“I told them we’ve hit the bottom,” said Mason, in his seventh season as defensive coordinator until Jones resigned Monday citing personal issues. “You can’t get any lower than what happened last Saturday, so we’ve got nowhere to go but up."

What a moron, they have PLENTY lower to go. Their starting QB against UNT is out for the season and the backup was injured too. They host A$M next Saturday, that could be 80-0.
Follow that with TCU and at East Carolina. They have a LOT further to FALL this fall. icon_mrgreen.gif

Yes, losing to A$M and TCU are much worse than losing to UNT :rolleyes1:

Common sense tells me that starting a season 0-6 is even closer to the bottom than starting a season 0-2.

But I don't know. I'm receiving my education from UNT so maybe I don't undertand how the world works. ;)

Losing to UNT establishes a lower minimum as it is now guaranteed to go 0-6.

Your UNT education isn't failing you, it's just two ways to say the same thing. At this

point losses to TCU and A$M don't dip any lower.

Starting 0-6, maybe even 0-7 (bc Memphis isn't a guaranteed W) is far worse than 0-2. North Texas would beat a lot of teams in the AAC. So enjoy losing to AAC teams of lesser competition in comparison to North Texas. GMG

What else are they going to say after getting killed by us. They know how important this game was for recruiting here in DFW and they are trying to undermind the win. Classic move. Truth is the bottom has yet to be hit

SMU- The program the American Athletic Conference had to invite.

I was thinking about that conference as a whole today. Seems like a lot of the teams are really struggling. I wonder if the travel has really hit their wallets and their fatigue harder than they anticipated, especially now that there's no BCS money to reduce the sting.

The way most of your alums think, Saturday was the lowest point in the history of the program, because, gasp, SMU got blown out by UNT.

What they don't realize is that they would get blown out by WKU, LaLa, La. Tech, Ark St. And just about every other team in CUSA and the Sun Belt.

They have a SWC appetite with Sun Belt talent. Very delusional.

They get killed by any Sun Bet team. Might have a shot against McNeese State or Stephen F. Austin. But neither of those are more than 50 percent.

SMUT:

noun

1.
a particle of soot; sooty matter.
2.
a black or dirty mark; smudge.
3.
indecent language or publications; obscenity.
4.
Plant Pathology.
  1. a disease of plants, especially cereal grasses, characterized by the conversion of affected parts into black, powdery masses of spores, caused by fungi of the order Ustilaginales.
  2. a fungus causing this disease.

Just to be clear, which of these are you calling us? I don't get the SMUT calling other than being lazy and adding a T.

I already say SMOO/$MU too so I'd like to add this to my vernacular with the appropriate meaning. :D

After the complete and total ass kicking we gave you guys, I'm suprised you would even venture back over here. Need a few new flutes to play or something?

You guys are fun. Don't I get to hang out with fun people? :(

Don't kid yourself. smu is pretty much guaranteed to go 0-12. If you don't beat TCU, who in the hell are you going to beat? I realize that there are some downright awful teams in the AAC, but I am not sure smu is in a position to beat any of them now without their coach and starting QB.

Your a good egg. Hang around.

Those folks on pony fans really need a dose of reality as to where SMU actually stands in the pecking order of college football, though.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.

      SMU's Last Bowl Win...

      The Mean Green have won 130 conference championships, including 34 since 2000. SMU has been on probation five times between 1974 and 1985, and seven times overall—

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      These players had already chosen to get a free education at a given school when they first committed and they should have factored their degree options/quality into that decision. Now, if after playing for a while, an offer to a BETTER UNIVERSITY (not FB team) for their career is now being offered, then transferring is a valid choice. However, I doubt that is much of a decision factor in the majority of transfers. BTW here's an interesting NCAA site that provides data on graduation, majors, etc. Click on the columns to view different breakdowns, i.e. By Sport. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2018/5/15/division-i-diploma-dashboard.aspx Also, the NCAA claims that graduation rates have been trending up since the reforms in 2002. While this may be true, I suspect it also has to a lot to do with the general increase in college graduation due to the introduction of numerous less-rigorous majors. More information can be found at the additional links found on the following page: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/11/20/media-center-di-graduation-rates-remain-at-highest-level.aspx https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/gradrates/2024/2024D1RES_GSRTrends.pdf
