SMU (2/11/24)

[Matt from A700]

Sorry, @CMJ but the Mean Green are now 2-0 when I start the game thread this year.

Huge that we're not trying to break a losing streak at SMU.

[Matt from A700]

And again, a reminder to get your asses to Moody Coliseum this Sunday... not like you gotta prepare for the Cowboys playing in the Super Bowl or anything!!

We have a group of about 40 now. SMU won't open up anymore lower level seating to expand our group, so SeatGeek may be able to get you a better deal. Otherwise, expanding our group into the upper level will range from $15-$50 a seat, and I am glad to help anyone with that.

Well I wore my green underpants to the USF game the other night and we lost for the first time with me in green underpants, so I don't know what the hell is going on...

Did you wash them between games?

Most of the times. Do you think I should stop?

I patted our administration on the back, for our home game against the Mustangs. We hyped that game to the MAX and the turnout & results were rewarded. I received countless emails and texts, promoting that game. That said, having bought tickets from SMU, for our football game last season, I've received a couple of emails from them since that game for various events of theirs. I have not received ONE text or ONE email from them about our game at Moody. This game will have a totally different dynamic, than the build up UNT did hosting the Mustangs last month. This game is at lunch time, on Super Bowl Sunday. I wouldn't expect much of a turnout from SMU fans, UNT could easily have 70% of the attendance.

My Hulu TV guide shows it on ESPN2 as does other guides. Looks like it may be FAU-Wichit State followed by SMU-UNT on ESPN2 this sunday!

If we win, you leave them alone.

[Green Otaku]

Yeah I thought I saw this was an ESPN2 game for us.

[UNTLifer]

The schedule on MeanGreenSports.com shows "The U".

Back to game talk, I hope Noland is ready to roll.  SMU's backcourt is very athletic and we need Noland to help bring the ball up.  Rubin would be a plus, but I really want them both ready to roll against Memphis.  Outside of one bad pass, I think Moore looked better against Tulsa.  He needs to look for his shot when open as well.  

[GMG_Dallas]

Officially on ESPN 2 per ESPN app.

I just fixed your post to be more accurate, regardless of date/time/anything else going on.  

[MeanGreenTexan]

Anyone know if CJ and/or Rubin will be ready for this one?

I don't have a good feeling about this game if neither can go.

Nah, the frats and sororities will be paid for their time I'm sure.

At this point i would assume Rubin is out until the conference tourney

[greenminer]

Am I the only one thinking we won't see Rubin until the end of Feb?

I know we don't want to talk about it, but the coaches should be thinking about playing his health conservatively.  We want him full steam ahead for the tournament.

I don't think we see either until March.

Agreed. You can’t do anything with a hammy or groin injury except be patient.

Any thoughts on team chemistry at that point? The longer he is out, the more the team builds chemistry without him. To reinsert him would not yield expected results. Reminds me of Nolan Smith & Kyrie Irving. Inserted Kyrie (dropped 30 if I remember correctly) and lost in Rd 1. Kyrie goes #1 in the draft and Nolan/Duke win the MNC to following year.
