You guy's are OBSESSED with lil' ole' SMU. What is the deal???

Firefightnrick.......... man I wrestled to dispute anything in your memory of what appears to be a great day in meangreen history. But I just got back from Church and I have to tell the truth. If you force me into it, I can dig out the recruiting ratings for those two years. It will be pretty ugly!LOL! Tranfers were Tre Giller from Richardson, Tx. He transferred back to SMU from OU, after being third team on their depth chart. And a friend of mine Michael Bowen, he was a 5-7 walk-on receiver at Georgia. That TCU game you referred to.........SMU played TCU close for a quarter, and then we were blown out by halftime. The quarterback Romo, had an offer from Rice until he tore up his knee his senior year in high school. Giller had several offers before he went to OU. Receiver Jason Wolf had several div. 1 offers, but he was injured, and I am not sure if he even played in this clash. And thats about it. The 1989 team that beat NT 35-9, had 15 redshirt freshman, and 25 true freshman players on scholarship. That team went 2-9, with it's other win coming against then division 2 U Conn. The 1990 team beat Vandy in the opener, then lost 10 straight! The next season, SMU went 1-10 as well. For years after the DP, SMU has been one of the WORST teams in America. But you were correct on the info on Forrest Gregg. I am NOT trying to stir the pot. Just passing on facts. Good luck against the horns!

Whoa! Thats pretty harsh! Because you would be insulting a lot of your fellow alums.

Howdy mean greeners! Let me introduce myself......... I am not an alum of SMU, but live in Dallas and have been a fan for a loooooooong time. I was at the game in Dallas in 89 (first year post death penalty) that SMU won 35-9. I was in Denton, (second year post dp) Meangreen won 14-7. That second season, SMU may have had 6 or 8 players on an all freshman and soph. team that received div. 1 offers. The SMU player that dropped the pass, with 40 seconds left was Andy Bergfield. My memories from that game as I sat on the pressbox side are............I was surprised, at how fired up North Texas fans and players were! It was kind of surreal, like it was a BIG bowl game or something. The feeling I had, was that the meangreen nation was capable of violence! LOL! Judging by the halftime brawl, my feelings were correct. I pulled out my media guide, and you guys have played SMU once more, 1992 in Dallas......with SMU winning 28-14. The attendance was 10,200. That's a pretty bad crowd! Romon Flannigan played as a freshman that day, and I remember him throwing a touchdown bomb to Brian Berry. Good luck against the horns! Oh by the way........I have a couple of good friends in their early forties, a couple of relatives in their late twenties and early thirties......and they all refer to the meangreen as NTS and UNT, so I think some of you guys are being a little paranoid about SMU posters using the NTS. I prefer SMU compared to Southern Methodist University. But what are ya gonna do! Right!
