Hi sports fans, here we go again.

It’s been a few years since I’ve done this – let’s recap.

• 2011 Prediction: 8-4, Reality: 7-5
• 2012 Prediction: 8-4, Reality: 6-6
• 2013 Prediction: 5-7, Reality: 5-7
• 2014 Prediction: 7-5, Reality: 1-11 (the head coach resigned in September, it was an ugly year)

Since then I skipped 2015 and 2016, perhaps I was afraid that I had played some role in the 2014 debacle, or perhaps I forgot/was lazy. In 2015 SMU hired a new coach, Chad Morris, and they went 2-10. In 2016 they went 5-7.

Now we are in the coaches third season, let’s take a wild, uneducated stab at their schedule. My knowledge of SMU’s abilities and those of their opponents are based solely on … I don’t even know what. It’s like that thing when you start saying something and you hope something good will come to your mind and you just dazzle everyone. That’s where my knowledge comes from.

• 9/2 vs SFA … Victory
• 9/9 vs North Texas … Victory
• 9/16 @ TCU … Loss
• 9/23 vs Arkansas State … Loss
• 9/30 vs Connecticut … Victory
• 10/7 vs Houston … Loss
• 10/21 @ Cincinnati … Victory
• 10/27 vs Tulsa … Loss
• 11/4 vs UCF … Victory
• 11/11 @ Navy … Loss
• 11/18 @ Memphis … Victory
• 11/25 vs Tulane … Victory

Total record: 7-5.

SMU football, you old friend/foe, I try to set my expectations low so that I won’t be frustrated but … I know you, you’ll still find ways to hurt my heart. LET’S DO THIS! FOOTBALL!!!
