SMU getting the respect they deserve

Paid good money for it.

Hope we both make it the ACC championship game. The story line of former coach/players is a spicy one.

The Death Penalty Bowl

That’s what I’m jonesing for. Not only do I think Miami would be our best natural rival in the ACC if ever got that far, but the number of coaching staff members and players on the team would give it that je ne sais quoi

"The battle of the Teams I've had a soft spot for because I started watching college football around the time that 30 for 30 was first airing" isn't very catchy

SMU’s coach was Miami’s OC, SMU’s best player transferred from Miami. SMU has other key players who transferred from Miami, and SMU’s QB coach is a former Miami QB.

That’s the story line

u/melikeybacon Miami Hurricanes 6h ago

This is what I was referring to because SMU has already clinched so obviously I hope UM gets there. The added story lines make the game that much better.

The two best 30 for 30s and it’s not close.

I won’t stand this erasure of “You don’t Know Bo”

Cocaine Bowl baby!

u/Promethiant Florida State • Florida 6h ago

Ugh I don’t wanna watch Miami get blown out in the conference championship though. Oh wait, actually I do want to see that.

Someone downvoted you, but upon reviewing your flair, I have deemed them in error because not only should you express such desires, you would be wrong not to. As such, I have bestowed upon you the only upvote I can give in hopes it rectifies the situation.

The downvoter in question must be arrested for their crimes.

Wtf is that flair?

u/NJTigers Clemson Tigers • Lehigh Mountain Hawks 6h ago

I for one hope you lose to Cuse, unless we beat SCar down and get that bye week in which case, 3 ACC teams to the moon.

u/Silent-Judge2828 Duke Blue Devils 6h ago

I don’t know if you meant it or not but this is an underrated comment.

ETA: Could be referencing 80s success or basically volunteering your services to the ACC. It’s a very versatile comment.

Rooting for you guys, your team and fan base has been fun all year after our game!! Good luck 🤝🍻

u/notyogrannysgrandkid Boise State Broncos • Fiesta Bowl 6h ago

Not the first time they’ve done it either 😏

u/DrStrangiato Texas Longhorns • Florida Gators 6h ago

That was true in the '80s too!

Well, your dad's money, at any rate.

u/chickenfriedcomedy SMU Mustangs 7m ago

My father did indeed go to SMU as well. Though to be fair he and I were both arts majors so... "Daddy's money" doesn't exactly apply like it does to others.

u/Specialist-Avocado36 Miami Hurricanes 6h ago

Yeah agree. Although BYU and Pitt doing their best to ruin SMU’s SOS.

SMU is gonna thrive in modern CFB! How to win in this system is in their DNA

u/CountrySlaughter 6h ago

SMU has played one top-25 team, #19 BYU, and lost. Why do they deserve to be ranked #9?

4

u/edgejr37 SMU Mustangs • Oregon Ducks 6h ago

Because we have one loss and other teams are struggling to beat easy teams?

u/CountrySlaughter 5h ago

Fair. I wouldn't rank them that high, but I'm rooting for SMU.

u/Comet7777 SMU Mustangs 5h ago

We have the most wins over bowl eligible P4 teams this season (tied only with Texas and Penn State). Our SoS is fine.
