Just a little post, herewith, to officially begin the "Smack Down Talk" regarding those little guys from the "Hilltop Over There" when they visit Fouts Field this September 9th!

They'll be bringing their little 60 piece Mustang Band! I remember when they were pretty good. But that was way yonder in the past! So, now The Green Brigade will outshine those little band guys (and both girls), not to mention their (gasp, gag)

Dancing Whatevers with outfits you would only see on Harry Hines.

It will be the renewal of a fierce rivalry that has been dormant for 13 years. SMU's only visit to Fouts Field was 1990! The brawl just before halftime was grreeaaat! We beat those Mustangs 14-7. Scott Davis rushed for 214 yards in the victory!

GO! MEAN GREEN!

I remember last year at this time many Greenies screaming that they were going to dismantle the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

If my memory serves me correct the final score was:

Tulsa 54

N. Texas 2

HerdOn, you are so correct. Tulsa dismantled us in our home opener last fall. It was not funny at all. However, please remember that SMU's only trip to Fouts Field was a 14-7 defeat (a Win for the Mean Green). More importantly, we did not the services of Jamario Thomas in 1990. He is back and 100%. He barely played at all last year due to hamstring injuries. PLus, last fall, we were inexperienced and had troubles on defense. That was last year. This is this year. Fear the difference if I was you and your Mustangs!

I seem to remember last year that Tulsa won the C-USA championship and beat Fresno St. in the Liberty Bowl.  While that defeat hurt...it came to a decent team (which SMU is NOT!).

And I've heard multiple Frog fans say that if they had just not fallen asleep against SMU in a game they obviously should have won...they would have been thinking BCS. Congrats on the upset.

May we hope that UT has as little respect for us as TCU did for SMU......and a BIG upset occurs....

TCU had just defeated Oklahoma on TV and thought they were invincable. SMU showed otherwise and TCU woke up won the rest.

With out Vince, is UT inVINCEable now??? I would smile at a TCU-type season, beat UT, lose to SMU, and win the rest. Pass the Green cool-aid.

yeah pass the green for sure, but I dont think its kool-aid you are smoking... laugh.gif

and I dont have a MA in longhornfanology, but if I had to guess, I would say they have less respect for us as a competitive program than OU did for TCU. I will say that if Texas's QB play is anywhere near as awful as OU's was in their opener against TCU, i like our chances to cover the spread.

SMU will be a tough game for us. last year nobody thought much of Tulsa in the beginning of the year. Well we all know how that turned out... and SMU played Tulsa pretty well

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
