Apparently their shootout against a team marginally better than Southern Miss solidifies them in the #8 spot with NT at #9. Their other wins coming from a 1 point victory over FCS Montana State, and 5 point win over 111th ranked Memphis.

The ball st win alone makes this ranking a joke

Meh.

This may be the lone claim the 'Stangs have to avoid complete irrelevancy this year.

JRock · October 29, 2013

The DMN ranking system is a complete joke. As well as the DMN. But I'm preaching to the choir.

golfingomez · October 29, 2013

cool story DMN...

bleedgreen4ever · October 29, 2013

They're also drinking some purple frog kool-aid. I don't think anybody with a decent mind would take such an absurd ranking system seriously.

Green Mean · October 29, 2013

Just keep on winning.

Not really DMN related, but it is close enough to their office: I almost wanted to throw up inside my car when I was driving home Saturday night from watching the North Texas game with a friend and saw Reunion Tower lit up red and blue with white SMU scrolling around it. I thought about turning around and driving up to Denton to cleanse myself with some green.

Didn't SMU have to come from behind to win their game???

At one point they were down 28-7. Obviously the fact that they came back and barely won against a team that was beaten by Idaho clearly makes them better than UNT, Texas State, and UTSA.

USM players just want to skip the tackling class and cuddle Mean Green.

That's very common on Saturdays in the fall, you must not be downtown often? They pay for that (of course)

"Tech barely edges Texas for No 3 spot" Tells you all you need to know.

They pay for it with money that Craig James should have paid his hookers with...instead of killing them.

Wait. Are you saying that CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS?

MeanGreenTexan · October 29, 2013

Isn't Belo corp. tied to SMU somehow?

Rudy · October 29, 2013

I have no proof that CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU. However, I have good information from a source who saw CRAIG JAMES KILL 5 HOOKERS. She was a 6th hooker who escaped when CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS. To this day, she is still traumatized by seeing CRAIG JAMES KILL 5 HOOKERS.

So your conjecture that CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS is based on circumstantial evidence that CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS based on the testimony of a sixth hooker who witnessed and escaped CRAIG JAMES KILLING FIVE HOOKERS?

Well, I live downtown, so yes, I am downtown basically every day and can see Reunion Tower from the roof of my building. I guess I just hadn't noticed it before--that or SMU doesn't win too much.

As to the Craig James reference, I had actually been down at the SMU Blvd. prior to (and during since so many don't go into the games there either) the game with some friends of friends one of whom played for SMU back in the 80s. I was fortunate enough to be in the in the presence of the great Craig James when he stopped by for a bit. It was the first time during the day I wanted to vomit. On a better note, Eric Dickerson stopped by as well, and that was worth getting an autograph.

PS (edit): And yes, I was wearing a Mean Green t-shirt while there.

With the new salary cap rules in place, its cheaper than paying their players.

Youre summarization of the events surrounding CRAIG JAMES KILLING 5 HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU is an accurate depiction of my evidence of CRAIG JAMES KILLING 5 HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU.

I just did a Google search to confirm the CRAIG JAMES KILLING 5 HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU was still showing up in searches. CRAIG JAMES KILLING 5 HOOKS WIHLE AT SMU still shows up 4th!

The story just below it begins with "Like a cockroach surviving nuclear winter, Craig James will not go away."

Yes, SMU pays to be lit up on top of Reunion Tower.

The Hunts own the tower and the Hunt family are pretty big smoo supporters, not sure smoo is paying anyone to light the tower.
