Why does anyone here care about SMU? I don't unless we are playing them. I see it as a bigger problem that we could be 8-0 and wouldn't make the top 20 because of our conference. 

I'll be happy for a bowl this year.

Agreed, the fact there are two SMU threads on the first page of a gomeangreen.com forum is alarming. Thinking SMU sucks when they destroyed us is really a slap in the face to the UNT team.

One thing that I just don’t get. I’ve heard Herbstreet refer to it tonight.  People talk about the early 80s with such warm feelings. Herbstreet talked about the “good ol days” 

It’s what led to their death. I don’t understand anyone that can look at the period of biggest cheating in college football history with such warm memories. It should be embarrassing.  Even some SMU fans wear it as a badge of honor because they won then. I don’t get it.

I say good on them.  So we lost to SMUt, now we know what we need to do to improve.  Shame on us if we don’t.  Good G5 press is good for G5 schools.  Just need to do our part and win.  It was all in front of us and we let it slip away.  Learn from it and get better.  Have fun and wear a T-Rex costume to work on Monday.

Yes, if nothing else because of Mason

Writing off next week.  If we win, great!  If we lose, oh well.

From there, if we don’t crap the bed in Houston, we should take care of UAB at home on SR Day.   We should be at 6-6, and you’re absolutely right.  When bottom-rung Bowl games are left scouring the 6-6 teams to fill their games, there’s no possible way they can pass on Fine.  6-6 will get NT to a bowl.  I just hope we don’t hit a buzzsaw for the 3rd year in a row & can actually WIN this year.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      A Big 10 vs SEC invitational College Football Playoff is of no interest to me. This will be the 2nd time Tennessee and Ohio State have played in their history. The Clemson vs Texas game will be their first matchup EVER. That to me highlights the absurdity of the out of conference scheduling for the bigger brand teams. And if Alabama went up to Penn State and got blown out exactly the same way nobody would mention it next year when they are in consideration for a wildcard spot with 2 (or maybe even 3) losses.

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      No doubt a lot of the institutions are very greedy but the players are doing their damned best to catch up on the great factor as quick as possible and they are making up for lost time. Say what you want about who's responsible, but when your transferring three to four times you are greedy. So you can blame everyone they are equally at fault but don't think for a minute that 90% of the players give a damn about what's best for the game just as the university presidents are hypocrites in the fact that they let this run so far out of whack.
