is this true?

When North Texas played SMU in the Fall of 1974, North Texas lost 7-6. After the game, the administration doors were found painted red and blue. This eventually led to the idea of the current tower lights. Talons installed the spotlights on McConnell tower on November 10, 1977.

Yep. They're still lit after every NT win, home or away. Hopefully we'll be able to light them after a home game this fall.

I have heard rumors of a cannon fired after North Texas scores. Can this be confirmed as well?

We had such a surplus of materials after last season that we've decided to spend the money elsewhere.

i knew that the tower was shaded with green after a win but after last year i forgot. but what realy got my eye was that some SMU thugs painted the doors blue and red.

I seem to recall that they spray painted "SMU" on the columns at the entrance of the Administration building. I never heard that they painted to doors.

Can you use "SMU" and "Thugs" in the same sentence?

Quoner?

No, you can't. Its on the banned list.

You can use punks, goons, no-goodniks, rapscallions, anti-Christs, putzes, and taint-jugglers*, though.

*By no means do I mean the slang term "taint" that is just not worthwhile here - see Dodgeball ("We're going to get our taints handed to us.") for context. Rather, I mean a shortened version of the word constraint, which is this context, means a person who juggles the constraints. This applies to SMU's cheating history. They used to cheat at stuff and got caught. Now they suck and can't cheat anymore. We never cheated, but sucked back then and were in I-AA. In your face, you Mustang rapscallions!

---It is worth noting that we got put I-AA largely because we were prevented from being a SWC member because of the SMU vote and their efforts to convince others that we bad for the SWC [ actually bad for SMU because we would take metroplex attention away from them ]-----they feared us and still do which partially explains their attitude toward us.

---1988... SMU went 0-0 because they were kicked out of the NCAA,meanwhile we went 8-4 in I-AA and owned wins over TxTech and Rice...plus.... we should have owned a Univ. of Texas win as well but lost after at least a half-dozen terrible ref. calls in Austin.

I think "ruffians" would be most appropriate.

[VideoEagle]

I would not call SMU students "thugs" ever.

As far as painting the Ad Building, they probably sent their chauffeurs to do it as it would require both manual labor and hand/eye coordination.
