SMU radio announcers calling us Southlake, and generally making fun of the way we folded at the end. Roman still played VERY POORLY.

The saddest part is that Rich Phillips is a UNT grad.

I'm not sad. If you expected TD to turn a 5-20 team around in less than a year, you're crazy. Down by 2 TD's to start the fourth quarter we stayed with it and made it exciting. I expected another losing season if DD was here. We may lose a lot this year, but it was a lot more entertaining than watching DD & RF try to lull their opponents to sleep (fans, as well).

I know it is the Ticket broadcast, but I would expect a professional game presentation. Calling us Southlake is bush league.

Was it on purpose? If so that is bush league. VERY BUSH LEAGUE. But I'm not surprised when you consider the "talent" that calls the game.

I'm not sad. I am pumped. Just thinking of where this journey will take us! Just two games deep into this...wow, are we in for some fun!

I couldn't agree more after watching the game in person tonight.

Same here... NOTHING to be sad about tonight. We were two big plays away from the upset, and watching the game was a blast.

...a Dickey team would have rolled up in a corner and cried going into the 4th two scores down. This team rallied and tied the game. We're still rough around the edges, and you can tell there is still some major learning going on, but we're in for a treat once this all starts to click.

Thank you coach Todd, and THANK YOU MEAN GREEN! What a great group of guys. Smiles all around, true effort until the last snap - this team was a joy to watch and cheer for tonight!

GO MEAN GREEN!

How can you call this a sad day??? We hung in there and made a game of this! We had two players set school records. Meager had more passing yds tonight than he did all of last season.

I am excited about what I saw tonight. Call me crazy (?) but I think we can be very competitive in the SBC THIS SEASON!

Honestly, I think it's crazy that we beat this same SMU team last year. They looked like shit last year, and this team was way more prepared this time. That being said, our defense isn't even close to the one we had last year. I was real sad to see some of the assistant coaches from last year leave. I know you can't have your cake and eat it to, but to me it seems we may have traded for a high power offense (admitted it's fun to watch) and gotten rid of the head hunting, amazing defense of not too long ago.

The DD references are getting cliche, and kinda wrong. Say what you want about him, but for a while he had his bottled lightning that refused to lose and never curled in adversity.

If you take shots at him, maybe some of those guys are taking it personally? just sayin....

I completely believe in our personnel. This defense played pretty well last year, I'm just wondering where all that went? It was supposed to be our strong point this year. We proved tonight, it doesn't take "Dodge's guys" to be productive. They just need to be given some chances, and they are doing great.

If he's trying to be the George Dunham of SMU, he has to show a preference for the home team. I didn't catch his remarks, but I'm inclined to cut him some slack for that reason. And I like the fact that yet another UNT sports broadcaster is out there making a name for himself. I hope the school's RATV program is using it as a selling point.

It wasn't Rich who called us Southlake, it was the other broadcaster. A total of 4 references and Rich did point it out late in the game.

Nothing SAD at all about last night.

Indeed. We're certainly not happy about losing, but I am pleased that Dodge has this offense clicking. Still a lot of rough edges, but the future looks much brighter than it did 10 months ago!

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.

      A Big 10 vs SEC invitational College Football Playoff is of no interest to me. This will be the 2nd time Tennessee and Ohio State have played in their history. The Clemson vs Texas game will be their first matchup EVER. That to me highlights the absurdity of the out of conference scheduling for the bigger brand teams. And if Alabama went up to Penn State and got blown out exactly the same way nobody would mention it next year when they are in consideration for a wildcard spot with 2 (or maybe even 3) losses.
