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.

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

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!

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
