Boulevard Report

At least there’s some good news that came from today… Excited to see what TK can do on the Hilltop.

We were going to keep this story close to the chest, but now it has to come out. We have it on good authority from a credible source close to the team that, the night before the Syracuse game, 12 of our players snuck out of the hotel to go to a strip club. They wore ski masks to prevent cameras from identifying them. We’ve all seen the discipline issues on the field, and we’ve heard stories of certain individual players making poor decisions off the field before games. However, this is evidence of a deeper issue ingrained in the culture of this program. We were told that the players involved faced consequences, but the fact that something like this happened in the first place is unacceptable. Ultimately, when you combine the discipline issues on the field and the lack of accountability with these types of cultural problems off the field, it raises serious questions. To me, it seems that Rhett has built a culture that is not rooted in achieving excellence, being accountable, or properly preparing to compete.

This is an absolute embarrassment. SMU was not ready to play this game. Like we have said before Rhett Lashlee is not the man to lead this team to the promised land. He is not a serious coach. Just pencil in an 8-4 season every year and I hope our billionaire boosters are okay with that.

Rhett Lashlee is a retard Goes for it twice on 4th down on his own 25 yard line But doesn’t on the 40 I disagree with the calls, but at least be consistently retarded dude.

The Stangs are 12-0 in ACC home games, including some impressive wins. This weekend’s matchup is shaping up to be one of the toughest ACC tests we’ve seen at Ford. SMU and Wake Forest fans, how’s everyone feeling heading into tomorrow?

Not that it ultimately matters whether we were No. 25 or unranked heading into this weekend. We just need to win. But how are we going to rank a three-loss Oklahoma State team with losses to a 5-4 G6 Tulsa team and a 4-5 Iowa State team ahead of us?! Ultimately, this should tick off Wake Forest fans because, on the extreme off chance we don’t EXPOSE them this weekend, they won’t earn a ranked win…

I’ve seen a lot of stupid TCU fans acting like SMU needs to “get ready” since everyone has to schedule 10 P4 games going forward… The idiocy of saying, “Oh, we have to schedule The Iron Skillet now” is astounding. Actually, no you guys are the ones who have to go schedule a new game because our coach isn’t a pussy and has real teams on the schedule for the next five years. This rule doesn’t affect us. We replace TCU with LSU, Oklahoma, BYU, and CU over the next 5 years while TCU schedules Southeastern Arkansas State School of the Deaf and Blind to replace us… there are levels to this.

We really lost to this Syracuse team… 🫩

Incredible win by the Stangs tonight! Biggest takeaways: 1. SMU dominated on the ground. This was somewhat surprising given how dominant Virginia Tech’s defensive front has been all year. 6.1 YPC is outstanding. Multiple backs contributed, and SMU did a great job getting outside and attacking the edges. 2. Rhett did a great job tonight. He kept things simple and stuck with a balanced attack through the air and on the ground. I know I can harp on Rhett, but I’m always willing to give him his flowers when he calls a good game. 3. We scored on our first possession. It’s always been part of Rhett’s style to take the ball first. This year, though, it’s felt like a bit of a thorn in our side, with too many slow starts that put us behind the eight ball. Tonight, we took the ball, marched right down the field, scored, and never lost the lead. That was a huge key to the game. 4. The SMU defense forced a turnover. This hasn’t been a strength of this year’s team, but tonight’s timely fumble recovery, which led to a 20-7 lead, helped take the life out of the Hokies. 5. Kevin Jennings played great. He controlled the passing game, and if it weren’t for a tipped-pass interception with the game already out of reach, this would have been his fifth straight game without an interception. SMU fans, give me your thoughts on the game. What will you be looking for heading into a huge game next weekend?

Well, SMU fans, there’s been a lot of gloom over the past week. But contrary to how we may all be feeling about this team right now, we still have a lot in front of us. Win out in conference play, and a trip to Charlotte is still very much a possibility. That said, this team hasn’t given us a whole lot of reason for optimism heading into a tough stretch of games. But it starts tonight. Let’s go beat Va Tech and then stack a few wins. What are your thoughts heading into tonight, Mustang fans?

Coming off a game in which he took 6 sacks, all eyes will be on Kevin Jennings' ability to counter Virginia Tech's ferocious defensive line Friday night. The Hokies rank 2nd nationally in havoc rate, 6th in sacks, 1st in tackles for loss, and 1st in stuff rate. They're also allowing just 3.0 yards per carry. Their ability to create negative plays and put offenses behind the chains does not bode well for an SMU offense coming off a game against Syracuse in which its average 3rd down distance was 10+ yards. Especially with Virginia Tech coming off a bye while SMU is playing on short rest, the Hokies' defensive line should have some extra juice getting after Kevin. SMU fans, how confident are you in the Mustangs' ability to bounce back at home?

SMU averaged over 12 turnovers per game last year, resulting in a negative turnover margin. NOT GOOD. One of the biggest keys for this SMU basketball team will be cutting down on turnovers, especially in ACC play. Last night, SMU turned the ball over 21 times. You can get away with that against Southern, but this will be a long year if we can’t take care of the ball. Offensively, it doesn’t look like we have a “guy” right now. Someone who can just go out and get a bucket when you need it. I hope that changes. Obviously, it’s only one game into the season, so the verdict is still out. I was pleased to see how efficient we were with the shots we did put up, though. We shot it at a 51/41/80 clip. Hopefully, we can continue that throughout the season.

1 game into the season and this SMU MBB team is worse then anyone could have imagined. It is going to be a long season for Coach Enfield… and hopefully his last.

BREAKING: SMU Head Coach Rhett Lashee to step down as playcaller. Top 3 donor Bill Armstrong will take over play calling duties, with a first of its kind Coach Comm system installed in his Epoch Wine Bar. @ToddFromTheVoid reports.

Anything to distract from the poor product on the field.

This is now SMU’s 10th 11 a.m. conference game in the last two seasons, by far the most in the ACC. Let’s look at how other teams with comparable success have fared: Louisville: 3 games Virginia: 3 games Sewer-dweller Florida State: 2 games Glad to see the ACC continues to suck up to garbage programs like FSU and Clemson to beg them not to leave for the SEC, rather than promote its premier programs (the SEC doesn’t want them anyways).

This is what losing to Syracuse will do for you…
