SMU vs. UNT

Postby PonyTime » Tue Aug 04, 2015 12:50 pm

For those who have a hard time predicting SMU over UNT in their season predictions, just look at the track record.

Every time we lose to those guys - the next time we play them it is turned around.

1977 - Loss by 11 @SMU
1979 - win by 11 @SMU

1990 - Loss by 7 @ UNT
1992 - Win by 14 @ SMU

2006 - Loss by 18 @UNT
2007 - Win by 14 @SMU

I say we win by about 35 or so and then they can fire their coach after the game...

What isn't telling about these numbers is we completely destroyed them to the point their coach was drummed off campus and we did it with a horrid team. Did their team completely rebuild in less than one year? They were left in bad shape by their coaching staff. Will it help them to be dismantled by Baylor in week 1? Doubtful.

That said, if we show up with last years QB play, then this has the makings of an epic pillow fight. Start 1-0 with these guys then put them in the rear view...

Hahahahaha! I'm sorry, but that is a bold statement. Especially coming from a 1-11 record last year and getting their clock cleaned in Denton. I think I see some bad taste in their mouth about us causing their coach to run out with his tail in between his legs last year.

I hate SMU fans, because of crap like this flowing out of their mouths

This was only the second game of the season and our first home game. The defense was still aggressive at that point.

I interpreted the post as you saying you eat SMU fans for breakfast. Vague comedy yet making SMU either the shit OR the shit eater (bonus points) so rated 6/10.

How'd that work out for him? I can't recall the ending of that film.

Shooter McGavin= SMU= Rich Smug guy who hangs out at the country club and preys on the new guys at the bar

Happy Gilmore= UNT= just the average joe who takes the golden jacket away from the smugs on gameday

(hope the photo below gives you a reminder of the end of the film.)

My favorite golfers are Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore because he's awesome & David Simms from Tin Cup because he hates old people, children, and dogs. Plus, he's awesome.

I hate dirty schmoo more than your average UNT fan who hates dirty schmoo.  I think that's saying something....

Anyways....in our 6 away games last year (ALL losses, btw) our average margin of defeat was 22.6 pts.  I'd say that IF we lose, chances are good that it won't be pretty.  Throw in the uncertainty that a new DC brings (I know Cosh has like 105 years of experience, but he's presided over some of the worst run defenses in college football history.  When paired with a solid, defensive minded HC his defenses have faired better.  Either way, just like our QB situation, I'm skeptical until I see it with my own eyeballs in a live game), a completely rebuilt offensive line and our rotating QB circus, and I'm scared of this first game more than in most years.

The thing about last year's game, when you watch it over, SMU was their biggest enemy. They continually did things to screw themselves with bad decisions and the ugliest execution I have ever seen.  They were out of this game at the very first kick off.  We simply capitalized on their mistakes with a defense that still had something to prove at that time.  

 

I hope for the same result, but I think we will win by 13 this game.

Some of the better comments for the bulletin board from SMU's board...

"2007 was a win for Bennet, but it was also his only win of the whole season. The Safeway Bowl is currently at 28–5–1, not that I endorse it as a series. I see it more as the canary in the coal mine. 11 more games scheduled, need to get this to 39-5-1."

"Agreed, never again will we let that commuter school beat us."

"I like how everyone is assuming UNT is a win. I hope it is but I dont put them in the auto win collumn until next year"

"We lost to UNT last year by ~40 points, yet everyone on here has that down as a win. While our crop of freshman is better than the seniors they replace, they are still freshman and will struggle. "

"The coach who shall not be named was probably a huge reason as to why we lost to NTSU last year. He had clearly mailed it in and the team fed off his lack of energy & commitment, and that stupid offense he ran."

"I agree with those who are concerned about UNT game and think it may very well be the key to our season. Most of us expect to be trounced again by Baylor, but beating UNT after getting drubbed by them last year would go a long ways towards building some confidence. Lose to them at Ford and we are going to find out what our guys are made of (and how many might be run off at season's end). For these guys to win as many as 4 games, I see UNT as a "must win" game"

"My pride will simply not let me consider losing to NTSU 2 years in a row....especially in our house."

Well, this commuter school will have 12-15k strong in their own stadium ready to watch UNT whip some ass. Book it.

We bring 10k to their house.  They bring 500 to ours.

I bet we'll see more then 10k UNT fans, based on the transportation help that day. a 43-6 slaughtering isn't much of a gain for SMU. But I cannot deny your logic on that one.

