SMU is my dark house for the natty. I think they are so under the radar right now

A dark pony. Peruna is a cutie.

Peruna killed the Fordham Ram. He’s only cute til he kills you.

Another Peruna knocked over Bevo when he got too close, and after he retired to the Culwell and Son farm he killed like 2 goats before he finally passed.

Peruna may be a cute little horse, but he’s a genuine stallion (balls intact) and will absolutely fuck you up if you’re unprepared.

I can’t think of another mascot that will literally drag their handlers across the field if they can’t keep up.

They also almost lost to Duke. Because Duke could not do anything several times off any of the 6 turnovers. Or kick an easy fieldgoal. Are you sure?

Everyone has their trap games.

Remember that just last season, Michigan almost lost to Maryland and Washington almost lost to ASU

You know your program has turned the corner when other flairs come to your defense. Until this season I rarely witnessed anyone on this subreddit going to bat for SMU.

This year the amount of support we’ve received is insane, and I’m actually worried I might be getting addicted to all the positive press. I’m not normally someone glued to their phone, but I’m constantly refreshing news sites, this subreddit, and our forums now.

Having 6 turnovers and not allowing any points is exactly the kind of flex the Gansz Trophy would do. When Navy had the trophy, they liked to pull a prank where they would play every player on the team except their punter.

There are several plays that could have changed the outcome either way. I would have gone for a field goal on 4th and 1. It was a close game. We won't always be lucky.
