George Dunham’s epic radio rant on his hatred of SMU

Listened to this last night and I loved every bit of it. The Russia State part might be my favorite quote ever.

Russia State is good this year but I really think Russia Tech takes it all.

He needs to talk to the players. I hope Dan takes him up on his offer.

I've already got my stuff set up to semi-meme this later.

We're 2-2 the last four?

We won in Denton in 1990 and lost in University Park in 92. I don't think those were on the link you had.

Greatness.

Thank you. +1

I always tell people I cheer for two college teams every weekend: North Texas, and whoever is playing SMU that week.

down with the ponies!

If SMU played Isis, I'd take Isis and the points

I always say three. North Texas and whoever is playing SMU and ND.

If SMU played Isis, I'd take Isis and the points

If SMU played ISIS, they would be a 30 point dog.

Just sayin...

So only one team this week.

So only one team this week.

Cheer double hard

So only one team this week.

That's right!

I just really don't get the hatred. It isn't sports related. If it were public school vs private school related, why don't we hate TCU just as much?

It just doesn't make any sense.

No hate from my end. I only started following SMU when I started in 07 so the UNT game was the only game I have known.

My best friend went to UNT so I can't do any blanket hate if I tried.

No, I was speaking of some UNT oldtimers' hatred of SMU.

SMU couldn't care one way or the other about UNT.

If SMU played Isis, I'd take Isis and the points

Definitely. I hear their QB is great at throwing bombs.

Russia State is good this year but I really think Russia Tech takes it all.

Putin A&M over Ukrainian State for the title

In their delusional minds they don't…but deep down inside they're threatened by UNT on the Football field. They'll never admit it. But why do you think they've tried so hard to pull as many political strings as possible to keep their distance. They know that should UNT and SMU be in the same conference for example, UNT will crush SMU due to shear size. You said it yourself in another thread…look at the members of this board vs Ponyfans. Look at their pathetic attendance. They've never had any support, from alumni, the city of Dallas, etc. The only thing they supposedly have is $$ and political clout. They've never had any substance….EVER in their football program. EVER They're known by who they were associated with….even though they've never done anything on their own. I think that's where a lot of the hatred comes from. The only time in modern history they've sniffed real success on the football field was a 4 year period in the '80s and everyone knows how they did that. That's their legacy. Cheating. Wanting to belong so bad they'll do anything to get there. Spend spend spend. It's actually pathetic when you think about it. I would care less about their sad state but in the process….some of their fans look down at a school like UNT when they've never earned the right to do that. That's what bothers me...

SMU is a fantastic school. Elite academically. But in football, they know put us on an even playing field, in the same conference, they can't compete with UNT. They have to keep working as hard as they can behind the scenes to make sure something like that never happens. Some will read this and laugh….maybe post it over there with a: "Can you believe this? A UNT grad thinks we're threatened by them. pfft!" But deep down inside they know they are.

And now they're panicking once again because they threw $2 million per year at a coach that may or may not even want to be there, $2 MILLION PER YEAR!!….and now their money can't buy them out of this mess. I cannot believe they agreed to a 10 year deal with UNT. I would say UNT will go 7-3 or 8-2 in the next 10 years vs SMU. They're about to hit a down period after they fire June and have to rebuild. They will start this season 0-6 or 1-5. They'll miss a bowl game again. Then what do they do? Fire a coach they just gave an extension? If he comes back next year, they'll miss a bowl game again as they continue down that spiral. What a freaking mess they are….

And they are crying about it. And reaching back for the stupid "barista" comments and the ridiculous "I've never met a UNT grad." Which that statement in itself lends to the stereotype they hate: "Spoiled little trust fund kids that never get out of their bubble." Because if you've never met a UNT grad in a city with 100,000+ of them then you're daddy's not letting you out of his limo. That whole thing is stupid and supports their reputation as they act like entitled brats.

So…….Not to speak for old-timers……..but maybe that's where some of the hatred comes from.

Trophy.. What should it be? Safeway shopping cart?

So you are saying they are our rivals because we are insecure.

Got it.

I don't think anyone is threatened by UNT athletically. We went 9-4, won a bowl game, then lose the opener the following season by 31 to the school with the most resources in college football and we drop back into someone's bottom 25.

Why?

Perception, that's why.

We all can tell ourselves that we have 200k alum in the Dallas area and we are the sleeping giant that's about to awaken.

Guess what?

No matter whether that is right or wrong, NO ONE BESIDES THIS FAN BASE NOTICES THIS. If you have no concept of the supposed threat, there is absolutely no fear, just blissful ignorance.

As far as the waiter jokes, it's pretty standard stupid Internet stuff. Stuff we do to other schools. Get over it.
