You are no longer allowed to comment on historic “success”.

You know, I have held my tongue on some of your catty comments but I am tired of your crap.

Cougar High couldn't hold SMU's jock back in the 70's and 80's and the only reason you guys have had any success as of late is your mafia benefactor who needs a tax write off ie a place to launder his money.

You could only wish to have had the historic success that SMU has had. Any by the way, you should not be boasting about attendance either.

Also, why are you here? We share a conference with UNT, albeit for a cup of coffee but still we have reason to be engaging with them at this time. I don't see Houston on the schedule for UNT.

Blah blah blah. The 70s and 80s were literally 40-50 years ago. All of those players are senior citizens now and at least half of the fans plus most of the folks in charge from back then are dead now.

We live in a "What have you done for me lately?" world. SMU has done jackshit and Jack has left the building.

You can get butthurt at my comments all you want, but the reason I am here is because of the over the top responses I get on here for breathing. Other than that, I have nothing against UNT.

I do however hate SMU just like I hate the Techtards in Lubbock, the nerd school nearby, the people who mistake their farts for air freshener in Fort Worth and the cult in College Station.

The people in Austin and Waco aren't even worth mentioning. So I can roast SMU all day and not get bored.

Holly crap, an SMU fan is going after a Houston fan about who has the right to come on a UNT board to talk shit.

now with NIL SMU could win the national championship

This isn't the 80s. SMU is currently a landing spot for P5 transfers who flopped after good high school recruiting rankings. The P5 backups aren't going to skate past the P5 starters in a playoff run all the way to a national championship.

No -1s from me for those quotes. It's like they cancel each other out.

SMU was punching the air after seeing Utah, TCU, Rutgers, Louisville, BYU,Cincy, UCF and especially dear old UofH get elevated to a P5 conference.

You have no fans. You have no recent football or basketball success. You even tried to rebrand yourselves as "Dallas" even though The University of Dallas already exists.

SMU even divorced the Methodist church for a chance at the P5.

When ALL of this failed, You guys resorted to buying your way into a P5 conference. The jury is out on if this will work, but I predict SMU may try going independent in football if this falls through.

mustangfan had a good point, UNT is in the same conference with SMU, you guy's aren't even on the schedule for either of us. By the way, didn't SMU hang 77 on the cougars last year?

Not even a season in at the truck stop conference and you are already high and mighty. Your attendance doesn't look substantially different from ours (despite vastly more student and alumni) nor does your recent football success. You got called up based on market just like we will be. There are a dozen other schools who are also willing to invest the resources and try to win, but are totally doomed because they don't have an in-demand market.

We're getting on the last lifeboat to safety. You got on the second-to-last. How impressive.

Yeah! You couldn’t hold SMU’s jock in the 80’s and you have a “mafia benefactor who launders money.” How dare you compare yourself to the clean, upstanding ponies who have always done it right.

I think the PAC is in really bad shape. Maybe not today or tomorrow but in the next ten years. In a rational world they’d reconfigure as an academic/athletic conference that has realistic expectations. But you can’t do that in these times, just like G5 will never break off until they are forced to.

Functionally making moves for individual school and/or conference revenue is not how you run a functional league. We could have a great robust stable FBS with about 100 teams if 60% - 80% of all media revenue went in to shared bucket. Also 25% merchandise revenue sold at venues on game day should be in one collective pot also. And functional standards should also be implemented to have FBS status. Not to pick on Rice, Tulsa, Vanderbilt and SMU but none of them should be FBS. Small private schools like that virtually never develop a huge following ironically because they are good at their primary mission; providing an elite education with strong small professional networks post graduation.

Don't count your dollars before they're in your hand Biff. SMU doesn't have an invite yet.

If market was the only factor, then why didn't Rice or Tulane get a call-up over us? They both have more money and AAU status.

Rice and Tulane have the resources.... But not the will to try. That's why I said "and willing to invest the resources to try to win".

If Rice wanted to invest their vast resources, make curriculum changes, etc to facilitate winning they'd absolutely be an option.

I am jealous you get UT at home.

I wish we still had UH on our schedule so we could go for 96 this year.
