…solve our present problems or get us instantly competitive in today’s NIL market place or take the sour tastes out of most our attitudes today but —lopsided scores do happen to many programs.

Things can always be worse—even for the local darlings. I got to watch the UH football & basketball program grow firsthand from nothing to a seat in the Southwest Conference & do that in record time. I (as a few of you) always wanted UNT to emulate UH yet they’ve joined a major conference twice in my lifetime. We haven’t.

We should not be ready to concede anything to SMU because they had to have their favorite scenario of recruits/transfers to the NCAA ‘s version of bribery to get what they had & what we saw at Apogee the other night. 
••• Notice how SMU’ers perked up when they realized the full meaning of NIL?  Hell, they could pay players legally to love their school & with a 12 team playoff their not getting in a P5 conference would no longer break their program (or spirit) even as a G5 school.  (We know all about broken spirits at North Texas, don’t we?  Hang around all this for 50 years & you will too—hopefully just not as much as we senior Nestor’s.

For us at the present time, the Stangs really did pile misery on top of misery last Saturday at Apogee.  Perhaps just as UNT demolished SMU in 2018 which caused them to change their entire philosophy in recruiting;  so maybe last Saturday’s embarrassment will now cause UNT to do some much needed tweaking of our own.

GMG!
