Great writeup!

1. SMU (14-6-3)

A young Mustang squad was written off early last season after an 0-4 start (including exhibition losses to Akron and Connecticut) but rebounded to advance to the College Cup semis, where they fell to eventual champ Maryland. This year, don't be surprised to see the Dallas school win it all. Legendary coach Schellas Hyndman (23rd year, .772 winning percentage) returns eight starters. Sophomore F Paulo da Silva is poised for a breakout year after notching five tourney goals in 2005. Senior M Jay Needham is on the Hermann watch list, and transfers Scott Geppert (Brown) and Ben Shuleva (St. John's) should contribute right away. Another strong non-conference schedule combined with valuable experience a year ago (SMU were the ultimate road warriors, knocking off UCLA, UNC-Greensboro and North Carolina on the way to the Final Four) will pay off in a big way this fall.

Article says that New Mexico draws 7000+ a game. If we could half of that it would be great.

It seems to me you have to seek out their schedule, otherwise you have no idea they are playing at all.

Hopefully we will get better marketing of all of our programs from Orsini.

Living in the DC area the television stations ran a number of stories when Maryland went to the finals about Maryland's crowds which are intimidating. They stand behind the other team's goalie and are really nasty (ask Wildeman about that). Some of the players should go to the frat houses and show them tape of the Maryland game and say, why can't we do this at SMU? What's stopping you guys. If we get some home intimidation, it will help the team immensely. If the refs try and stop it, Hyndemann can say, "Why didn't you do something about it at the Soccer Cup?"
