2011 SMU Football Schedule – A Fan’s Take

SMU, my dear alma mater, used to be great at football (when they cheated massive amounts). Now we probably only cheat as much as any other school (well, except for the schools that are being caught), and that makes things tougher.

We’ve got a tough schedule this year, and yet hope springs eternal. According to Sports Ratings SMU will be looking at a 6-6 season, but I’m hoping for 8-4. Let’s check it out.

9/4- @ Texas A&M

  • Cartoon gulp. 0-1

9/10 – Texas El Paso

  • Ok, let’s do this. 1-1

9/17 – Northwestern State

  • Eh? Sure … 2-1

9/24 – @ Memphis        

9/30 – @ TCU

  • Hope springs eternal!! 3-2

10/15 – UCF

  • Time to bounce-back!(?) 4-2

10/22 – @ Southern Miss

  • Eh. 4-3

10/29 – @ Tulsa

  • Pleeeeeasssee (Roger Rabbit style)! 5-3

11/5 – Tulane

  • FINISH HIM! 6-3

11/12 – Navy

  • GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY! (Also go SMU!) 7-3

11/19 – @ Houston

  • I may be there!! (Probably sad though.) 7-4

11/26 – Rice

  • Pillow fiiiiight! 8-4

For good measure, the old fight song … Yeah, I’m excited about their football season. So sue me!

FYI About Tags

This blog is self-serving. I want to get published. It’d be awesome, and hopefully people would enjoy reading things I write (and had published).

I’m doing this blog because it’s fun, and to shoot for this goal. As part of this I am trying to advertise myself a bit.

Starting a month or two ago I’ve been adding the following tags to every post I do: brad, stanley, brad stanley, gangly, awkward silence.

Why? The first few are obvious – they’re my name.

But gangly and awkward silence are because of this logic: how AWESOME would it be if I became associated with either of those phrases? That would be amazing!

Recently the girlfriend unit discovered a blog post about which she said: “HAHA… if you just omit the second to last paragraph… this is shockingly true!”

The blog post is about TGD’s … Tall, Gangly Dudes. As a member of the tall, gangly dude club, I was happy to hear that this stranger is a fan of my people. And I totally agree that I see tall, gangly people and I think they look kind of funny. Like a rubber-band and a human had a baby.

Anyway – just letting you know that I, Brad Stanley, would like to be considered gangly, and associated with the phrase ‘awkward silence.’

The stellar report card from the random fellow-blogger is here.
