Lack of Respect In Whornland

[DeepGreen]

Article in the local rag listed all of Texas' 2014 opponents recruiting highlights......well, sort of. The article highlighted 11 of the whorns 12 opponents. Guess who was not worthy of inclusion? You got it! UNT.

We are the whorns' only opponent next season that does not carry the BCS label. Just another slap in the face for our program.

Will make it sweeter when we slap them in the face.

UT and Austin is so out of touch with reality...who cares.

Are you surprised? The only way to get any respect from down in Austin is to go down there and stomp them. Even then, it's no guarantee and would probably be labeled a massive fluke.

Stomping them would be nice, but a win in any way would make them hush hush.

[correcamino]

Wait, you guys actually think you have a shot?

It's why you play the game. There were some people on this board saying the same thing to you at one point. Being overlooked can be a good thing at times.

[greenjoe]

They will be more likely to notice us if we beat them in Strong's first game.

Beat Texas

GO MEAN GREEN

It's no different than your games against Arizona and OK State.

San Antonio ISD must be closed today

[GrayEagle]

The only way that you can beat UT in Austin is to stomp them. They have their own officials and they don't lose close games.

[drex]

Gray Eagle is exactly right...you have to really dominate them, which is hard to do for a college team to dominate a pro team.

How many Longhorns does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

One, while the rest of the world revolves around him.

Let's be honest, we haven't exactly earned respect given our horrible years from 2005 to 2012. We had one winning season since 2005, and most people probably think it is a fluke. It's no surprise that the P5 folks do not consider us a threat or even a real competitor - it's actually understandable. We will earn their respect (and probably some intense anger) when we go down to Austin and whoop their arses later this year! My hope is that they overlook us, but I doubt it given that this is their new head coach's first game of the season - imagine the meltdown they will have if we pull off a win!

[SilverEagle]

Disrespecting us and being dismissive of us is just fine with me. If you think our current coaching staff won't use that to their advantage, then you've not been paying attention these last three years.

Keep it coming Whornes!

[NT03]

And we care because ????? Oh wait, wrong thread -

[forevereagle]

Do we really think that, because a local newspaper didn't cover our game, the the team is overlooking us? Does this even matter? So we are not getting much pub in Austin. We don't get much pub in DFW either. Nothing new here.

[Charlie NT 73]

Just like "forevereagle states", "Does this even matter?"

I have been following North Texas athletics for a long time. Seems to me all the

sports talking media heads like to piss us off, by calling us North Texas State, compairing

low ranking recruiting classes, North Texas stories on the last page of the sports section or in the

high school reporting sections. You know what I am talking about.

Do not let this kind of media get under your skin. Expect it for awhile.

I want North Texas to earn our respect. Beat the crap out of the whornes at their house!

The start of the real turn around! Why not North Texas!

[VideoEagle]

Who cares what is in the Statesman? If anyone thinks Coach Strong isn't aware of the first game to be played at his new job they are delusional! He knows he was hired because his predecessor DIDN'T pay attention to every game.

[DeepGreen]

Yea, you guys are right. After 43 years of following this program, I should be use to NT being ignored, no matter which "newspaper" I read. Only team out of 12 that was left out of the article. Not big deal. It's Austin. Weird, ya know.

Lack of respect on Mockingbird Lane too...I have a cousin in law that is a grad from The PONY. told a good friend of mine that he would not be going to Denton for the game since it will be a blow out and not very interesting...REALLY??

Tough smack considering they posted a losing record and their worst home attendance in recent years.

A blowout will only be possible if our defense comes back just as strong or stronger than last year, and we get a QB that can move the ball. Both unknowns right now.

He should come out, because it could actually be a pretty close loss for the ponies.

Pretty sure UNT is more respected for football as of now than SMU.

Just sayin.

That's freaking hilarious, either way.

This. It could be a close game and you never know what could happen. He shouldn't stay home assuming SMUg will get blown out. Might not happen.

Why would an SMU fan go to denton for a football game. They have everything they could want inside of a zip code bubble in Dallas that includes their own stadium and they won't even go to that.
