SMU on A&M LB Jordan Richmond transferring to UNT

[meangreener]

And we're all stoned deadbeat art kids.

A pretty hefty disproportionate amount to most schools are.

You know what they say, We Mean Green.

I have a sour opinion of SMU because the only dude I knew who went to SMU was a rich, primadonna StuCo snob who, when asked my girlfriend where she was going and replied NT, his response was "Why aren't you going to a real school?"

He wore Sperrys.

Just sayin.

So one douche swayed your opinion into thinking everyone involved at SMU thinks the same way? That's pretty sad.

BTW who cares what he wears...lots of people wear Sperry.

We've got our fair share of douches at NT also..at least when I attended there.

[UNT90]

Ummm you would be really surprised that most of SMU actually does consist of normal human beings just like every other college in America.

And the thinking that everyone at SMU came from wealth or upper middle class families is the biggest misconception and nonsense.

You are fighting a losing battle, my friend.

That was my only interaction ever with an SMU person. He failed out, attends UH. Hopefully that will remain my only interaction.

My issue is if you are rich enough to go to a Texas private...why are you not attending TCU, Baylor or Rice? Excluding their top-tier MBA program, SMU is just...meh.

You're absolutely right and dangit I always get sucked in to these SMU threads.

Y'all take talk on here way too seriously.

Your sarcasm detector is broken.

I worked with a few people that went to SMU, and they did not fit the stereotypes. They were hardworking blue collar people. I have met plenty of the stereotypical frat sperrie wearing kids at UNT. There are stereotypes at every school.

[PlanoGreen]

If you're willing to label smu as a rich, snobby white school, then don't be angry when we get labeled as a community college for teachers, something I thought we were fighting hard to remove

Actually I think the business and engineering students outnumber the liberal arts students.

[meangreener]

Actually I think the business and engineering students outnumber the liberal arts students.

Still, we have more liberal art students in proportion to others than most schools.

Who the hell cares about SMU anyway? I couldn't care less how they view us, just like how we view them. I just couldn't give less of a shit how they view us.

The difference in how they see us and we see them is that facts back up that they're white and rich. Stats don't back up that we're commuter nor a teacher's school.

North Texas is hardly a commuter school. I think 20% live in campus housing and just about every house around campus is packed with North Texas students. Then many more students such as myself live in that 2-3 mile range away from campus. I'd bet maybe an 1/8 of the students commute, 20 miles or more.

I'm saying that it is not a commuter school...so I don't get your point?

What you said is actually pretty close to statistically accurate.

Did you know UNT90 when you were in school?

[ragpicker]

People need to remember that SMU could raid our coaching staff if they wanted. They have the one thing that matters in college football. Money.

And for those that expect UNT to roll over them on 9/6, you are in for a big surprise. That game is gonna be a dogfight.

I agree, but at least we don't have to introduce our fans to our players.

[UNTexas]

It is my understanding they are not. Otherwise you'd see a tremendous amount of poaching.

Transfers can be on scholarship the day they transfer. I know several players who did. The recieving team can't contact them while they are actively playing somewhere else. Once they are released they can offer them. The poaching is stopped that way.

Ahh, ok. Thanks for the insight.

I reluctantly have to agree. A couple of decades ago the aforementioned comment had some validity, but probably more than half the student population these days is fairly mainstream. Certainly not defending them, because when I lived in University Park around the late 80's to early 90's I certainly ran into more than a few scumbags.

[Eastwood Eagle]

Oh let me count the reasons....152 SMU home fans average at their games...need I say more? We're on the way up and they are on the way down (more down).

Would have been 157 if Craig James would have minded his own business.
