The Wiz of Odds

Cincinnati Brushes Aside Southern Methodist

George W. Bush was among 16,849 fans at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on Saturday, but even the presence of the former president was of no inspiration to Southern Methodist's struggling offense. The Mustangs, who ranked 124th in total offense entering the game, could only muster a field goal against Cincinnati and lost, 41-3.

It's not like the Bearcats' defense was anything special, Cincinnati was 120th in total defense and had been giving up 573.6 yards a game. SMU totaled 276.

North Texas Powerbombs Southern Methodist

Wiz correspondent Greg Laughlin spent Saturday at Apogee Stadium in Denton, Texas, home of the North Texas Mean Green. Southern Methodist was the opponent and North Texas dismantled the Mustangs, 43-6. June Jones' team has scored six points in two games. How's that for offensive wizardry?

A Look at Baylor's New $266 Million McLane Stadium

Baylor played its first game at McLane Stadium on Sunday night and routed Southern Methodist, 45-0. Wiz correspondent Greg Laughlin made the trip to Waco and checked out the 45,140-seat facility, which is built on the banks of the Brazos River. It was the first time the Bears played on campus since 1935. The team played the last 54 seasons at Floyd Casey Stadium, about 4.5 miles away.

The plan is for McLane to play host to year-round entertainment attractions — weddings, tractor pulls, cookoffs, high school games and big concerts. The university will spend more than $450,0000 to subsidize these events in the first year, part of the arrangement made when the school accepted $35 million from the city of Waco.

Southern Methodist

Has it been six years already? It doesn't seem like it, but yes, it was Jan. 8, 2008 when June Jones bolted Hawaii and arrived at Southern Methodist. Jones, 61, might ride it out at SMU. He has a contract through 2017, but he seems to have a wandering eye. Who can remember his flirtation with Arizona State in 2011? For now, Jones is property of the Mustangs, and that's not a bad thing.

Southern Methodist

It was once said that Southern Methodist is the place where you'll see BMWs sporting bumper stickers that read, "My maid went to Texas."

The Mustangs lost to Texas Tech in Week 1 and play host to Montana State this Saturday.

Thanks to Skyler.

Southern Methodist

June Jones enters his fourth season at Southern Methodist and the coach says this will be his best team yet. Seventeen staters return and the Mustangs can make noise early with a victory Sept. 4 at Texas A&M.
