Game over. SMU 6-0.

This is so scheissing depressing.

They'll still lose a few. They will still be playing in a pre-Christmas bowl game

This is so scheissing depressing.

Really? I can’t possibly fathom tying any amount of my happiness to an SMU football game. Good for them.

 

[MTfrog5]

We don’t have one WR who would even run that clean of a route

Goodness that’s depressing to think about and then agree with

Are you sure?

I remember A&M vs LSU went to 7 OTs last year and didn’t do that.

Yes they did. It was insane that they kept ending each period tied.

 

[LVH]

Very true. We proved it today.

I honestly think that our detractors when we were in the MWC had a point about week in and week out.

Yes our teams in the MWC were capable of playing up to any opponent, but what was missed is we won some games where we played like [ Finebaum ](off the top of my head, Colorodo State in 2008, UNLV and New Mexico in 2009 and San Diego State in 2010). Can't get away with that in the Big 12.

That's the difference between the Big 12 and AAC

You can play like [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] and still win in the AAC

If SMU plays a game like they played tonight in a P5 league they lose by 20+.

We won plenty of games in the MWC playing like [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] that we lose easily against a Big 12 opponent.

We have seen what happens when you have to play better players. Better programs. Player talent and intensity just makes it that much harder.

That's ok. TCU might not be playing in any bowl.

At least they'll be in a bowl. We're probably sitting bowl season out this year.

 

[Moose Stuff]

you have to get a kicker in range. can't waste plays there.

They lost yards on the first run. And with that kicker no range was gonna be safe.

 

[TooColdU]

Yes they did. It was insane that they kept ending each period tied.

No they didn’t. The new rule I’m talking about is once the 5th OT starts, the ball is placed at the 3-yard line instead of the 25 for each possession.

 

[Mean Purple]

That's ok. TCU might not be playing in any bowl.

If we were in that conference, we would.
Tulsa is not a great team. That showed. I think SMU loses two. Still should have a shot at a Conf. title.

 

[Mean Purple]

You still have to go with high percentage. Not having any points took a lot of pressure off SMU.

 

[Chongo94]

Are you sure?

I remember A&M vs LSU went to 7 OTs last year and didn’t do that.

Yeah, can’t remember when they changed it but I do believe they did.

Of course they did.

This is kinda how I feel. I am one of those who doesn’t view them as a real rival so I think it’s kind of neat they’re doing well...wish we were, however.

I get it. You disagree me. I was OK with the play call.

Exactly. You have to show up for every game at this level. That team we had that won the Rose Bowl was great. Rare, but I don't think they could have gotten buy with those close saves in the then BCS leagues.
We have seen it now. We have better players, way more team speed, but we can't even stay healthy.

Doesn't matter SMU is bowl eligible and could play in the New Years Six Bowl. Odds are TCU won't do that. Good for SMU. Ponies needs a QB transfer and landed one and it is paying off for them.

 

[TooColdU]

Yeah, can’t remember when they changed it but I do believe they did.

Found it. I guess the new rule is a direct response to that LSU vs A&M 7 OT game.

They aren't running the table.
