This feels like a trap game to me. Yes, both SMU and NT will get their heads handed to them the week prior but I think Mack Brown will be out to prove a point because Texas will not be ranked in the top 4 to start the season. SMU may get pounded but they'll "hand in there" better than we will and will come to Fouts with a modicum of confidence and a chip on their shoulder. We, on the other hand, will be "lucky to be on the same field as UT" as Dickey will put it.

If our players work their a$$ off between now and the end of August, they can make a respectable showing in Austin. If they don't, I really won't care whether they beat SMU or not. If they do and then also beat SMU and have a winning record overall I will shower my life's savings on UNT, and not just for athletics. I urge everyone else to make the same kind of offer: a significant increase in contributions, including those for academics, based on those achievements.

I'm increasing contributions now, but I'm not going to sustain them if they can't get ready with over 6 months to prepare. Likewise, I urge anyone else, who's not giving everything they can, to do the same. Let's make a big effort in the next few months and see what they can do.

I guess Houston and Tulsa - but those are the last two games of the year and SMU could be 0 fer at that point.  Ugly schedule for the Stangs.

Why do you think SMU may not have a win by that point of the season? They were way better than us last year. They are competitive in their conference.

Don't confuse me with an SMU fan, but I like their schedule other than the SHSU game. They have always been able to attract an Ok St. or other BCS school of that caliber to their house. Not sure why they didn't this year.

Around here, we were gaining positive momentum attendance-wise by winning. I am sure that is their plan as well.

agreed. Im going to say that they will be a contender for their division next year. I dont think we win this game and its gonna really piss me off. Hope Im wrong, but I have to agree with Emmitt. Too many question marks before this game, and I dont know how many answers we will get in front of 84k at DKR the week before.

      We are going to Idaho!

      Way too early for bowl location speculation. Hell the playoff is still on the table for us if we run the table. And if all the higher ranked G5 lose more games than we do on the way to a AAC title we still might get in. Don't get me wrong I won't scoff at being bowl eligible but I want an AAC title game appearance to get excited about post season football.

      Getting Close To Being Ranked (Army, Navy)

      I think the difference I have seen is the defense. When we went to Lubbock, this defense was in shambles. That's not to say they are world beaters or can hang with major programs, but I have to admit, they look different. I think the next 2 games will show a lot more.

      UNT ranked #7 in Texas!

      DCTF - Note: Teams are measured against the overall strength of their conference. 1. Texas Longhorns 5 - 0 Texas was idle in Week 6 ahead of the Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma. The Longhorns should be the No. 1 ranked team in the country by Monday afternoon. 2. Texas A&M Aggies 5 - 1 Conner Weigman and Nic Scourton led the Aggies to a statement victory at home over Mizzou. Texas A&M is 3-0 in SEC play and on a 5-game winning streak. 3. SMU Mustangs 5 - 1 The Ponies are in ACC contention after consecutive wins over Florida State and Louisville. Kevin Jennings passed for over 200 yards and rushed for over 100 in Week 6. 4. Texas Tech Red Raiders 5 - 1 Tahj Brooks topped 100 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown in a late-night victory at Arizona for an important road win. 5. Sam Houston Bearkats 5 - 1 Sam Houston thumped UTEP on the road to start its march towards a Conference USA title in Year 2 as an FBS program. K.C. Keeler deserves his flowers. 6. North Texas Mean Green 4 - 1 The Mean Green was idle in Week 6. They continue conference play this weekend on the road at FAU. 7. Texas State Bobcats 3 - 2 Texas State stopped a two-game losing streak with a rare road win at Troy. The Bobcats remain in Sun Belt Conference contention. 8. Houston Cougars 2 - 4 A road win over TCU propels the Coogs up the list despite a losing record. Zeon Chriss looked tremendous in his first start as Houston's quarterback. 9. TCU Horned Frogs 3 - 3 TCU has lost three of its last four games after the home defeat to Houston. Penalties and turnovers are dooming the Frogs. 10. Baylor Bears 2 - 4 Baylor is now 0-4 against Big 12 foes in 2024 even though the Week 2 defeat at Utah doesn't technically count as a conference loss. 11. UTSA Roadrunners 2 - 3 UTSA gets a chance to right the ship in Week 7 against Rice. The Roadrunners were idle on Saturday. 12. Rice Owls 1 - 4 The Owls had a much-needed weekend off to regroup following the Charlotte loss in Week 5. 13. UTEP Miners 0 - 5 Scotty Walden's group remains winless after five games of his tenure. The second half of the schedule is much easier than the first six games. #13
