Ben Gooding · June 10, 2015

Let's just turn ford green and take care of business in ford stadium. That'll shut these douche bags up, at least momentarily.

Hahahahaha.
Congrats, UNT, you were fortunate enough to whip us last year after our $2M/year coach quit on us. We just replaced him with a significantly better, more expensive coach and we pay our basketball coach $2.5M+ a year as well. I'm 26 and I'll have grandchildren before you guys ever pay a coach that much money.
Yea, we scheduled Arkansas State home and home. "untjim1995" seems to think "this shows how low on the totem pole SMU really is," but if we were to use his brilliant logic, where does that put Texas Tech (just scheduled UTEP home and home), Kentucky (just scheduled Southern Miss home and home), and Mississippi State (just scheduled a three game series with UMass)? Hey Jim, please let me know when was the last time UNT hosted a P5 conference opponent?
I also love the shot at our basketball program about to be on "probation." God, I wish I could trade our basketball program about to lose one scholarship for yours with Tony Benford having no winning seasons and no postseason berths. That sounds exciting!

Dude--I never said anything about UNT being higher on the totem pole than you guys. Your money, your history, and your location will always keep you above us until you give up football. Texas Tech is playing a regional rival they have played many times before in UTEP. UK wanted a regional opponent with a good name that happens to be way down compared to where they used to be (which is why UK is scheduling them now). No idea why Miss State would play UMass, except for it being an easy team to beat in OOC play before the SEC gauntlet gets going. That doesn't even compare to G5 SMU playing a series with G5 Arkansas State in a home-and-home.

We hosted a P5 team at Apogee in 2011. We also hosted the worst FBS team in the country last year that thinks they are a P5, but in reality are just like the rest of us in the G5. And we beat that pile of crap 43-6, only because they scored a Hail Mary TD on the last play of the game not to get shutout. And we finished 4-8. And that team that sucked donkey balls last year has no measurably better talent this year on their roster. Maybe they will soon, since they are paying millions for an unproven coordiantor to be a head coach for the first time. But my guess is that Chad Morris is going to turn out to be nothing more than the offensive version of Phil Bennett.

We don't like you people from SMU. You kept us of the SWC, which led to us basically giving up on Division 1 football for 12 freaking years. We survived this, barely, to move back up to Division 1, only to find out that yall wouldnt play us, even though we played you guys three times after your Death penalty ended to give you help again. When we finally start building our program into something kind of decent, you make sure that your conference (CUSA) won't offer us an invite, but instead you announce you're throwing your support to poduck Louisiana Tech--I guess you really felt like the Shreveport-Monroe market was going to be a coup for your conference. So that keeps us in the sad-sack SBC for more years to damn near die on the vine. And only because the old Big East invited yall to join them did we get in CUSA. We have a right to be bitter at you a-holes for your contempt and your egotistical views of our school. You've only played us when its in your best interest, not ours. And not a soul on here will be surprised if we keep beating you guys in the coming years to see some rich old millionaires of yours buyout the deal, since that's alwasy been your solution to everything--buy it or pay for it, legal or not, ethical or not.

And a final note--you guys aren't getting invited to any P5 league. Ever...The pre-death penalty in the SWC was your high point on the totem pole. You ain't getting back there ever again. The NCAA drop kicked you guys down, permanently. No Big XII, no SEC, no Pac-12, no B1G, and no ACC. You may be higher than us on the totem pole, so congratulations--you managed to stay above a place that generally disdains athletics and loves music and arts. What an unbelievable achievement, Ponies!! The next thing we know, you'll also celebrate having more money than homeless people, too...

Harry is the worst troll on GMG bc he is a traffic whore.

greenminer · June 11, 2015

I swear I read all these SMU quotes back when Bennett and Jones were hired. This entire SMU-UNT discussion is recycled garbage, be it after a new coach or a conference shake up.

The only thing that is relevant is where we are now, and that is at 43-6. Congrats on your non-shutout, Punies.

Contract terms.

AState receives $0 for going to Dallas, SMU receives $0 for going to Jonesboro. If one of the schools wants to buyout that requires a check for $700,000.

I'm not sure that scheduling AState home and home indicates a program is on the rocks.

The two-time defending SEC East champs play in Jonesboro this year. Miami (FL) comes in 2017, Big XII member Iowa State in 2025 along with home/home deals with Tulsa, Utah State, Toledo and UNLV.

I hope you enjoy your visit to our absolutely gorgeous campus in the Park Cities in September. I will probably never step foot in Denton

You and your fans sure didn't show up last season. Way to support your program. I expect we will see a much larger contingent of green supporters in Dallas this year.

This wouldn't surprise me at all. None of your fans show up to any games.

Change it to definitely and we will all be better for it...

Enjoy your 1 or 2 wins again this year...we won't be one of them.

Tyler Maryak · June 11, 2015

Lolol, it will never get old...their board talks about how "obsessed" we are with having a rivalry with them when they are SOOOO superior, then 4-5 of them come to our board to talk shit. Like a psycho needy ex-girlfriend...

Pony: "Jeeze, why are you so obsessed with us, leave us alone, we're better than you."
Scrappy: "Uhm...what are you doing on my doorstep?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa! A trollfest pissing contest and I wasn't invited? How rude, at the end of the day, neither UNT nor SMU have much superiority over the other though if I had to choose, I'd favor SMU somewhat.

I've been generally well received for years now. I enjoy this board.
