S - M - Who?

Maybe you haven't noticed, and judging from the attendance you haven't, but the SMU Mustangs have put together quite a little season. Aside from being trounced by Texas Tech and an embarrassing loss to North Texas, the Ponies have combined for over 100 points in their last two games, and quarterback Justin Willis has already thrown for ten touchdowns this season (I just stared at that sentence for about five minutes, and it still doesn't look right). Really? SMU is in the top half of offense and defenses in the nation? How is this possible? Going into the season, I would have seen this being about as likely as me starting off my fantasy football season 0-3. Oh, wait...I am 0-3.

(By the way, there is nothing worse than talking an insurmountable amount of trash going into a fantasy football season, having a mediocre draft and then proceeding to lose your first three games. Now I am picking up scraps on the waiver wire hoping the guys like Chris Henry can produce all season, and regretting the fact that Daunte Culpepper is throwing to my wide receiver and tight end. Damn, you. In fact, this might lead you to do something drastic like put your entire team on the trading block, and call your girlfriend to tell her that neither of you are eating for the next month or so. Not...that I...ugh...did either of these.)

Another mind blowing stat is that QB Justin Willis is the fifth rated passer in the NCAA. No, you read that correctly, SMU quarterback Justin Willis is the fifth rated passer in the NC freaking AA. Did anyone see this coming? Is there any reasonable explanation for this? I mean did God spill a Coke on the machine he punches in his college football scores on causing the SMU offense to explode? If this is the case does it explain Notre Dame's struggles? I need answers.

Regardless, I am sports-giddy about the whole thing. Add to this, that the H-Man hooked us up with a catered luxury box and we are rolling. The best part about the box, other than the free food and being able to annoy the real old alumni, is that last week Drew passed out in chair in the back of the box, and also the fact that we could see our buddy RT in the front row of the student section leading cheers along with his former cheerleading brethren. Just silly.

Anyways, in the name of college football I have the folowing for you. One is my buddy Conway. The other is Notre Dame coach Charlie Weiss. Which is which? You be the judge.





















And it only gets more confusing when you add this...

















Honestly, I just don't know what to think.
