I've read several of these threads today and I've never seen a fan board stereotype SMU as much as I've seen on here. Where did all the hate come from?? I'm not saying the frat culture doesn't exist at SMU, of course it does, but it doesn't define all or even a majority of the students at SMU, and most don't have trust funds. Plus, the frat (d-bag) culture is certainly not unique to SMU. It is at every school - TCU, Baylor, UNT, UT, A&M, OU and Tech. I guarantee you'll see more khakis and pink polos on TCU's campus than SMU. 

A majority of the people I met at SMU didn't come from money, including myself. I get that it is game week and y'all are probably just talking a little trash but I had to get that off my chest after reading some of the posts. 

 

An infrequent visitor, I see.

Let me let you in on a few of the views of a lots of people on this board (not me):

SMU personally kept UNT out of the old SWC when Haden Fry was at UNT. It doesn't matter if it isn't true, you will never convince them of that.

SMU personally kept UNT out of CUSA back in 2001-2002. Again, it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

SMU is a bunch of millionaires, and for the ones that aren't a millionaire, they are most definitely 30k millionaires.

SMU grads perceive themselves as better than every other grad anywhere, including Princeton or Harvard (never mind it's not where you got your degreee, but what you did with it).

SMU ducked us forever, robbing us of our rightful place in metroplex sports (even though we actually rob ourselves of that spot).

As for one particular poster on our board, I think someone from SMU slept with an ex-girlfriend of his or something.

I'm sure there is more that I'm missing. Feel free to chime in, you SMU haters.

You'll have to excuse UNT90.  He likes to point out where others are obsessive or repetitive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Irony is lost on him.

That's quite a list. I think I'll avoid this bear trap.

It was a parody of The A-Team, not Rat Patrol. Throw in a green van with white diagonal stripe and a kickin' rear spoiler...now you're talkin'!

At the end of the A-Team intro, there is a jeep that goes air born, comes down, and starts to flip.

Not everyone here hates SMU. I'll cheer for every Texas school when they're not playing us, except one, and that's because I lived in their town for ages. I digress, your fans know how to get under these guys skin pretty easily. Actually, no one has to say anything at all because the black helicopter crowd has to blame someone for our alma mater's short comings. UNT has been it's worst enemy for a long time but things are improving of late in my opinion.

It ought to be a fun day/night on Saturday.

You were doing fine. There's plenty pf friendly types on the board.

This board is a lot like life. Funny, frustrating, and has the occasional retard. Laugh with 'em, at 'em, or ignore 'em and you'll do fine.

All good. Every fan board has posters who can make their school look bad. We have more than a few on our board. 

 

what do you see that needs to happen for UNT to win, same for SMU

I would say all of your posters make you look bad. I might be willing to give you & Malonish a pass. Maybe.....

As I was saying, one of my favorite college bands is the Rice MOB, and they usually perform in tee shirts and cut offs. I think our band looks good in shorts and shirts, and they sound great.On another note, I have never met nor heard of a poor SMU student. I'm sure they are like Bigfoot. They may exist, but I don't know anyone who actually has seen one.

that kinda IS their fan board. Not a lot of activity over at Pony fans, at least there wasn't before last year's game.

Haven't been over there this year.

Th Rice MOB as well as the Stanford band are a disgrace to college football! I would rather have no band at all than that rable. They are lucky not to have gotten killed a few years ago at T$M when they made fun of the mascot and the military.The infamous stupidity of the Stanford band for being on the field before the final play and having a hook and ladder run through their startled hippy band will live in infamy. But what would you expect from a school with a tree as its mascot? These may be institutions of great intellect, but their bands make them look like a bunch of fools. So does wearing t shirts and khaki. If the football team has to wear full gear and be on the turf surely the band can look presentable in the stands. The majority of other NCAA schools do not resort to summer attire!

Now Grandpa, let's get you back in the house before you start going off on conservative politics, okay? We know you don't want to go into a home, but if you keep acting this way you're not going to give us much of a choice...

Yeah, it's the "storm trooper" look and it's a very sharp look that should be our permanent look on the road from this point forward.

      The Mean Green nickname was used a lot during the Fry era. There were "Mean Green And Proud Of It" bumper stickers and buttons. Almost every other bumper sticker used the words "Mean Green." Before football and especially basketball games....the fans would start chanting....."Bring Out The Mean Green!....Bring Out The Mean Green!....."Bring Out The Mean Green!".....

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      In Slovenia with the wife and can’t watch the game later so will just post now that I am really disappointed in how we played.

      Opps! Jim Hobdy created the UNT Battle Flag in 1986 and WAS NOT involved with Rick Spear's design of the flying worm which was adopted by Hayden Fry and used during his tenure.My bad. It is a shame that we didn't stick with it and it certainly separated us from any other eagle mascot. However if you google history of Mean Green knickname you will find the credit for its universal usage by UNT attributed to Rick Villareal, not Hayden Fry.

      I don't think Hayden did this. Perhaps you could provide some reference as I can't recall the term "mean green " applying to our team as a whole until the 2000's. Yes the eagle is our mascot and mean green is the nickname of our team. Also I believe Jim Hobney [sic] was also involved in the creation of the flying worm bet can't exactly remember how. Maybe you know.

      This is a big game for Elf

      I agree with most all you say, but I don't think Coach has his team here yet. Everything is not yet fixed (ie defense). If he can elevate the Defensive play (ie new DC and bigger, better players) to match the Offense, then we will have something! Sorry, we are still a work in progress!
