🤢 but it’ll be ok

[untbowler]

ouch that does hurt. Good luck to Siggers outside of when he plays UNT

[GrandGreen]

Yes, I am sure SMU had no contact with him before he went to the portal. 

I don't wish Stiggers luck with this decision.

The transfer portal system and the one-time no sitout rules might be based on good intentions but they will end up kicking most G5 programs in the nuts. And if anyone believes there was no communications before this they are wrong.

If you can’t beat em join em I guess...sucks.  Losing this yr would be exceedingly painful.

You have to feel good for a local kid coming home and moving up.  Not like he's going somewhere in conference. 

 

I'm sure you're bringing in your own transfers too

Why on earth would we feel good about one of our players transferring to the school across the metroplex that none of us want to see succeed?

I know we've played against each other a lot lately but what's with the animosity?  I look to all AAC or G4 schools to succeed unless they are rivals like Houston or Memphis or similar.  We don't compete in conference, or generally for the same recruit level, or even the same student demographic. We should support each other.

SMU is a smaller school sharing recruiting space with us. If they can succeed at football, we can too, so it’s frustrating when our rivals are thriving and we aren’t. It’s shameful to lose a player to a rival and have the player call the other team home.

Jeez, of all places.

Just wondering. I know they are using Dallas now to try to distance from many of the negatives associated with SMU. So if Duncanville is now "home" will we see a weekly change of uniforms that have Dallas, Duncanville,Arlington, Mesquite ........ 

[tmjerm]

Don’t feed the troll.  
 

If you take your fandom off, Tre’s choice is understandable and the truth is he’s not getting the carries here so we’re the ones with the positive leverage here.  
 

That said, it stings a bit.  Pony’s bought success won’t last forever and if we get our S together we’ll be back to making them remember they’re not in any other universe than ours. 

[greenjoe]

Clearly we are competing for the same players.  In this example, the same player literally.  Coming home ?  Siggers never really left home.  I know people that commute further to work each day.

Didn't know Stiggers was from University Park. 

Moving down, IMO

Hahahahaha this guy is one of those "P6" guys... if you're a power conference then why does going undefeated still not get you in the playoffs.

It's a process. That's helps you too, eventually. Support it.

To SMU, their fans, and everyone associated with that pompous asshat factory.

I just don't get that mentality. You can't consider ALL other DI FBS schools a rival. We have to work together. Save the hate for your 2 or 3 real traditional rivals, and we can work together against the P5 types.

I never want us to talk bad about a player but in this case...

Not according to Siggers. I guess he identifies with SMU and the general Dallas area better.

Talk to me about how Tre Siggers fits the SMU student demographic.

[emmitt01]

We really should be more mature about this.   It’s not SMU’s fault that we pay our coaching staff millions and they can’t compete with SMU’s roster that makes the same millions.
