As a Military Brat, and especially as the son of a West Pointer, Go, Army, Beat Navy was a common phrase in my house. This Saturday Army will be taking on Navy and I’m hoping for the correct outcome. Here are some spirit videos with the usual blend of humor.
Ok folks, tonight is SMU’s season opener and it’ll be a tough one (so tough that I am expecting to only be able to watch a half before I am too sad to fully pay attention). Let’s ignore that for now and look back at my record so far.
In 2011 I predicted the Mustangs would go 8-4. Instead they went 7-5, winning a bowl game to bring them to 8-5. (I didn’t predict all of the games correctly, for example I thought they’d lose to TCU but they actually beat them.)
In 2012 I predicted the Mustangs would go 8-4 … Instead they went 6-6 (overall 7-6 because of a bowl game win).
My prediction skills, like the Mustangs abilities, apparently decreased.
With that in mind, here are my 2013 predictions!
Anywho, time to get down to it!
| 8/30 | v Texas Tech | Nope. Nope nope nope. |
| 9/7 | v Montana State | Bounce back game! |
| 9/21 | @ Texas A&M | I may skip watching this one |
| 9/28 | @ TCU | Victory! (It’s unlikely but why not?) |
| 10/06 | Rutgers (Family Weekend) | Loss |
| 10/13 | @ Memphis | Win |
| 10/18 | v Temple (Homecoming) | Win |
| 10/27 | @ Cincinnati | Loss |
| 11/03 | v Connecticut | Win |
| 11/10 | @ USF | Loss |
| 11/17 | @ Houston | Loss |
| 11/24 | v UCF | Loss |
Overall predicted record: 5-7. (And I have to admit, that’s optimistic.)
2013 will be a year of cheering on SMU without getting too into the games so that I can avoid frustration and anger. Or, I’ll just listen to or watch games and get angry – turn on my NCAA football game and play that while continuing to listen/watch and at least in the virtual world SMU will be good.

Dear Ellen,
I have a sneaking suspicion that this postcard was made by a Rice grad. Or maybe some rival of UH’s.
