Rivalry

[CMJ]

Man... I hated that movie.

Say what you will, it's still better than the John Wayne version. That was a lousy flick.

((And before some of you start going bananas for denigrating a legend, I do like John Wayne - but that was not a good movie at all))

If Bowie had followed the orders of his superiors, removed what artillery they could transport, and destroyed the Alamo, the lives of those 256 Texians needn't had been lost.

And if Santa Anna had of listened to Billy Bob Thornton, he wouldn't have gotten a$$ kicked by Dennis Quaid.

There are two sides to every coin.

[MCMLXXX]

Would the Texians have won if they were defending the Alamodome instead of the Alamo? Could Santa Ana's troops have been convinced to lay down their arms for a Bucket of Chicken? These are questions left for historians. However the issue of a rivalry must be settled by fans.

Santa Anna vs. William Barret Travis.

Now that was a rivalry, although a very short lived one

Did Santa Anna rent or own?

Doesn't matter. It was a road game for him.

It's not a rivalry if one team always wins.

[MCMLXXX]

I get it now. If the softball team had split the games with Oklahoma State it would have been a rivalry, but since we won both it is not a rivalry.

[UNT90]

Hey, Oklahoma St. Is no Tulsa...

It's not a rivalry if one team always wins.

That's why Ok State vs OU is actually not a rivalry (because 78-18-7 in favor of OU) ,but Texas vs West Virginia is (because 2-2 against one another).

The rel question is why he only fought in Texas. Those were whore battles. Where were the return trips to Mexico???

There was a return trip, it was just 10 years later after we had grown our program substantially.

Real Texans don't whore!

[DallasGreen]

According to coach, it's not a rivalry if you're getting your ass handed to you year after year. I suggest we just win one against the Texicans.

Yea remember MAC SAID SMU IS NOT A RIVAL SO UTSA MUST REALLY BE NOT A RIVAL SINCE WE HAVE NEVER BEAT THEM. It is pure MAC BS if we don't consider either one a rival! Just WIN Baby or you are just another big Loser! Prove it on the field motivate your team and win then we can talk about rivalry otherwise find a Division II RIVAL!

MGB: UTSA has a chance to complete sweep of UNT in revenue sports on Saturday

AD success right there...

[Side Show Joe]

RV mentioned, at the signing day presentation, that the student governments of UNT and UTSA were working on creating a trophy to play for each year, in order to cement a rivalry between the two schools. Apparently the leading candidate is the Sombrero Trophy. I don't know if this has been mentioned or for that matter if anyone cares. I am all in favor of a rivalry but not so much a trophy shaped like a Sombrero. I have no idea if they are seeking any input from other sources.

This is not only stupid but also offensive. Sombreros have no history in Texas, despite their promotion in San Antonio for tourists. They are a tradition of Mexico. Something like the "Chisholm Trail Trophy" would be much better, and call the series the "Range War".

I'd much prefer a rivalry trophy with Rice and/or SMU. When we joined C-USA our hopes were to develop strong rivalries with Rice, Tulsa, Tulane, and UTEP. We believed we could dominate UTSA for at least the first few seasons. Now we want to label it a rivalry. To me that is quite a stretch. Shouldn't we actually beat them before we label the series a rivalry?

For those who don't follow basketball as closely, we did finish 0-5 on the year against UTSA in the revenue sports. We also finished 0-5 on the year against UTEP in the revenue sports, for a combined 0-10 against the two University of Texas branch schools in our conference. Edited March 8, 2015 by BillySee58

So that means that we were swept by a program who's AD has said in the past that she would just as soon not have football at the school, AND we got our a$$es handed to us in football by a program that subsequently dropped football.

Here's more about UTSA's AD........

This says it all....the state of our basketball program at UNT. This torques me to no end. Damn you Rick Villareal!!!!!
