  1. Just ramblin’, man... I’ve mellowed out some concerning SMU. Age they say will do such with most. I think it has with me (to an extent). • SMU? Hellsbells! As a youth I once went to an Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl game in the Astrodome & even pulled for SMU! Both DFW area school’s fans have done (since the 70’s when I was a student) way too much “my dad is bigger than your dad” along with all the socio-economic & class warfare tommyrot. (Hey! It’s a private university vs. a pubic university so isn’t that the norm most everywhere in the NCAA)? ➡️ This: SMU students & fans have yet to recover from the SWC implosion; that is, of not having UT, TAMU, TTech & Baylor coming to Dallas every other football season with all the fanfare the visitors annually brought to Dallas. All that was a luxury SMU had for a very long time & a luxury North Texas never had. It is what it is. Still, in the eyes of many on the Hilltop we are a reminder to what they no longer have; albeit we know we’re hardly chopped liver. (Didn’t we beat Texas❤️🖤Tech In Lubbock last 2 of 3 times we teed it up)? In our society today, some may spend a lifetime trying to get over huge setbacks or loss & show it in many various ways ranging from being downright childish & immature or (preferably)—merely accepting reality & the cards given them & then choosing the much more mature role of accepting to bloom where planted. The annual SMU vs North Texas shootout is just one game on each school’s football schedule. Yet maybe we of UNT should try more to understand where SMU (& UH to an extent) were during a pretty big chunk of each school’s respective NCAA football history? That is, to be in such a lofty NCAA football neighborhood & then to be suddenly forced out of it? How would any of us Mean Greeners have felt had something similar been snatched from us? (Yes, the demotion to 1-AA was tough, but not what SMU & UH had to endure). To bloom where planted really turns out to be the only choice for many non-P5 schools until the NCAA football powers-that-be loosen up their ties & come up with new opportunities for G5’s to move up. So without further ramblin’—this Saturday it’s North Texas at SMU. Can all our fans & alums put the past behind (since we can’t change it) & fans from both schools go support their players who (for their school) love & play this game that is pretty important to them in this present era so...To SMU & UNT Fans 💙❤️—💚🖤➡️ Your players this Saturday will appreciate your support more than you’d know & sitting in your seats at Gerald J. Ford Stadium will prove your support for each Mustang & Mean Green Eagle. (After all, these are 18-21 year old kids we’re talking about here & if you think about it—they’ll be the ones laying it all on the field so isn’t this really about them)? GMG!

  5. Sorry to disagree Plummer, but many of us older fans suffered when NT dropped down a division in 1981(?). Many of us simply quit following NT football. Oh, a casual glance at the Sunday paper football scores. Couple that with poor leadership at the top at NT. We went through hell during those 1AA years(yes, there were some highs), and to some extent, during the climb back to FBS in 1995. Again, poor leadership at the top. We finally have the right mix and the results speak for themselves. But the bottom line is this: Screw SMU and UH!! I don't give a rats ass about those schools and hope we beat and pound the living dog shit out of them! GO MEAN GREEN!

  6. SMU fans always seem very bent on what they can't control. UH and UNT fans embrace what they have, and keep fighting for more. It's why we're trending up and SMU is fighting to hold on. Any kind of rivalry aside, I do wish them luck. They just need to show up for SMU football, regardless of who's sitting across from them. When another school like us, UH, Texas Tech, etc comes to their stadium and automatically fills half of it, it's time for some introspection.

  8. There once was a football team called the ponies, who dreamt of days when they rostered some cronies. Along came the Mean Green, that unstoppable machine, and exposed them all as phonies.

