've ever seen. The O looked like a gnat flying into the teeth of a hurricane today. And even on the two drives that went somewhere, they showed no ability to finish.

Hard to think it took us almost 100 years to achieve consistency.

They had the forward pass back then?

Hey the Sophomores on the 1916 team were Champions as Seniors in the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. My great Uncle played on that team-I've even got his middle name. So I'm saying there's a chance...
