I was looking at the SMU board, and noticed that the Ponies were predicted by FOXSPORTS to go 7-5. One of the wins predicted was against NT. If I knew how, I would post it here, but I can't.

Someone please, check out Ponyfans.com and post here.

Thanks

It is what it is....a prediction. If the Ponies win then it certainly wont be a shocker and to tell you the truth it really wont even be an absolute bummer because after starting the season off 0-2 last year they really put things together and finished the season pretty well. I just hope for a good game and the icing on the cake would be a NT win.

"SMU defeats North Texas"

You mean we've already lost before we even play the game?

For the UNT game, look for the Stangs to run thru the tunnel of Ford Stadium & out onto the gridiron much like Santa Anna's Mexican army did when they stormed the Alamo on Day 13 but............aren't we all mostly glad Todd Dodge is the Mean Green HFC who many of us anticipate (for this game) will play the role of Sam Houston who along with his Texicans will show up quite impressively (and effectively) in this Battle at the Ford over in University Park, Texas.

PS: But good golly Miss Molly, with this revelation and prediction from FOXSPORTS, surely SMU is not expecting us to just forfeit the game, right?:([/i]

It'd be cool when the MG has the game in the bag, the Green Brigade could fire up "Deguello". B)

Sam Houston wasn't at the Alamo, but I sure like his results at San Jacinto. Slaughtered the Santa Anna's army in 15 minutes during their siesta. Maybe we could catch them sleeping, too!

If Plumm says Sam Houston was at the Alamo, then he was at the Alamo. The history books are wrong.

---That depends on how you look at it (spin it). Texans lose 181 men..... Mexicans well over a thousand. In the meantime Houston increased the size of his army. You could also say this "victory?" caused Santa Anna to become "very overconfident" and even he and his troops later dared to take a nap in midafternoon knowing that he had Houston trapped about a mile away.

Part II: Never give up.!!.... Fannin did at Goliad---- see what happened to him... the Mexican army marched them out of town and just shot them.

________

Personally I hope the SMU-gang just think they just have to show up in order to win and that last year was a complete fluke.. It will make them even more depressed to lose to us under those conditions...

___________

"Remember the Alamo and all the disrespect shown by SMU all these years!" This battle will take more than 18 minutes*.!!

*we can hope after 18 minutes that we can be many points ahead and after that we are just shooting the stragglers that are in hiding and fleeing... LOL.

      What is this program missing?

      I think even if one of the seasons with Mason Fine had been an 11-1 or 12-0 season, it wouldn't have made a long term difference. We would not have enough alumni support to continue building off that.

      What is this program missing?

      IMO, the main issue is fan support. We have a very loyal core group with lots of fun things such as the canon, the Model T car, the "North Texas" chant ... but that core group is too small. Previous administrations spent decades tamping down any enthusiasm for sports at UNT, leaving it an after thought for many alumni. It would be much easier to recruit and high great coaches if we had 25k at each game and a community that really backed the teams. Suppose we had beat Navy, went on the beat Army, and finished the year with 10 wins. I don't think that would move the needle much for next year. It would be very difficult to have enough winning seasons to slowly build a winning tradition. Long story, short ... winning at football just isn't important to enough students and alumni. I will agree with others that having our own Boone Pickens would be a great benefit if they could give a lot and have patience. I just don't see that person walking through the door anytime soon.

      Bumping because his name keeps getting thrown into the hat. Can someone please explain the appeal of Carthel for DC and exclude any “coach in waiting” argument?

      Is Chandler Morris healthy?

      Not nearly as accurately as he was before the Tulane hit.

      What is this program missing?

      Simple. UNT has never won the conference and doesn't have a signature win that captured the nation attention. No 2-10 Arkansas doesn't count. UNT also needs a Heisman Candidate to be the face of the team. It was ALMOST there with Mason Fine but it was squandered, opportunity after opportunity keep being missed. Until UNT has a marketable face of the team, actually take down P4 opponents and win the conference, the same story will keep repeating itself. UCF had Blake Bortles take them to the Fiesta Bowl and a big run followed by Milton McKenzie beating Auburn. Boise had Kellen Moore, Jared Zanbranski and others followed with wins over Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc. Cincinatti had a 14-0 run to the Sugar Bowl followed by back to back undefeated runs with Desmond Ridder. Houston had a great 2011 run with Case Keenum where we beat UCLA and Penn State in a January Bowl Game. In 2009 we beat #5 Oklahoma State and Texas Tech back to back. In 2015 with Greg Ward Jr, we went 13-1, beat Louisville, Vanderbilt, ranked Navy, ranked Memphis, ranked Temple in the AAC Championship and Florida State in the Peach Bowl 2016, we had Ward back and Ed Oliver and beat Top 5 Oklahoma and Top 5 Louisville on National TV.
