I know we folks here never feel for SMU. But it is the same for them as it would be for UNT if the series with SMU got cancelled. The sport would be the loser, but if UNT starts winning that series on the regular, mean green fans will still want to continue the series (I assume SMU fans will be more split). But given all the loss of regionality from the sport, I deplore the loss of such rivalries even more.

On that notion, TCU will be travelling a lot more starting in 24. Something has me thinking that once they made that expereince for a few years, they will eventually come back on the idea of having a very regional game they can play every year. It doesn't have to be SMU though, could be UNT, or even Tulsa.

Very true. We get upset when things like this happen to us, but it's a different story when it's another school or even us thinking we shouldn't play other regional FBS schools.

Is there any more to this story?  Seems like TCU is making this decision unilaterally.  This is a long-standing annual matchup, there has to be more going on here.

We beat them 2 of the last 3 years, plus they have had NIL shortages and we stole some great players from them.  It only hurts them to play us and only benefits us.

In short: they are scared.

2 losses in 3 years didn't keep them out of the national title game.

Maybe you mean that 3rd loss will do them in?

You, me, and TCU all know they made that game from phenomenal luck.  They are good but not that good. They are absolutely vulnerable in recruiting now in the B12 sans UT and OU.  They will continue to lose conference prestige and they will need to stay razor sharp to combat that. Having us be a legitimate recruiting competitor is only bad for them.

Dude, you can't be be fking serious?  

 

Look, I get that you guys are trolling, desperate and crave approval, but this is just next level stupid. 

 

I hate Texas u with every fiber in my body, but even I wouldn't say that tu wasn't "that good" when they made the title game with Vince Young. 

 

Please, just stop. Or at the very least, go back to your own board with your own kind.

I see a program that has capitalized on every opportunity afforded them the last 20+ years, with rare exception

when the B12 loses its prestige without UT- OU, and it will, I have zero doubt that TCU will figure out how to properly act next.

can’t say the same for the Ponies, as we all see only bring lawyer money to the table. People are taking their cash and letting you sit in the corner of the same rooms, while you have won zero hardware since the 1980s.

I bet y’all are thanking the CFB Gods for NIL: it’s your only hope.

They can't.  Several of them have been laughed out of threads, at times even burning themselves.  However, they keep at it and continue to embarrass themselves.  It's a sickness, really.

Yes.  After 100 years, TCU has just discovered that they are afraid of SMU.

They rose to the top of the CFB world and appeared in the CFP title game, and all of a sudden they're afraid of SMU.

That's his logic.  TCU, however, sees something SMU doesn't, due to newfound perspective, and is trimming excess lawyer fat out of their healthy CFB diet.

$mut needs TCU alot more than TCU needing $mut.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
