SMU Helmet for NT Game

Makes it seem non patriotic to root again them

[DeepGreen]

That helmet and the use of "our" Stars and Stripes almost looks treasonous to me.

Is it really a surprise that SMU would play fast and loose with the Flag Code?

[GreenTexan13]

 - Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the United States Code, the flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, firefighters, police officers, and members of patriotic organizations.

("can we get control of our airspace above campus - and also UP - seems like the city could contact the FAA right now and request no fly overs due to noise and safety issues.")

 

Seems like the city should call the United States Government and request no misuse of the United States flag....

So this is a big game for them.  That'll come as a surprise to some of their fans. 

[greenjoe]

Yep.  A rivalry.  Just ask their coach. 

 

Beat Southern Meth

 

GO MEAN GREEN

[Mean Green 93-98]

We're their Super Bowl.

[Christopher Walker]

Total break of Flag Code.

Why would SMU ever, ever, ever consider breaking any sort of rule, code, or law? It's just not in that school's DNA.

[LongJim]

Shite.

[malonish]

I'm glad SMU is breaking new ground. No team in the history of football has used the American flag. Wait what?

Oh shat. Nevermind!

Yeah, right. I'm not saying it shouldn't be — they hated losing last year in Denton — but SMU fans aren't the ones hanging billboards and making t-shirts about beating UNT. If you asked SMU fans to rank all 12 games by importance, UNT would rank 11th or 12th (toss-up with James Madison). 

That said, last year's game showed that this year's game will be anything but a cakewalk, so there's no overconfidence, either. Hopefully the players are ready.

You're right. They probably don't think this game is big for them but the reality is that they compete more for recruits with us then they do with TCU or Baylor. That's fine if they overlook us but they're only fooling themselves.

I would think it has something to do with 9-11, plus, SMU like a lot of schools, has shown they have several different uniforms for this season.

The only way to lift moral outside of raising the flag somewhere in victory or planting it on the moon is obviously girls in flag bikinis. Merica!

You are ever so right.  The 8-10 threads about the "NTSU" game on ponyfans.com (or the fact that several are in direct response to threads here) shows how inconsequential this game is.

[greenit]

Definitely Super Bowl for them.

I don't know about their Superbowl but they apparently hate us. It really capped their asses when we beat them so bad their coach fled.

That's illegal and offensive! They should remove the offending articles immediately.

This is true. Criminals must stop this behavior.

Considering UNT is so meaningless, why exactly are you here running your mouth about it?
