Sorry, yoiu didn't answer my question: SMU's new stadium got them an invite to CUSA; so then what? They got blasted last night by A&M....one week after a "pretty" win over TCU. I don't see it any different than our random, once-in-20-tries, wins over Tech or Baylor. I'm not buying into the better recruits argument. We have better recruits than we did 3 years ago; and, you know what, I believe the 2002 team would have won last night. The stadium WILL bring the standard up fro recruits, but last night the problem seemed deeper than that. The closest, most logical disection of last night (to me) is FFR's. For the first time in 4+ years, with NO possiblity of overstating this, we have ZERO threat to stretch opposing defenses. Here's hoping they get this together and put up a fight against KSt. -gm PS: is anyone else seeing some parallels between now and the 2001 start?
