SMUt ends season at 6-6, Rice is 7-5.   Too bad , so sad...not!    biggrin.gif

I guess our victory of them did something - it kept them out of a bowl game!

And Rice gets to go to a bowl for the first time since 1961. I think we all know how great it feels to finally got that bear off of your back!

I'm not sure with Orsini... he seems pretty quick to pull the trigger.

I think that Rice going 1-10 to 7-5 in one year with the same players, and Tulsa going from 1-11 to 8-5, and following that with 3/4 bowls makes Bennett look bad. Both of those programs were in as bad of shape as SMU, and it didn't take those coaches nearly as long to turn around.

Also, the talent isn't as bad as when Bennett came. So replacing Bennett with a good coach doesn't seem as bad. The cupboard isn't nearly as bare as when Cavan was replaced.

And he has experience at SMU. PLus, he'll bring along an OC who was a former SMU QB! smile.gif

And is a proven winner with 4 consecutive conference championships and bowl appearances.

      Place yer bets on the Bowl Game

      This is fine, I guess. I'm kinda with everyone else saying we shouldn't root for a TXSt. matchup. It's one of those scenarios where it's really bad for us if we lose, and "eh" if we win. This should be a LATech/LAMo scenario where we attempt to stonewall that effort for literally anything else. Honestly, I like this option best. This spares many of our fans from having to witness in person (and also saves NT the embarrassment of a poor turnout in our own backyard), and if you happen to be rich enough to fly out to HI for a bowl game, at least you're in HI!

      Should OSU Fire Ryan Day

      Proving you give a shit about our program since you can't quit us. You show up around here like the clap on a UH sorority girl.

      Exactly. Being blown out by another Texas program that is typically ranked beneath us would be the ultimate way to unravel any positive momentum of getting into a bowl game in the first place. Over two seasons, Morris is 0-9 vs FBS teams that finished the regular season with a winning record and 1-2 against those that finished 6-6. We shouldn't be favored against any team, but if we play someone like 6-6 Western Michigan, it should at least be competitive--and the negative effects of losing would be pretty minimal. It would have no effect on our standing with our potential recruits. Keep in mind that the Frisco Bowl is going to happen one week after the portal opens, which means the week leading up to it will be filled with announcements of our players leaving (along with the two weeks following it). Getting an absolute kick to the crotch in that game that we might be playing with a bunch of backups on offense could really set things back, heading into the offseason.

      One of my sons goes to UCF. Fans are giddy he is leaving. The only trend in play here is a coach leaving before he got fired.

      I have never heard of or seen anything that suggested that “the NCAA has long since acknowledged had they known the fallout from SMU that the death penalty would’ve never been on the table.” Please cite this reference. And why do ponyfans and cougarfans continue to monitor GOMEANGREEN.COM ?