  11. Don't get me wrong, I hate SMU more than George Dunham does....And I remember all too well when SMU came crashing down. By that time I was at UNT and bleeding green. But in my teenage years, yeah - I was on board with the entire Pony Express campaign. It was a huge draw in town, alot of excitement....Honestly, now when I see "Pony Excess" on ESPN 30 for 30, I really do kinda say to myself "geez, enough is enough, it's over...." And the reason I say that is to Plumm's original post. If that had happened to UNT, and dragged on for over 30 years, it would start get really old....Some of the players on that team have grandkids now. My point is, it was a long time ago, and it was a reason for a decline in their program....WAS....What I dont agree with now is when people out there say it's STILL the reason they're not continuously successful, nobody comes to the games, dont get the play with the big boys, whaaa whaaa whaa... When is SMU going to stop using that excuse and take a hard look at their program, attendance, wins, etc and really clean house? They can bash UNT all they want...And sure, we're not in the Big 12...But we've stayed the course for many years and always keep trying to climb the ladder and improve the program, even with a few steps backwards at times. Some of us get impatient and always want more, but holy cow, when I think about where we were 20 years ago, compared to now....We're getting there... Keep climbing....

  19. I am for anything that adds fun to the gameday atmosphere. I wish they would have postgame concerts, especially classic rock groups like the ones that appear at regional festivals; REO Speedwagon, Huey Lewis & News, Gin Bloosoms, Poison, Loverboy etc... That stuff is campy and certainly dated, but still a whole lot of fun.

  20. There’s no doubt that being a fan at SMU from the 80’s would be the worst “payoff” ever. You literally bought players or supported a program that did in the SWC with a team that was ranked very highly with it’s paid players. You then deservedly got the Death Penalty for 2 years, came back with a roster that looked like a 1-aa squad for the next 5 years, then got left behind by the Big XII. Then, to pour salt all over your self-induced wounds, TCU flies by you and does all it can to never be in a conference with you again, all while having several top 10 finishes. Yes, you kept UH as an instate conference mate. But your stuck at our level of play now. We never got one tenth of one percent of the conference setup SMU has had, and we basically died from that blackballing. Everything we have now has been earned on our own, while everything SMU has was bought and paid for from its SWC existence. Welcome to the other side of the tracks, SMU...you deserve every lost fan, media, and $$$ you have earned since 1986. Suck on that...

  24. UNT has an enrollment of 37,000 students, and an enormous alumni base in the metroplex. There is ZERO excuse, to not fill every seat in Ford Stadium. SMU is a small school, and their fans will not show up for this. Terrific opportunity for UNT.

  25. That's what I was thinking. Fine may be working behind the scenes on a "slice pass", or the "hard draw pass" that will officially place him at the top of the Heisman list and winning that prestigious award.

  30. I agree, but for those not wanting to drop $40 a ticket, I think this is awesome. The fans will head to Dallas, those curious or on the fence can now go to a fun event on the square. Denton has never, ever done anything like this, so I think this is an incredible step in the right direction.

Whatever happen to the Look a like thread A player of theirs looks like a loaf of bread, Their Corner back Erik Sutton Will go Mad when Bussey pushes his Button, There will be an injury to WR Rashee Rice When our DB's Make him pay the Price, Their running back is big and kind of looks like a pig, A tremble will over come TE Carson Welch When He hears Hambone's Belch, I feel Bad for Coach Dykes Because we are about to stomp em with our spikes, It's Time to win big in Dallas, So we can tear down SMU's Idea of a Golden Palace! It's not a Haiku I know, But I'll try again tomorrow

  35. Let me get this straight . . . I should feel pity for SMU . . . because they were in the SWC and we weren't . . . in part because they allegedly fought every effort for our admission? O.K. I really don't hate them for any other reason than the fact that they're kinda fun to hate. But I have a hard time feeling sorry for them, especially considering the fact that we've been dealt some pretty tough hands ourselves.

  37. Yeah, Trinity Hall is at Mockingbird Station. Walk up the stairs, go past the Angelika, and it's right there, next to the entrance to Twin Peaks. Didn't someone die here during last year's film festival? It's an easy walk to the stadium, but that is a pretty dangerous area, and it will be busy AF on Saturday. There are a bunch of shuttles there at Mockingbird Station that will take you right up to the stadium. I'll be Boulevard-ing (ugh, I sound so douchey) with my SMU friends, proudly wearing my Mean Green...and stealing watches and wallets.
