I was shocked GMG went this long without talking about a) the attendance of this game B) overtaking the lead at home to an FCS team with 12 seconds left.

Anyone watching will tell you SMU was hand gifted that game. A 30 yard pass interface on MSU with less than a minute left was the difference maker.... Defender never even touched the WR

I will care about them when we play them next time. I care about our team. But damn those are low numbers...

Do we play them at home next season?

sadly, I think they were still lying. From the video and pictures I saw, I don't think there were more than 6k at Ford

I am sure people bought tickets that weren't there and with temperatures lately I can't say I don't blame them. However, I sweated it out at Idaho and will do so again Saturday. Edited by UNTexas

I was listening to that 4th quarter, and it really sounded unreal. As in an extra 6-7 figures to get out of town with a loss unreal. Seriously, it just had that feel to it.

Why is this on our football board?

Um they're a future football opponent of ours for like 12 years?? They reside in the same area?

It's 9/11....God Bless America.

On Topic:

Shouldn't we really fix our own first and a good start for that would be this Saturday afternoon at 3:00 PM.?

SMU was once a great program we all (silently) or even publicly admired--maybe a bit envious, too, if we'd admit it?. They were in a conference many of us would have given our first born child (if I had one) to be part of.

I can no longer laugh at someone elses hard times when I know we've had a few of our own and still do. I guess all this change from me comes from just getting older, probably a whole bunch being less stupid and just knowing by the age timeline so many of us just have fewer Mean Green rodeos that we'll be a part of.

No, not time to sing Rock of Ages, but beginning to hear the chimes in the distant background. Who can ever know how distant, though? :)

God Bless America...today is 9/11.

It means they are no longer lying when reporting their attendance.

The funny thing is, I popped on over to their board to see their comments about it and many of them are saying "oh, they way under estimated. There were much more than 10K there." They can't believe how innacurate the attendance counters were. "Who is counting attendance!!"

Really funny...

I could tell you I admired them, but it'd be a bunch of bullshit.

I suspect there are as many fat cats in those ever increasing luxury boxes as there are regular fans in the stands. Could this topsy turvy situation be a microcosm for this country's greatest disparity of wealth since the great depression? Forgive me, I know that's a stretch, but silly intellectualizing can be kind of fun on this board from time to time.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
