Saw that, I'll try and be polite and say perhaps their HC leaving had something to do with that. On the other hand kinda' glad it happened to them.

Agreed. Hope blowout losses are the new norm with Sonny Dykes!

Skip Holtz has been good at La Tech. With SMU's coaching situation it was an obvious ambush. Hopefully La Tech will beat LSU next year in LSU-Troy 2.0.

SMU should be interesting. Skip H. didn't coach his players to make 5 turnovers in the first half. If they would have don that with us we would have scored 70.

Right now the AAC west looks to be Memphis and then everybody else.

Memphis should still be good but they won't be 2017 Memphis, no sir.

The only thing SMU has to fear is fear (panic) itself. That Bowl was a perfect storm and SMU drowned in it. Dykes is a professional and has some things to work with. As long as SMU fans don't do what we ourselves are so capable of doing and assume a disaster before it happens things can work out for them with Dykes.

3-2 in bowls so far this year (wins by Navy, Temple, and USF). 2-0 vs the so-called P5.

Virginia only had 175 yards of offense. Navy didn't complete their pass and finished with 452.

Navy's time of possession was 42 minutes. Sounds like Fritzball on steroids.

Speaking of our beloved Mustangs, Trey Quinn is joining Courtland Sutton in the NFL draft. SMU does have some other good skill players but Ben Hicks will really really miss those two.
