line on SMU game

[Don Allman]

Ijust saw the line on the SMU game Saturday is UNT by 4.

[UNT90]

We are a 4 point favorite? Pony fans must be going crazy right now. Lol.

Take the home field advantage away and it means bettors see this game as more or less even.

Yep, which will also drive those guys batty.

Are the Vegas bookies betting dollars or whores?

[Harry]

I hate when they call is that. It's just extremely disrespectful.

Did you see the reply? Something along the lines of, "Is that the teachers college op the road?"

You know, nothing like trying to trash talk from behind a keyboard, and having fingers so fat that they press a key two keys over.

Meh. It was the name of the university for most of the time I attended (you, too, right?). I have never seen the big deal with it.

[CaribbeanGreen]

standard issue college trash talk doesn't offend me one iota, considering everyone does it. But when "stlhockeyguy02" opens his mouth on twitter, THE GLOVES ARE OFF!!!!1!!

[nana21]

The American Athletic Conference is a joke.

June Jones doesn't care and neither do I. #SMU #firejunejones

Then there was this gem on ponyfans, "In typical smu fashion, our measuring stick is against the crap of the ncaa. No, the UNT game is not "very important". We are irrelevant. Who cares"

If we are considered "the crap of the NCAA", and typically your measuring stick is against that, then what does that say about your program and should you really be talking?

[NT03]

SMU can at least hang their hat on being a basketball school

[greenit]

Of course they have posters that take on the same persona as some on here, but I was surprised at the amount of their posters that are picking UNT to win. Seemed about 50/50 at the time I read it.

Their past several recruiting classes have been rated higher than ours according to the services, but we know that does not always guarantee a better team. However, this will be no cakewalk. Their defense looked pretty reasonable once you are able to get past the Baylor team they were trying to stop (it still feels weird to type those words about a team and knowing that the team is Baylor). I suspect we will have our hands full.

Also, Coach Mac built a somewhat smaller, but faster defense. Presumably to keep up with the spread offenses we face in CUSA. SMU will be a good test of our defense's capability to cover the spread/run and shoot.

Should be a fun game.

[emmitt01]

Wow, we have managed to quote their entire fan base in one thread.

@Keith_Whitmire When SMU faces off against UNT, it will be like a BYU frat party - scoreless, boring, and pointless. #firejunejones

It will be a "hands full" game on both sides. I predict a low score affair.

Also, this Line is all we care about(Prescott Line ):

Prescott Line is the most SMU name to ever SMU. If he doesn't someday have "& Associates" after his name, he's doing it wrong.

Have at it

Hayden Greenbauer is one that you will need to pay attention to. He is a Safety and plays with all his heart. I would

compare his work with the unicorn DB from UNT.

[malonish]

Don't forget the literally former male model Myles Crosby. He hasn't played a down yet I believe but that's

pretty odd to have a male model on the team.

[Quoner]

I went to HS with our twitter villain - at least based on an AIM name from 1996. Glad to see he's doing well!

I've never related to the anti-SMU sentiment that is prevalent in our older alumni.

Something deep within me senses that if we win, we will see anti-UNT SMU douchebaggery unlike anything I've ever seen before and help me understand why you old guns love to hate them.

All that money on athletics and that hilarious "Pony Up" campaign and nothing to show for it. I know they so desperately want to be the college team of Dallas, but that's de-facto UT/A&M, then it's us and TCU. They'll never get that status so long as they remain a private school.

So you put "us" up there with TCU and ahead of SMU as the team of the metroplex?

Well, its nothing if not ambitious.
