[DRC NT gets QB LOI on Woody Wilson rec'd]

Hope this year's JUCO's turn out better than those.

 

['16 DL Ivory Jackson (Amarillo)]

We should be handing out offers to every DT and DE in the state that has a lick of talent.  Add to that any QB.

[Familiarity Breeds Contempt For U N T / S M U]

If this series is continued, maybe our board should play their board in a little flag football before the actual game each year. Lets see how full of crap those smoo boys are.

Flag football?  Nah, let's play full contact.  They couldn't run in the sockless loafers and their popped collars would fall down.  Their mascot shouldn't be the Ponies, but it would still begin with P.

['16 RB Tyus Flakes (Alabama)]

INDIANA!  Stick Coach Perry on him until February and flip him.

[East Texas NT camp gets good reviews]

Nice article and nice comments about our staff and how they run these camps.

[WR Verbal Commit Thaddeous Thompson]

Does anybody know if Thad became eligible over the summer or is on campus/ in the summer workout program?

He is on the current roster

 

[MGB: Saturday satellite camp report]

Your comment just solidifies what Vito wrote.  We will probably have to be patient and that is fine, but not something us fans are terribly good at being.

 

[SMU Fans discuss UNT Game]

F SMU.  Wish nothing but failure on those Daddy's boys.  Probation U is a blight on the collegiate landscape

['16 DB Christian Davis (Waco Midway)]

Somehow I knew Billy would correct my line of thinking.  It is like sunrise and sunset...count on it.

 

[SMU Announce 2017 &19 home and home with Ark State]

By the way, TCU, SMU's mutual rival, had an understanding between ADs that the iron skillet (real rivalries have trophies) will continue indefinitely. We are only a call away from getting a home and home with any P5 opponent we want. We have Baylor coming home a year after TCU and A&M and a year after Tech. Those are SMU's peers and the teams that will come play at Ford whenever we call em. Hell, we pay Tech to come play in Dallas!

Based on fan support, those are like home games for each of those teams plus they get a trip to Dallas to recruit in your back yard.  Dallas cares nothing about SMU, a cooking utensil is not a trophy, and once again you prove that SMU wastes more money than any other school.  You ROI does not reflect well on your business school.

[SMU Announce 2017 &19 home and home with Ark State]

Why so salty?

I really don't understand some of the vitriolic garbage that is directed at SMU on this forum.  I'm married to a UNT alum and thankfully the UNT alumni I know aren't as perpetually obsessed with SMU like some of the crazies on here. Granted I don't come here often but good grief.

And guys, we (SMU) aren't going anywhere but up at the moment.  Right now we have the #44 recruiting class for 2016 with 8 of our 11 commitments holding Power 5 conference offers.  We are breaking ground of a $50M indoor practice facility in December.  We have the highest paid G5 head coach in the country in Chad Morris who is making $2.25M/year.. We have a Hall of Fame basketball coach who also makes over $2M a season. We play in a conference that yields nearly three times the TV revenue of C-USA and a basketball conference that grants us exposure with strong programs like UCONN, Memphis, Cincinnati, Temple, Tulsa, etc.  We raised more money through the Mustang Club this past year than in any previous year and double the amount of 2011 (Raised roughly $14M through donations).  SMU is wrapping up a $1 billion dollar fundraising campaign that will ensure it continues moving up in the US News & World Report rankings into the Top 50.  The average SAT of the incoming class at SMU is 1315.  Second only in the state to Rice.  Honestly, there hasn't been a better time to be associated with SMU academically or athletically in the past 30 years.  Yeah that isn't saying a ton as it has mostly been dreadful on the athletic side, but there is no question which way the winds are blowing.

 

Why the need to throw out hyperbole and insults?  

 

 

The highest paid G5 coach got you what the last few years?  Your basketball team is about to be put on probation.  Brett Shipp,from the Dallas media uncovered a grading scandal and was told to be quiet, but now the NCAA is sniffing around. SMU wastes more money than any university around in relatikn to their return on investment, and 5Aa and 6A high schools draw bigger crowds than SMU.  Morris will be gone in 4 years searching for greener pastures.

So, I guess we like Aledo now.

We can but I am jealous of their recruiting budget.

[Gavin Culberson]

Still another news outlet that thinks we are named after Joe Greene. Good job SID, good job

[What other teams do you like besides UNT?]

Followed Arkansas as a youngster because of my family. I also liked Ohio State way back when Schlitster (sp?) was their QB. Loved watching him but his gambling problems and Woodie Hayes ended all of that. Their recent AD's comments about the G5 schools solidifies my hatred of them.

Only follow NT now. 

Hate SMU because they are SMU.  I also hate UT because of all their t-shirt  fans that love them yet never took one class there.  My hatred also stems from their arrogance towards everyone else and predicting A&M's failure in the SEC. Love how the Aggies have proven them wrong. 

[MGB breaking news -- Dajon Williams no longer a part of UNT program]

So we blame the coach?  Does anyone really know what happened? I loved his talent but often wondered about his commitment to working hard which is something our coaches demand and I agree with. 

For or his sake, I hope he finds a school and finishes his degree. 

[MGB: UNT lands big man]

So does this mean Kouassi is going elsewhere?

[Wow! We need to offer this RB, ULM did]

My comparison is based on Cobbs high school production and the fact that he was basically overlooked due to his stature. In fact, we came in at the last minute to give him his only offer, if memory serves me right.   I would take a chance on another Cobbs in a heartbeat. 

[Wow! We need to offer this RB, ULM did]

Definitely worth a strong look, almost looks Dunbar ish. I will say, the teams he's doing that against are traditionally horrible, and they're tackling is atrocious, but something to be said for him running as hard as he does, and having the wheels to boot. I'd be intrigued and would definitely not mind a very strong look at this kid. 

Those numbers, that stature, that running style and that production equal Patrick Cobbs.

[Breaking news — Taylor Schoblocher leaves softball program]

RV better get to the bottom of this and quick.  This will kill recruiting.  Not impressed with this coaching staff.

[Kennesaw State grad transfer center Kouassi visiting WKU this weekend]

We are in trouble if he likes goats.

['17 DL Marvin Wilson (Bellaire Episcopal)]

Can't commit if you don't offer.

[MGB: UNT makes cut for Kouassi]

You can never have enough seize.

[Another UNT Helmet Design.......That I Like!]

I like the idea of switching the gray for black. I am not a fan of the gray uniforms that some teams have worn recently, and could see this design leading to that.

[Dallas Caravan]

In Idaho now Boise State and Denton = polar opposites. Albertson's sponsors their stadium. The whole town of nearly a quarter million is draped in orange and blue. Denton is the joke of college football. Artsy fartsy and totally backward from the metroplex. I want to see stats on alumni side attendance. I bet out of Denton is at least double the number from Denton. UNT-Dallas is grossly outdrawing UNT at the latest events I have attended. Jordan Case does a terrific job so I will attend Plano and also Denton , which is just for a laugh!

Thought you were now supporting SMU?
