HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because:

We can't afford bowl game pricing.

We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team.

We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation.

We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games.

We basketball.

We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games.

We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco.

We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in.

We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year.

We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather.

We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear.

We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band.

 

Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway.

 

HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium.

If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU.  Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.

Can you tailgate behind your vehicle?  This is Burleson Park according to Google Maps.

Yeah we don't allow the Blvd to be used for non SMU events.  Basically there is not any tailgating for the minor bowls and other events.  The Blvd is owned by SMU and reserved for SMU sporting events.  You will just need to go to some of the sports bars and restaurants off Greenville and over by Le Madeline etc if you are wanting to do any pre-game meals etc.  Also most of the lower cost parking is on the other side of 75.  I would expect most UNT people would be taking the public transit that drops off at Mockingbird Station.

Wow, so small time. One of the reasons this venue is such a beating. It's not just because SMU plays there.

Just got refund on my tickets 

The mean green ticket office called and said the tickets I already purchased were not charged correctly and I needed to pay an additional $50 to keep the seats I already paid for. 

I told them to kick rocks and refund the entire amount. 

 

Ended up getting 2 free tickets for the game. 

 Now I'm willing to attend.

Thanks for that Google Maps pic @UNT 90 Grad.  I guess they recently developed the parking lot and put in Burleson Park?   Dang, new info right there.  Sorry for the false alarm there y'all.  It does look like in the pic that the area below the park is now parking and that whole area was under construction last time we were there.  So maybe that should be open for tailgating?  Watch it be 25' out on game day and all this will be moot.  haha

Well this is delicious. The Frisco Bowl party against Boise was a blast. Make it happen athletics, association, whoever is spearheading this fiesta.

The FRB website doesn't address tailgating, not even in the FAQ's.

All I know is last year one of our Alums reached out and was told private tailgates had to be purchased through a bowl vendor (Revelxp) and the prices were ridiculous.

Good old SMU, I bet the vendor is tied to a grad of SMU.  

Corporate office is in Georgia.  Wes Day is recently appointed CEO, and from North Carolina (per LinkedIN).

So, maybe.  Just wanted to throw that out there.

Just park and tailgate at one of the DART stations a few stops from Mockingbird???

I dunno...DART police might lose their s.

 

We’re likely parking in Plano and riding into Mockingbird station.  We do a similar thing for the State Fair. It’s always been fine.

I just don't know how keen they are to drinking, setting up grills, cornhole, etc. in the DART parking lots.

      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.

      SMU's Last Bowl Win...

      The Mean Green have won 130 conference championships, including 34 since 2000. SMU has been on probation five times between 1974 and 1985, and seven times overall—

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      These players had already chosen to get a free education at a given school when they first committed and they should have factored their degree options/quality into that decision. Now, if after playing for a while, an offer to a BETTER UNIVERSITY (not FB team) for their career is now being offered, then transferring is a valid choice. However, I doubt that is much of a decision factor in the majority of transfers. BTW here's an interesting NCAA site that provides data on graduation, majors, etc. Click on the columns to view different breakdowns, i.e. By Sport. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2018/5/15/division-i-diploma-dashboard.aspx Also, the NCAA claims that graduation rates have been trending up since the reforms in 2002. While this may be true, I suspect it also has to a lot to do with the general increase in college graduation due to the introduction of numerous less-rigorous majors. More information can be found at the additional links found on the following page: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/11/20/media-center-di-graduation-rates-remain-at-highest-level.aspx https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/gradrates/2024/2024D1RES_GSRTrends.pdf
