You know what really bothers me the most?

It's crazy. As I sat watching highlights of college football games across the country, I came to a realization. They flashed some brief clips of our Tennessee game and yeah, I'll admit . . . it hurt to look up and see that (1-9) behind our name on the stat-wrap page. There's nothing fun at all about that. But, I've dealt with it and have come to grips with it. But what came next really got to me. 

They began to show highlights of Navy-SMU. I'll be honest, I grinned a bit seeing them get humbled as badly as we did. But then my grin quickly turned into a grimace on that stat-wrap page. It was that (1-9) behind their name. That freaking ONE!! A single tear trickled down my right cheek. My wife, seated in the bed beside me put her hand on my shoulder. That single tear soon had a buddy coming down the other cheek and I let out a brief whimper. Her hand began to pat my back. She dropped her book and asked me, "What's going on? You dealing with something?"

Suddenly, I couldn't form sentences very easily. All that could come out was, "One! Just one!! It was us, dang it!! Freaking Schmoo!! We suck! They suck! But they suck better! Stupid Gerald J. Ford! Craig James can suck it!!"

I woke up the next morning with six empty beer bottles around me and I was still wearing my clothing from the day before. Yeah, that stupid one beside SMU's name really got to me. The fact that we gave them that lone number is a really tough thing to swallow. Apparently the six Shiners were not.

P. S. -- The previous story is true. However, the facts were changed to make the story more entertaining.

Don't drink to solve your problems. According to some, the best way to cure what ails you is to donate to the keep RV as AD campaign. Don't demand better, just settle and convince yourself that everything is just dandy!

He's all better now, Silent. It was just a gas pain!

I hate that too. Freaking SMU should be 0-10 right now. But that had a lot to do with McCarney and what's done is done. We have 10 more years with SMU, and I'm hoping one that they are asking the coach candidates how much do they hate the ponies, and will they take this "rivalry" (IMO) seriously.
