I couldn't help but wonder -- when we can provide a consistent winning product how neat it will be.

This stadium is awesome. Great cool weather tonight and great student turnout for a 204 (now 2-5 team). Outstanding tailgating.

So many of the pieces are in place. If we could just have some consistency. It's going to happen it's just a matter of when. GMG

one last thing -- great job by the fans tonight -- loud even after disappointing conversions time after time. Very supportive and engaged fans tonight albeit in a losing cause...

we were bringing it in section 103 last night....i don't have much of a voice today.

Ya, I went down to the section next to you for a bit while my sons were on the sidelines and yes, you guys were loud. The section I was in was a graveyard.

Agreed!!

Did anyone catch the Dan Mullen interview last weekend? Very appropriate for UNT. Everyone at Miss. St. was saying they needed to win to get fans to the game, but he said it was the opposite. He held the theory that if the fans would come and support the team, give home field advantage, etc., that the wins would come. Could be coincidence, but he seems prophetic.

Agreed. The reason you go to the game needs to be mostly about the atmosphere and the good time that you have when going, because that is what you have control over. Wins and losses will come and go. Tailgating is getting better with each passing game. If I were the AD, I would look at things I could do to improve the pre/post game experience.

Yesterday was one of my rare kitchen pass game days. The tailgating keeps getting better. The integration with downtown for post game opportunities that don't involve underage kids slamming shots from plastic well bottles is a huge improvement.

I think I avoided catching any viral infections from the royal inn.

A great afternoon, a great evening, safe if a little sketchy accommodations. 10/10 would buy again.

I couldn't make it to the game and gave my section 105 tickets to a single Mom who is an alum and her preteen son. She hadn't been to a game at Apogee yet and her son had never been to any college game before. The son followed SMU because his aunt works there. After the game, he's a Mean Green fan and Mom's school spirit has returned. This morning at church I was asking them about the game and they were thrilled. I told her I wish we'd won to which she said yes, but the atmosphere was so great they loved the experience.

Yes, we gained fans in a loss.

By the way, she didn't think McNulty was why we lost. She said Creekview High School could move the ball on our defense.

Any insight into the source of the drone hovering around at the beginning of the 3rd? Rice spy tactic?

The athletic department mounts a camera on it and flies it around. Basically if it captures any cool shots those could be used in highlight packages, Beyond the Green, etc. video projects.

      SMU's Last Bowl Win...

      The Mean Green have won 130 conference championships, including 34 since 2000. SMU has been on probation five times between 1974 and 1985, and seven times overall—

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      These players had already chosen to get a free education at a given school when they first committed and they should have factored their degree options/quality into that decision. Now, if after playing for a while, an offer to a BETTER UNIVERSITY (not FB team) for their career is now being offered, then transferring is a valid choice. However, I doubt that is much of a decision factor in the majority of transfers. BTW here's an interesting NCAA site that provides data on graduation, majors, etc. Click on the columns to view different breakdowns, i.e. By Sport. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2018/5/15/division-i-diploma-dashboard.aspx Also, the NCAA claims that graduation rates have been trending up since the reforms in 2002. While this may be true, I suspect it also has to a lot to do with the general increase in college graduation due to the introduction of numerous less-rigorous majors. More information can be found at the additional links found on the following page: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/11/20/media-center-di-graduation-rates-remain-at-highest-level.aspx https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/gradrates/2024/2024D1RES_GSRTrends.pdf

      Only if we can also discuss Death Penalties and 100-point losses.

      How $$$ for only a year

      Seems like a lot of coaches take new jobs right before bowl games. https://gobearkats.com/news/2024/12/1/football-keeler-to-step-down-as-bearkat-head-coach.aspx

      He’s a Kyler Murray starter kit and you would think we’d get the most out of him while we have him, which is at QB. But you and I know we can never underestimate North Texas’ ability to F things up. I haven't witnessed overall team speed on a HS team like like I saw on the NC team yesterday since the 1983 Daingerfield Tigers. Westlake beat North Shore twice this year, the second time badly in the semi’s and NC was making it look like child’s play against them yesterday. A very impressive, dominant season by them for sure.
