Which part did you disagree with?

Seriously? It's poorly researched and extremely biased.

He's the SMU beat writer. The name of the article was "5 things SMU fans need to know about North Texas." What did you expect?

Each of his points, (barely) translated to standard message board trolling:

SMU sucked against Baylor, but UNT sucked worse against UT-Austin.
Greer was almost a Mustang until we found something better.
Sed Ellis plays dual roles as a linebacker and a thief.
UNT D-Line is inexperienced.
It's cute that UNT thinks of SMU as a rival.

Great job and screw them.

Let them keep underestimating us. Also, If they can't see the marketing potential between the two schools, they are just blind.

Wait ... SMU's big rival is TCU? I bet TCU finds that to be "cute".

Let me tell you all you need to know about the DaMN:

Yeah, I mean, TCU might prefer to call Baylor their rival, while Baylor used to call A&M their rival. Similarly, A&M used to call UT its rival, while UT insisted OU was their rival.

Conclusions:

Aside from UH and Rice, no one in the state of Texas has a reciprocated rivarly.

Nobody cares about Texas Tech.

OU is everyone's problem.

UT would disagree.

Green P1 · September 3, 2014

1 and 5 are debatable.

Eagle1855 · September 4, 2014

UT would disagree.

With which part?

UNT90 · September 4, 2014

With which part?

I think OU reciprocates quite heavily.

3. Missing piece? Sed Ellis started and had 4 tackles against UT.

Yeah it seems like he was just trying to shoehorn a shot about him getting arrested in there Edited September 4, 2014 by meangreenthirteen

Green P1 · September 4, 2014

Well..... He is tied for the team lead in attempted TVs stolen right?

Well, they do play for a saute pan, stock pot, skillet or some other cooking utensil.

Eagle1855 · September 4, 2014

OU isn't in the state of Texas. I meant "no Texas teams have a reciprocated rivalry.. between one another"

This board is hard.

should have been "no team in the State of Texas has a reciprocated rivalry from another Texas team."

Writing is hard. ;-)

Sounds like SMU-bro is still upset that the HoD bowl was a HUGE draw for DFW, that SMU has thrown millions of dollars away on Jones with no real payoff, that the Pony Up campaign didn't do squat, and that ESPN did that Pony Excess doc.

He real mad, bros.

StealthEagle84 · September 4, 2014

Talk is cheap. Let the players do the 'talking' on the field and let the results of 4 quarters tell the story. As Jub Jub pointed out, its 2-2 in the last four and we live in a 'what have you done for lately' world. And if SMU is so high and mighty and better than us, then when we beat that ass Saturday, it will hurt that much more. I'm so glad we have the next 10 years to settle who is better on the field. Now we just have to produce and get some W's.

TCU and SMU are true rivals. Their cities are Metroplex rivals, their schools are private peers that go after similar kids, they have money, and they have history. Rice and UH are rivals because of the fact that they have continued playing each other every year since the Cougars were admitted into the SWC back in the 70s. UT and A&M will always be rivals, even if they don't play, just because of academics in this state, as well as politics. When Tech and A&M played on the field, that was a true rivalry, as well, but they don't compete academically or politically with each other like UT and A&M do.

Those are your three, true rivalries in this state.Now, Texas, Tech, Baylor, and TCU all have their rivalries because of conference affiliation,but its not as true because they don't have the same histories or competiton as those above. UTEP and UNT don't have anyone that cares about us. Being stuck as non-SWC teams for so long, we both got pretty well steam-rolled on the PR front for decades. No one will care about Texas State until they play other Texas teams in a conference--this is basically what we gave them by moving to CUSA. I do think the UNT-UTSA thin has some major potential, though. Assuming we stay in a conference together for years to come, which I think we will, and both are fairly competitive in CUSA West, which I think we will be, that last game of the year will always be played with something on the line.

I'm not mad. The guy who made the doc is a well loved SMU fan named Thad. Literally no one hates him
