Well let me put it another way, is it better for us to have lost to a good team or a shitty team? We got blown out by them and we cannot change that.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, a loss is a loss. And a loss to SMUt sucks no matter their record. Them getting ranked does not make it any better in my mind. Just makes it even harder to recruit against them. 

Now, if we are at 12-2 at the end of the year with a conference and bowl championship in our pockets, yes then we can play the "well our only two losses were against good teams" game. 

Until then, it is just a bad "L" in my book.

Im like... 78% positive something shady is going on. Would not be remotely surprised to see them investigated by NCAA... Smu history has always been shady. And not one single school had near the p5 transfers they do

I am 99% positive.

Buechele will play at the next level. Great deep ball!

I tried to tell people how damn good he was.  Transferred into Lamar and they were instant hot.  Can you imagine him against high school kids?  Well, he was better than that.

Is Buechele back next year?   If I remember correctly, he only played two years at Texas.  How many of their rental players are one and done?  

My first thought would have been none.

I'm not clear on the details of the transfer rule, but assume it is only applying to those that have graduated.  Don't know how redshirting plays into it.

Given that it's not unheard of for HS students to enter college with > 20hrs of credit (or more) by taking various tests, etc. along with going to class in the summer, I can easily see graduating in 4 years these days.  I guess it's even possible to get done in 3 (I think I saw this mentioned in a recent TV game).  Factor in a RS, and I guess it's possible to have 2 yrs left.  Again, there may be specifics to the rule that I'm not aware of.

Won't be surprised to see Alabama, etc. create some sort of mechanism to take advantage of this in some kind of "gray" area.

Buechele graduated in three years at UT, got redshirted for playing only four games last year and has two years of eligibility, so he's back next year.  In fact, almost all of the transfers have more than one year of eligibility. 

FWIW, Sonny seems have put together a bit of a model here.  The transfers are almost all grad transfers, have at least two years of eligibility left, and mostly come from the DFW area.  Buechele, the two kids from Rice, the Juco OL Hughes, the DB from UCLA who we paired up against Bussey, the LB from Auburn - all are grad transfers who were either passed over on the depth chart or made large contributions to a losing team - Rice - and left when the got the degree.   Only Nelson, the LB, is from outside DFW but even he had graduated and god knows we needed help at LB a couple years ago when we picked him up. 

Congrats on the win yesterday.   Pulling for you the rest of the year.

Classy Mustang.  👍

I have worked with & hired several SMU alums in the tech school recruiting business I was in for 25 years.  

Full disclosure, all—I was pulling for the ‘Stangs to kick TCU yesterday just as many of you were & just as many of us would have had we beat them 2 yrs in a row (which we did not).🙄

 Unless there is a recent update, methinks TCU has dropped SMU from their future Froggy schedule after yesterday.  

GMG!

I've watched every TCU, SMU and UNT game this season. Watching SMU,  I've noticed they have gotten better in some area every week. A smart and mature UNT fan, will be hoping the Mustangs win as many games as possible. Before we played SMU, most on this board talked about how bad they were, now some of you childish snowflakes, suddenly want to claim they are cheating?

The replay of this game is on now.

SMU’s Offense went 65 Yards in 5 plays on the opening drive.  Buechelle’s second pass was a double reverse pass he delivered on a rope to an open RB streaking down the sideline as Buechelle got drilled.

2nd TD they used the swinging gate on the extra point for two.

I know it ended up a close game at the end but in the first quarter SMU looked completely dominant.

The TCU fans had to be thinking like us..Where The F did this team come from?

We actually were discussing our resident Houston Cougar troll earlier today, and it is certainly nice to have our little Smoo trolls chime in as well.

I think the smart and mature UNT fan recognizes that SMU success is not good for UNT recruiting and hence longer term implications to the program.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      Of course. Something to remember is the PAC NEEDS an 8th member for football. In other words, they need us more than we need them, at least in the short-term. That alone gives us some bargaining power. The MWC schools got help paying their buyout from the PAC's war chest. Why can't we demand a bit more of the NCAA tourney credits for the next few years to help pay our buyout? Considering we're a fringe tourney team as it is, it doesn't seem like much to ask for.

      Why Would Innocent People?

      Step 1: elect a narcissistic man child into office Step 2: he blames everyone for every bad thing (except himself) Step 3: he vows to go after his political opponents Step 4: realize this is the America you wanted. Now live with it Step 5: protect anyone you can from said oompa loompa. I would. Hope it was worth it!

      What a day for UNT Hoops

      Follow up thoughts: I think we are all aware of the many things that go into selection. But many (or most) casuals think too much of W-L record. As in, 25+ wins means you're a near lock for an AL. Just another one of my 0.02 observations: the committee will have a handful of 25-ish-win mid-majors on the outside looking in (most years), and have to also consider all these 15-to-20-win-ish teams from the majors. This is where Quad 1 opportunities come into play. It's unfair, because quality midmajors like us sit on a s.t.ru.g.g.l.e.b.u.s. trying to schedule more Q1 opportunities, while those majors get tons of them just by virtue of being in their conference. So, by sheer luck or chance or whatever, they pull off 1 or 2 Q1 wins, and thus get the nod. It's freakin hard being where we are, and getting over the hump.

      What a day for UNT Hoops

      My 0.02: we would need to win out, losing only in the AAC Championship game to the Tigers. And even then, our chances are not good. The committee will dwell on our Q1 record. any additional losses until then would effectively doom us unless we get the auto-bid. Want to make things even hairier? We lose in the championship game to...someone other than Memphis. Because the Tigers lost in an earlier round. The committee will almost certainly still give Memphis an at-large, which means we are hoping for a second at-large American bid. OUTLOOK NOT GOOD.