      Welcome Coach Robinson and family !!

      Daniyal Robinson Named UNT Basketball Head Coach

      DENTON, Texas – Daniyal Robinson, who has guided Cleveland State to 65 victories and three postseason appearances in his three seasons as head coach, has been named UNT basketball’s 20th head coach, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Sunday. “I’m excited to welcome Daniyal Robinson to UNT as our next head men’s basketball coach,” Mosley said. “Daniyal is a defensive focused coach who has a reputation as a great recruiter and builder of young men. His track record of success at Cleveland State speaks for itself with three straight 20-win seasons in this chaotic NIL environment. He’s learned from some of the best coaches in the business it was clear in our conversations that he has a detailed plan to ensure continued momentum and success at the national level. We look forward to welcoming Daniyal, his wife Kim, and three children — Devyn, Reece and Reid to Denton.” Robinson took over as head coach at Cleveland State in 2022 and led the Vikings to a 65-42 record over his three seasons, the most over three years by a coach in program history. Over that period, he coached 11 All-Horizon honorees and two league award winners. "I am deeply honored to join the North Texas family and lead the Mean Green men's basketball program,” Robinson said. “My heartfelt gratitude goes to President Keller, athletic director Jared Mosley and entire the Mean Green community for entrusting me with this incredible opportunity. “I am committed to building young men of character, while continuing the growth and excellence of one of the top programs in the American Athletic Conference. There is a strong foundation in place, and I know we have what it takes to continue to win championships. Go Mean Green!” CSU finished the 2024-25 season with 23 victories a second-place finish in the Horizon League, including 14 conference wins, and a runner-up performance in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI). He was named a finalist for the Ben Jobe Award given annually to the nation’s top minority head coach for the second time in his career. The Vikings had Horizon Sixth Man of the Year Chase Robinson and Freshman of the Year Je’Shawn Stevenson along with seven all-conference honorees. Cleveland State was the Horizon’s top defense team last season, holding opponents to 66.5 ppg while finishing first in turnovers forced per game, and second in blocks, steals and opponent field goal percentage. The 15.17 turnovers created per game by CSU’s defense ranked 13th nationally. Robinson guided the Vikings to another 20-win season in 2023-24, finishing 21-15 overall and 11-9 in Horizon League play. He became the first coach in CSU history to record consecutive 20-win seasons to start his tenure. The Vikings made their fourth straight Horizon League semifinal appearance and returned to the CBI, setting a program record with a fourth consecutive postseason berth. Forward Tristan Enaruna earned first-team all-league honors before signing a free-agent contract with the Boston Celtics. In his first season, Robinson led the Vikings to a 21-14 overall record and a 14-6 Horizon League mark, finishing third in the conference. The team reached the Horizon League Tournament Championship Game and secured a program-first berth in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI). The 21 victories were the most by a first-year coach in Cleveland State history. Defensively, CSU ranked in the top five in all major statistical categories within the Horizon League, holding opponents to just over 70 points per game. Robinson coached three all-league performers in his first season, including first-team honoree Enaruna, who averaged 17.4 points per game and shot 54% from the field. Deshon Parker and Deante Johnson were named to the all-defensive team, with CSU being the only school with multiple selections. Johnson earned all-defensive honors for the third consecutive season. Robinson arrived at CSU with more than 21 years of Division I coaching experience, including multiple NCAA Tournament appearances. He spent time as an assistant at Iowa State, helping the Cyclones win two Big 12 Tournaments and make four NCAA Tournament appearances, including Sweet 16 runs in 2016 and 2021. During his time there, he coached 12 future NBA players, including Tyrese Haliburton and Talen Horton-Tucker. Robinson also had coaching stops at Loyola Chicago, Houston, Illinois State, and his alma mater, Arkansas-Little Rock. He helped Loyola win the CBI title in 2015 and played a key role in developing multiple NBA prospects. As a player, Robinson starred at Indian Hills Community College before transferring to Arkansas-Little Rock, where he earned a bachelor's degree in health education in 1999. Robinson and his wife, Kim, have three children: Devyn, Reece and Reid. Devyn played volleyball at Wisconsin, while Reece was a freshman forward on the Cleveland State team in 2024-25. UNT retained Collegiate Sports Associates to conduct an extensive national search for head coach candidates. Robinson’s hire is contingent upon completion of the university background check process and Board of Regents approval.
