Really sucks its once again on the same day as Day of The Dead and against a likely tough opponent, but unlike last year, I don't think we had much of a choice. Our October schedule is rough with only 1 home game, 2 road games, and a Bye.

I think it has more to do with they don't know how many people are going to renew their tickets before the deadline. Once they know that then they can start to slot everyone based on MGSF points. My only complaint is that I couldn't renew my season ticket online because they were trying to charge me an extra $240. I had an extra seat charged to me for $190 and they raised my MGSF contribution by $50.

It's 100% going to be Tulane. UNT always has homecoming late October/early November. Last year we could have scheduled homecoming on 10/14 against dreadful Temple, but for whatever reason we opted for the much harder opponent, Memphis, on 10/28. This was also the same day as Denton's Day of the Dead Festival, which made the decision even more odd. I've never heard a reason why, but come hell or high water, UNT wants their homecoming later in the year. Even if the date doesn't make much sense like last year.

Weird thing is I don't think he got a lot of NIL money. That's not something Cal is known for.

Agreed he tends to let his homerism show in his writing, but I think he only has them ranked 1 spot too high. I would put Houston ahead of UTSA. They have more talent on paper and have proved it on the field the last two years. I can't really argue with UNT's rank. Our offense is a question mark and I don't think we've done enough to fix our defense.

Does anyone know if there are pictures of the West Prairie St Pub? Looks like it closed years before my drinking days and I was curious to see what it looked like. I searched online and couldn't find anything.

Looks like they get the whole week off now. Back in my days as a student (2008-2011), students were expected to attend class Monday and Tuesday while Wednesday was unofficially "off".

Because we haven't had a winning season since 2018.

Guys, Big Gamer Boomer is mostly a troll account. The lists mean nothing. It’s all BS with no research behind it. Its only purpose is to generate clicks.

Graduate transfers shouldn’t exist. None of these guys care about getting a graduate degree. It’s all being done to get a NIL bag. To prevent these mass exoduses, transfers should work something like this: First transfer: No penalty. Second transfer: Miss 6 games. Third transfer: Miss season.

DCTF released their All-Texas Teams today. Great to see Chandler Rogers recognized on the second team after being snubbed by the AAC. Only big complaint is Frank Harris winning "Best QB". Quinn Ewers, Chandler Rogers, and Preston Stone all had better years. Probably should have gone to Stone or Ewers since they both had great seasons and led their teams to the best finishes in the state.

At least do DCTF the courtesy of posting the link... https://www.texasfootball.com/college-power-poll/?ref=subnav

Technically against forum rules to post links to articles that require a subscription to read. Just saying…

0% chance this is actually the case. There's no way Frank Harris tied for best QB, while Rogers got zero votes. This was orchestrated by the conference to make sure certain guys were awarded for their careers rather than who was the best in 2023.

Definitely some back door politics going on. Stone, Hennigan, and Rogers all deserve to be above Harris. Rogers not even making the Honorable Mentions is super sketchy. Seems like the AAC was more concerned with honoring careers rather than what happened this season.

We’ve been underwhelming the last few years. Of course attendance is going to suffer. What’s SMU’s excuse? String of solid seasons, moving to the ACC, chance for 10 wins, and spot in the conference championship and yet maybe only 12K show up? Really screams P5 material.

Clear you were leaving? Y'all were denied by the Big 12, ACC, and Pac 12 before the ACC got desperate enough to finally allow you admission if you played for free. P.S. SMU fanbase really showed up to support the best season in decades on Saturday 🙄 maybe when the last home game is against Boston College people will finally care *sarcasm*

He won't risk it. UTSA will be rebuilding next year. Good chance they don't even make a bowl. Traylor will take any P5 job he finds mildly attractive.

1. The defense was 100% a rebuild this season. I don’t have the exact numbers but we lost 5 or 6 of our top tacklers from last year’s already bad unit. Can’t really argue with the grades though. Hopefully, a lot of guys are told to enter the portal the next couple weeks. 2. Most people had us wining 5 to 7 games this year. Giving Morris an F grade for finishing on the low end of what was expected is unjustified. No one thought we were going to contend for a conference title, so for you to now say we should have been in the hunt is just an attempt to justify your harsh grade. That said, I agree, we should be a bowl team. The FIU and Navy losses were unacceptable. I’d give Morris a “C+”. The offense exceeded all expectations and we closely competed with the top teams in the conference. I don’t expect that to change next year. With a revamped defense, I expect we’ll take a step forward. 3. IMO, your WR and OL grades are too generous. OL had massive protection issues all year. Especially, against the blitz. It’s what cost us the Navy game. And our WRs had way too many drops to get an A+. Outside of Maclin, the rest of the room is average. I’d give the OL a “C” and WRs a “B+”.

I think Traylor is good enough to win without Harris. That said, he's also smart enough to see big rebuild UTSA is heading for next year with the departure of Harris and about a half dozen other key starters. He doesn't want a 5-7 season to hurt his stock. He's going to do everything he can to get out of San Antonio this season.

It didn't seem to hurt their recruiting...Kids aren't going to care what their HS coach thinks about a program when that program's boosters are giving them a massive NIL bag. He's getting fired because he runs an outdated offense, couldn't win on the road, and wasn't competing for SEC titles.

Blame it on what you want, but it was a mistake by Buggs. That ball was his if he goes for it. Instead he back pedals away from the ball and gives SJ an easy possession.

You think SMU fans are suddenly going to start showing up in droves for BC and Pitt? I doubt it. Florida State will garner a lot of interest and TCU (maybe BYU) will fill your stadium for you, but outside of that it will be the typical 19K-24K crowds.

Outside of FSU, there's no one on SMU's home schedule fans care about.
