I assume he covers UNT for the Denton paper. He's all alone on an island with his pick. Doesn't he know you don't pick with your heart? But seriously, I'm surprised everyone else picked SMU.

Vito isn't much of a homer and when it comes to predictions he is t moved by any love towards UNT. If he wrote it he believes it.

I just think all of these people saw the 1st half of the SMU game and just assume SMU can hang with/beat anyone.

Eerily familiar to the buildup to UNT's game on 10/5/2013 after playing a great 2.5 quarters @Georgia.   Anyone recall the outcome of that 10/5/13 game (VS a team most predicted UNT to beat)?  I sure do, because I was there scratching my head with many of you.  Major letdown.

All of these DFW SWC media want SMU to rise up again, just like they did when June Jones got there. They all look down on UNT, for many obvious reasons, many of which are our own fault. But its fascinating just how much talk that SMU can still generate in this market, while dealing with the pro teams, the Big XII and SEC, and the fact that they have a small fanbase that doesn't relate to anywhere but North Dallas' rich suburbs.

TCU managed to accomplish so much more than SMU because of their financial commitment to being a winner that was complemented greatly by Ft. Worth's support, of which just dwarfs SMU's support from Dallas. Yet, I still feel like to some of the old guard media establishments here in DFW, they act like SMU could actually turn things around to be equals with TCU or Baylor right now. But the little crack that TCU squeezed thru, both in the MWC and winning the Rose Bowl, as well as gaining admittance into a P5 conference, has basically been sealed, especially for a small school like SMU. They have lots of money, no doubt, but really, that and memories of Pony Excess are all they bring to the table.

I agree.  This SMU team will look a lot more tense playing a team they are supposed to beat.  I doubt they take as many risks as they did against baylor.  They knew they had to keep scoring and pull out everything before baylor pulled away.

They were going into this season, and we weren't in the waiting list. But yet magically SMU is soooo much better. They went 1-11 and got obliterated in every game. If we lose, this season is Dodge-level and people need to be held accountable. Losing to a 1-11 team is unacceptable.

.... and still won a game? Impressive!

BV really looking like a homer now 

there was no way he could have predicted the passing attack getting worse even when the Oline looked slightly better than last year.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.

      For those who don't remember, this is the guy who transferred out of Tulane to Duke. The guy will never have to work a day in his life. Now let the bidding wars truly begin. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/highest-paid-player-in-college-football-history-transfer-qb-darian-mensahs-duke-deal-is-sign-of-times/
