I’m convinced SMwho brought more fans to Denton to watch basketball than they bring to watch football.  
 

And why did they play in practice uniforms ?

They were trying to rub that stupid "Dallas" theme in our face, which is laughable because they have no fans outside the Park Cities.   The school is not even in Dallas!

I was also surprised the refs let them play with the black unis vs our dark green unis.  There wasn't a lot of contrast between the teams on TV with the poor Pit lighting.

They are not technically in Dallas. But when they play football and the TV network pans away with a sky shot.... the skyline is right there in clear sight. The proximity is very close, and they have more right to claim it as their city than anyone else.

These people would all like a word...and I'm pretty sure they would have each brought more fans to the pit.

Take off UT Dallas which is in Richardson and University of Dallas which is in Irving and add Dallas Baptist University and Paul Quinn College.

Listen, we get it. We want to rag on SMU. But there are PLENTY of other reasons to do so than nitpicking about where they're physically located. How much closer to Dallas do you want them to be? And what are your arbitrary Dallas boundary lines? 

I guess they're they Arlington Cowboys now...

HUGE difference within the comparison you attempt to sarcastically throw out there....people in Dallas actually care about and claim the "Arlington Cowboys" as their own.

I think about half the NFL teams actually play in a suburb of the team they represent (because land tends to be cheaper, etc.).  Maybe not that many, but it's a sizable figure and without even thinking hard, six come to mind.  It's not quite the same thing, though I would say SMU has a more of a leg to stand on than schools that don't play D1 sports.

And with "Dallas" on the front of their jerseys. Do they only wear those when they play UNT, as if to remind everyone their Dallas' team? Or because their ashamed to be associated with Methodists? Pathetic either way.

But, technically, per your logic, the Cowboys are due a name change. The Arlington Cowboys has a certain ring to it. Could grow on me.

You missed the point of my retort to your original stance which was backing up:

..which was wholly geographical. If HP isn't within the radius you would call "Dallas" then you're definitely going to need to change it to the Arlington Cowboys. 

Again, just pick a better reason to talk smack to them. Where they're campus is physically located is lame, dude.

Here’s another example…

Oklahoma City residents support OU in Norman.  Dallas residents don’t support $mut in Park Cities.  

And not even talking about geography, their whole theme of wearing “Dallas” jerseys is laughable by context of lack of support and fans from Dallas as a whole.  It’s total false advertising on several levels!

They wear Dallas on their football jerseys, too. They also have an alt logo of the Dallas "D." It has nothing to do with us as they wear it in both sports with frequency.

As a born and raised Dallasite who spent most of his childhood in the area of Midway and Walnut Hill, I can proudly tell you nobody in Dallas gives a damn about SMU.

I still don't understand why we waste time even discussing them. 

Next topic please.

I never once claimed geography as an argument…only that if they’re going to claim “Dallas”, they should at least be relevant there

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
