Note the change in tone once the commitment to NT. This illustates, despite the insistence of many that they are all swell guys, why SMU is such an easy rival.

Hey, I've spent time over at the SMOO board too. The first guy badmouthing Bellazin was basically expressing disinterest in SMU football after they lost to Washington State early in the season; "General Patton"; I guess he came back and nobody remembers him trash talking their program just a few months ago. Every program has its bandwagoners, I guess.

I for one don't care for SMU. It's nothing personal, if someone says they are from SMU I don't immediately dislike that person. But I don't root for them and wish their sports teams nothing but failure. I can't speak for myself how i would feel if UNT were once ranked highly and in the SWC, only to get kicked to the curb of the WAC, now CUSA but their ridiculous attitudes back when they were in the WAC made me dislike them more. I remembered when they were aghast that Boise State would be joining the WAC. Never mind their team was horrible and Boise was on the rise. Made me smile when Boise came to town and smacked them around.

Having said that, it's a kick in the crotch to watch them have June Jones. It was only a matter of time before they began to win, kudos to them for making that bold move. On the other hand, you got what you deserved when you hired Matt "ill be here five minutes" Doherty.

Half the fun of sports is having teams you don't like.

And I don't like'm.

I just enjoyed reading how he was a beast who could come in and dominate one minute...and then a surefire academic casualty with no talent the next. 2014 can't get here soon enough.

As did I...their fragile egos just couldn't handle the idea that a highly-regarded prospect would actually choose UNT over their precious SMU, especially on the heels of their glorious Hawai'i Bowl win.

As a relevant side note, the family and I were out viewing the HP area Christmas lights back in December. The damn GPS took me the wrong way, but it was soooo worth it when the GPS voice told me to take a left on "Smoo" Blvd!!! Everyone in the car just busted out laughing.

That's the best thing anyone has said about GPS navigation in a while.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.
