Is that after the first stanza? 

[El Paso Eagle]

So they are saying they will put 49-50 up on us and we will score 23-24. Not sure I saw enough in the NWS game to disagree, but it seems a little big.

1.7million dollars at work here! I'll be watching, and complaining, about every over-priced minute

Didn't see anything last night that made me mad, but I also didn't see anything that made me optimistic SL has turned this ship around.

As it stands, I think SMU is going to steam roll us.

[PlummMeanGreen]

SMU is so good I’m sure they’ll be a shoo-in for the Big 12’s upcoming expansion.  Say what?  What do you mean those 4 schools? 

Now Las Vegas has our fans waving the white flag. Oh well--what the hell else is new?  This is just another one of our traditions. 
Fact remains SMU will still be a G5 school when Sonny Dykes takes a P5 job where fans fill a stadium.  Then maybe our favorite school will take advantage of that moment like we’ve yet to do in the past when the University Park Mustangs take a brief football hiatus.

❇️  SO GET UP OUT OF YOUR CHAIRS WHEREVER YOU ARE, RAISE THE WINDOW & YELL—WE’RE MAD AS HELL & WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!———UNT’s next major recruiting step forward is for SL to hire La Tech’s main recruiting guy (not to replace our head guy by any means) but to join our staff & be in charge of our Ark/La/Tex recruiting with his emphasizing the state of Louisiana.

  If anyone hasn’t noticed the last few years, LaTech, Louisiana & ULM have doubled down on their Texas recruiting. We should finally be getting tired of that BS in Denton or— do we wave the white flag? 
 

GMG!

I’ve seen +21 a lot

So…. Where can we place bets?

We CANNOT go down there and get our asses handed to us. Not again...

I'm not stupid, you can look at their recruits of recent years, and our recruits and know they clearly have a talent advantage. But for once in the Seth Littrell era (aside from Arkansas) we have to punch above our weight in a big game. We NEVER show up to these games, we get our doors blown off in bowl games, and aside from the La Tech loss at home in 2018 when we were 4-0, none of the losses have been close. 

Given that we have been so abysmal in these games, surely the pendulum has to swing. I am oddly confident we are due for some positive regression this weekend.

Positive regression...

Is that where we play so badly it stuns the other team allowing us to take advantage?

Basically a car wreck you can't take yours eyes off of. While SMU keeps rubber necking to watch, we follow the ambulance to avoid traffic. Its genius!

We will likely continue to keep things very vanilla so we can try to pull out all the stops vs those apostate snakes in FW.  UNT to cover the spread might not be a bad bet.

Thank you for your mercy:

I went to last years game and it was 21-0 after the 1st quarter. 34-7 at the half. I remember the North Texas players laughing and joking on the sidelines like they couldn’t care less. No fire from the coaches, no pride, no urgency. Let’s see if that changes next week.

I hope we don’t give up 21 in the first, but from just last night, PB and the defense seem different. I think it’s going to be a better game than the 25 pt spread. 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

I have no idea what to think of this UNT team. QB will have to step his game up for sure. 

Just be competitive and I can live with the results. GMG

[97and03]

I would guess we give up around 35-40, so the question is can the offense keep it close or does it continue to idle in neutral like the last couple of years until it faces the second team defense?

Couldn’t*

[untjim1995]

I don’t see us being in this game after halftime, similar to last year. We might get some garbage points in the 4th to make it look closer, but this program and it’s fans freak out at the sight of an SMU Mustang. When they are good, they kill us. It’s when they are bad, like terrible, that we can beat them.  SMU isn’t anywhere close to being terrible, so I expect a thorough ass-kicking in this one.

Now twice spurned by the Big 12 for membership, SMU seems to always have North Texas to play Daddy to.  Anyone else getting tired of that role? At 70 I damn sure am.  

🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎 I’ve seen us green-saddle SMU 4 times since 1973 & looking back I‘m trying to recall how those wins just so revolutionized our football program going forward.  IMO, they didn’t. I don’t think 4 MG wins over SMU in a row would change much except at DFW area office water coolers college sports chit chats. 

In Wren We Trust has to do what Wren’s gotta do with scheduling —& I support anything he does because I think the man knows what he’s doing which will eventually take our favorite school to the next level, but less SMU on future schedules I would support wholeheartedly.  (I know—they just signed for 4 more games).😆
