I'm still not convinced that SMU is going to be the cakewalk that everyone on here thinks it'll be. I promise you, we will be thanking our lucky stars if we can get out of their with a one touchdown victory. We aren't coming off of a HOD bowl win this time. We don't have Akunne and Lee anymore busting heads on D. The defense went into Austin last year jacked up and played pretty well except for being on the field WAY TOO MUCH due to our anemic offense that can be planted squarely on the shoulders of the two quarterbacks that played. The defense got up again for the SMU game and was able to win the game with the help of our RBs in spite of the quarterback play. I'm worried about not having a headbuster like Lee at safety.

While I will agree Manziel trusted Evans to go get some balls he threw up for grabs, he threw many that were dead on to Labhart, Swopes and company. Manziel's greatest assets were his running ability and escapability. McNulty could only dream of Manziel's level of those two assets.

Disagree. I attended the worst game.

I'm surprised at how many people are calling for Briles' head and Baylor sanctions. Has anyone noticed what goes on at FSU as Jimbo cashes his checks?

Is it not possible that Peterson is being a bit shady? Question, no info.

+1 for Woody Wilson reference Based on the timing of my beginnings in watching college football in the mid-90s, I think Tommie Frazier would by my #1.

Below I've posted the article in its entirety. I have bolded the things he did at Boise. I fail to see how one violent outburst (not of a sexual nature) is supposed to end his FBS career. How did he turn every female on campus into a potential victim? Every girl had the potential to be his girlfriend, and had the potential to get into a domestic dispute with him, and the potential that he may break a window during said domestic dispute? I'm not saying this guy is a saint or even if he deserved a shot at Baylor. I am saying that this writing is garbage and this guy is making HUGE leaps in his story. The only thing Briles did wrong IMO is not keep better tabs on the kid while he was at Baylor, same could be said for Texas though. (Meander and Sanders anybody?)

This was my initial thought as well, like when SMU got too good too fast in the 80s. Yes they cheated but they certainly weren't the only ones. It's Baylor's turn to be taken down by the "traditional powers".

Whoops, Commerce's head coach is what I meant. Colby Carthel, the HC at Commerce, was the DC for his father Don at WTAMU.

Ridiculous story. So this means every athlete with a temper who breaks a window in front of his girlfriend is a likely rapist and a threat to every woman on campus? Get real, the story says nothing of rape at Boise, only a rage issue.

I wouldn't expect anything better from a committee headed by a writer from the Austin American Statesman, especially Kirk Bohls. It doesn't matter how good we were in the 60s and 70s, they view our school as insignificant because they are elitists. Look how many G5 selections they have in total, 6. The P5 with the fewest, the Pac12, has more than that with 7. They have 6 on there from Nebraska alone.

Strange world Commerce's head coach appears to be Don Carthel's son. I remember Don's name coming up several times during our past coaching searches.

I hope he does really well and gets to transfer back to FBS. He has that level of talent, the situation just never seemed to work out here.

I'll riding the rail to Mockingbird from somewhere north on 75, not sure the station yet. I'm hoping to find a Mean Green tailgate to stop by when I get to SMU that isn't $20-30 per person.

It is probably best to give the students priority for the bus seats as their transportation options are likely more limited than those of the alums. Does the DART rail go from Denton to Mockingbird? I know I took it from Frisco to Mockingbird in '07.

I guess I wouldn't be so sensitive if we hadn't underthrown so many balls last year. Looking at you 5.

If that is the case, what were they working on in the summer that Vito touted in his writings? I guess I don't understand the point of throwing out of a drill to a target that is moving at a speed that you are never going to see in a game. Stationary targets, I get that, we run a lot of quick out/wr screen garbage anyhow.

Rinse and repeat. I was always taught to practice how you play. The timing on these guys' throws are going to be off in the games because they aren't throwing to targets moving at game speed.

That is true but there are several tweets and each one the qbs run through a drill and throw it to a stationary or loafing receiver.

There is no reason we shouldn't bring 10k+ to this game.. Anyone remember how many we took back in '07, I know it was several thousand.

Wish qbs could practice throwing to a sprinting target rather than ones just loafing. I'm sure the corners at SMU will just let Carlos jog by them on a corner route for a TD.

Something else I've noticed in watching these qb videos, the qbs are either throwing to a jogging target or a stationary one. Shouldn't we practice how we play and have the route runners going full speed? Seems like they could pull some freshman wrs and Shanbour and have them run full speed routes to get used to game ready throws.
