@MJavierSMU also says no rivalry...I wonder if his opinion will change after seeing his coach's comments.

If I had to name SMU's top 5 rivals they would be TCU, UH, Baylor, Rice and maybe Texas Tech since we have continued to play them post SWC.

Maybe someone forgot to tell him to ask what his coach thinks of SMU's top 5 rivals?

I copied and pasted from my other post......

What do you think Morris is gong to say when asked that by a reporter? No, I don't think of them as a rival. It's just another game. Or....no way, we are looking forward to next week against Baylor. Of course not. He would've had the same response if asked that about Texas St or UTEP. It's game week and he's got to get his team fired up. Hell, June Jones used to call everyone a rival.

I mean, McCarney said it wasn't a rivalry last season. Morris can say whatever he wants.

I think you're in denial at best, delusional at worst.  Look, this is not a personal attack against you, but it's going to describe your entire fan base (all 11 of them)...  Nobody cares about the "National Championship"- it's looked upon with the same level of legitimacy as TAMUs.  The only time since the 1940s that you had a respectable football team, it was because you had a payroll higher than the Miami Dolphins.  So, when I read on your posting board that you are curious as to why you're not ranked as high on the list of college football blue bloods, it leads to me spilling my coffee on my lap as I'm laughing so hard.  Secondly, you have the same garbage attendance woes that we experience.  You can't get people to go to the games that are not students.  And, your ticket counters become task force Enron and cook the numbers to try to keep up with TCU's attendance numbers.  Third, we both struggle to get talent to stay home, especially with the big red threat emerging down in Houston, on top of TCUs continued success.  You had a string of bowl appearances for four years (granted more recent than ours) and we had a string of bowl appearances.  The only difference between the two programs is yours has a story of success (which nobody but you remembers) and that manages to carry you to a better reputation than us.  You had the death penalty because you cheated your collective @$$e$ off and still didn't get a NC out of it (still laugh about the holiday bowl- who blows a lead that big).  Your program cratered, and still has not recovered.  We dropped to 1-aa and still haven't recovered.  We have a young, energetic staff that came from successful stints everywhere he went, you have the same.  

Face it- we are the SAME program.  WE are rivals.  You guys just don't want to admit it because if you do, it means you're no longer the pony express-which, come on guys, let it go.  It's no longer the late 70s, early 80s.  Get over yourselves.  Embrace it.  Your coach does.

I never mentioned the national championship. You did. I never mentioned football blue bloods. You did. Our attendance in football is terrible unless we're playing a former SWC rival, there is no denying that. As for cooking up attendance numbers, it is the same practice at every school - UNT, TCU, Baylor, Texas St, Rice or name any other school. They count tickets sold. I went to a UNT basketball game last season and there might have been 500 people in the place but the announced attendance was around 3,000. Y'all act like SMU is the only one who does this. The cheating thing has been beat to death but again, everyone was doing it, SMU just got caught. We deserved what we got but so did UT, A&M, TCU.......

SMU and UNT are at the same level of success right now but we are not the same program. We are coming from vastly different places. History does count for something. The value or meaning of that history is debatable. SMU and Rice is a better comparison as being the SAME program. Based on the comments on this board most of the hate of SMU has nothing to do with athletic competition. It seems to have more to do with the broad brush you paint anyone associated with SMU. That alone doesn't make a rivalry. Has one of our games (football or basketball) ever sold out? Two schools located an hour apart and a game has never sold out? That's a rivalry? The TCU game in a few weeks will be sold out, and we are terrible. The TCU basketball game at Moody in November will be sold out, and they are terrible. That's a rivalry because of the history and similarity of the schools.

Western Kentucky. That is why I came to this site to ask about the game. And I was not greeted kindly, which really surprised me. I found out that I'm a d-bag, I pop my collar and my rich dad got me into SMU. lol

We're not rivals in any sense except that we both have sucked for so long, we'll do anything for attention. SMU at least has some historic rivals with TCU, Baylor, Rice... they've just done such a bad job SINCE the death penalty that those have gone dormant.

This is purely coach speak.

There's no clearer proof that SMU isn't our rival than the fact that we have to debate it every year on this board, and this board only represents the handful of hardcore fans that still give a damn. If they were our rival, there'd be no debate.

Coach speak. Maybe you have heard that of it. Coaches don't decide who is a rival.

He is a coaching trying to motivate his team for the first week of the season. 

But it's nice to know that you love SMU's coach so much. ?

No.   Coach speak would be something like, "They're a well coached team up there with some nice players.  They had a down year last year, but we won't be taking them lightly...  blah, blah, blah...", talking but not saying anything.   This is a pointed comment, either as a reply to a question, or made on his own.

Don't think UNT is your "rival"?   Don't volunteer that quote.   Or, if you were asked point-blank, you can say something like the above to go around it... like what McCarney did last year.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.
