Fumble!!! NT ball

I agree...can't remember the last time we were in a shoot out like this...of course, it wouldn't be as much of a shoot out if our defense plays decently.

Touchdown to fitzgerald!!!

Crap! 17-14 SMU at halftime

Ouch...holman lays the wood on Willis...SMU punting

3 and out but punt pins SMU on 3

SMU touchdown 14-10

No, that's cool...you're doing a good job. Besides, I sometimes have to step away to pay a little attention to the wife.

Ball downed at the 3...bummer Damn you Green Tiger...always one step ahead!

I still see us missing tackles

TOUCHDOWN!!! Meager 25 yd pass to Fitzgerald. We're running over them on offense...hopefully we can keep it up and step it up on defense (fingers crossed). EDIT - Guess I'm a little slow at this

SMU drove down the field but stalled in the red zone UNT 7 SMU 3

Meager 4 yd td pass to Brandon Jackson...he already has over 100 yds passing! NT 7 SMU 0

Nevermind...they are using the radio station for audio and I guess they are using their big screen video for the game play?

Anyone else getting a 3 or 4 min delay in the audio for those watching on the internet?

Agreed... If anything, I've felt sorry for some of my past SMU (and Baylor and TCU for that matter) co-workers who went there, paid 4-6 times (or more) for there education, and came out of school with 60K plus of debt and the same job that I got. Some things will just never make sense to me

I've refrained from sharing this story for the past year, but in light of our butt whippin' this past weekend, I need to release some anger I had NT season tickets for the 3 seasons before I moved up to CO this winter, and I always parked at the Wesley Foundation (Methodist student center) next to maple because I was involved there as a student and walked to the stadium. For the SMU game, I parked in my usual spot next to a Lexus SUV with a SMU sticker on the back. I had never seen this vehicle and figured it was the vehicle of an older SMU alum from the looks of the vehicle but didn't think much else about it otherwise. Well, after we beat the Ponies proper, my soon to be wife and I went to Willis library because she had to check out a book and when we got back to my SUV, there were beer bottles strewn about on both sides of where this SMU SUV was parked. The was also a plastic bag laying right behind my back right tire. At first I sarcastically think, "Isn't that awesome...someone had some brews in the parking lot of the Methodist center!" So I picked up the plastic back behind my tire to use it to collect the bottles, when I was surprised and angered to find two empty bottles in the plastic bag lined up just perfectly so that my tire would have busted them (and probably put a hole in the tire). Needless to say, I was quite infuriated and wanted to kick someone's ass for this attempted high-schoolish prank. Anyways, I got over it...but my opinion of SMU fans has been tarnished for good, although I don't hold it personally against SMU fans that are friends of mine. Ahh...now I feel better!

I didn't feel quite so bad about that game cause I knew we didn't stand much of a chance, but yes, I was none to happy about that game. I just wanted to try to make everyone feel a little better and remind Mean Green peeps that yes, it could be worse. Enjoy the rest of the first weekend of football!

I feel pretty bad about the game about as much as the next guy, but I still feel much better about the position we are in than I did we received a 50-something to 2 shelacking at the hands of Tulsa a couple of years ago. I remember feeling a sense of hopelessness because teamse were stacking eight in the box and rendering our "high-powered" running game ineffective, and I knew that our coaching staff wasn't going to do much to fix it. I don't get this same feeling from this year's experience so far. This game, to me, just showed where are at right now and will be a good reference to gauge how much we can improve through out the rest of the season and into next year. So take a few shots of green kool-aid, keep supporting our team and coaches (wish I could physically be there this year), and keep dreaming of better times ahead. Cheers!

I'm with ya on the Rage (if you couldn't tell by my avantar). I was thinking something from their first album...Know Your Enemy, Bombtrack, Take the Power Back, Wake Up...here's a link that has samples of these songs (scroll down to "Listen to Samples") Rage samples But there are plenty of songs on their other albums that could fire people up. Several Metallica songs would do the trick as well.

Do you think he may consider the CFL?

Agreed...I thought that was an odd ending to that post.

I didn't read much if any concern for political correctness into this post...looks to me like he was making the point (which I happen to also agree with) that this horse is quickly being beat into Elmer's glue and the kid has even played a down of college ball yet. Just my two scents...feel free to rip on me now.

Wow...reading this thread takes me back to back-of-the-school-bus conversations in Jr. High... ahh, to be so young
