For those of us who follow our team, its hard to argue with his analysis.

I know (its one game at a time), but it sure is nice to see the writers acknowledge this team without starting with "Larry Brown" or "sanctions."

Its a new day on the Hilltop. I will be there on the front row of 216 with SMU banner waiving throughout the game.

Let's go Ponies!!

If we beat DUke and then Villanova, we sure as heck better beat Arizona and UNC.

Comet,

A a great man once said:

My mantra is to get into the NCAA before I die

"Win one NCAA Tournament Game before I die"

is still up for grabs as a personal mantra.

Yep, just wanna win that rematch over USC and then enjoy the ride from there. I am as nervous about the USC/Providence game as I was back in our first bowl game against Nevada in '09....hoping for the same results.

I'm on the edge of having an anxiety attack at work and the game is still 3 days away and we don't even know our opponent. What word is 10x stronger than nervous?

For what its worth, I have SMU winning it all in my brackets.

Agreed. A UCLA type repeat this year could be really devastating for some Pony Fans

Wouldn't mind another shot at UCLA either.

If we can get that far we would all agree!

Screw that. I want UCLA out early to Cincinnati.

I think both outcomes are good. I definitely want UCLA to lose as soon as possible, but if they have to win, at least let us both advance far enough where we get the chance to knock them out. On the other hand, them showing the goaltending call ad nauseum prior to the game might not be good for PonyFans' health.
