Game thread for SMU

[El Paso Eagle]

Fine might turn out to be a good game manager. We need a playmaker. So everyone can keep acting like fine will ever lead us to more than 5 or 6 wins, but, IMO, he will not

[MeanGreenDan]

Oh god. It goes from bad to worse.

[Censored by Laurie]

players put in an awful spot with this play calling

[CMJ]

Trick plays always look great when they work and moronic when they don't.  That's the nature of the game.

[CaribbeanGreen]

When is the last time SMU Has casually toyed with someone like this in FBS? Gonna be a loooooong year

[cdizzle86]

Wouldn't have been terrible if it worked. Piss poor execution

[Silent Eagle]

I wish I still drank. 

[GMG24]

Problem, covering an NFL WR one on one with no help.  That's stupid

[SouthBendGreen]

I just logged on and cannot believe people are blaming Fine.  You guys are flipping crazy.  Do you watch football?  The OLine has been atrocious.  Play calling has been suspect and don't start on the defense and dumb mistakes.  The idea that anyone is trying to pin this on Fine either has something personal against him or simply doesn't know football.  Case in point what just happened in the end zone.  That's a major college football throw by Fine but holding results in a safety.  I'm remembering why this board frustrates the hell out of me.  

Haven't seen it yet but I'm sure there is a thread about how bad the uniforms are because we are green and white. 

Ugh.

It doesn't help.

This is a joke. Defense, offense, special teams. Who thought it was a good idea to let Perry go?

They deserve to get their teeth kicked in. Everyone on our side of the stadium is just laughing and making plans. 

This school and this team are a joke. We are losers because we accept losing. It's funny. Seriously at this point I hope they put up 60 on us. Everyone will still laugh and joke and think "oh well we still have an FBS team!"

Freaking joke.

[SouthBendGreen]

Furthermore those of you that think Fine is costing us the game are probably also cowboys fans that thought Romo was the problem.  

[DeepGreen]

One other thing we lack is enough talent.  Our line is porous on offense; defensive line is........I'd rather not say.

Oh, I quit watching the game.  Now watching the aggies take on Nicholls State.  Aggies out in front 14-6.  Show of hands if you think Sutherland will get axed Monday.

i think the most disappointing thing tonight has been the lack of pressure on their QB. we aren't playing well on the O-Line, but it's clear everytime we get pressure on Hicks he gets inaccurate

Ugh.  

I agree with pretty much all of that (especially our defensive issues)....but I do think the uniforms need to go.

I don't think he is costing us the game. He's just part of the problem. We have a lot of offensive issues.

[Christopher Walker]

Every time Harrell calls an end zone fade in a crucial situation, I die a little inside.

[keith]

WHY?

He is issue #104 at best.  The comment about pressure on the dline and oline is spot on.  As usual good teams are good in the trenches and we aren't.  That's been it tonight.  And sorry LB McDonald??   He has looked lost all night.  

[James329]

I'm so tired of the wide open offense and the no balls on play calls. Do or don't. Throw the ball down field. Can't? Recruit. Can't? Move on. 40-17 verse a peer. Not good enough. Even for North Texas.

[untbowler]

Good God, just hope we do not get schooled by UAB in a few weeks. Iowas won't even be worth watching considering the beating an average SMU is doing to this team.

[El Paso Eagle]

Bring back the wishbone!!!

[keith]

Oh dear Lord, there's a whole quarter left.

[SouthBendGreen]

Also on a side note how does SMU not throw the ball to Sutton on basically every play??  If I were a SMU fan, God help me, I would be pissed.  

[MGNation92]

This team will not go to a bowl game this year. Period.

We're paying our coach a million dollars to get embarrassed. The worst part is our entire fan base outside of this board loves it. They have an excuse to watch football and drink beer. We lose a lot but it's fun! Be positive! 

No culture. No accountability. We deserve this.
