Accurate except I'm White Claw Basic.

Yeah my dad knows Bo and I met him.

Who can I bum some pity freebies off of before we get kerblammoed on the field?

Most confident- gas prices are looking good so the round trip from [redacted] won't cost too much on fuel. Most worried- still pale, still afraid of the sun.

My Dad who works at Nintendo already bought me a message board about Nintendo stuff.

My bad. I usually speak Stanglish.

I'll show up just don't make fun of me too hard for all the sun screen I probably will be putting on. I burn easily. That and I'll be sad when we get blowed out on the 4th year of the 4 year cycle 😥

Thanks Mr. Evil.

I assure you that I dislike me more than any of you possibly could ❤

Even if you lose to UTEP I think the players would get up for the smoo game. Game time is worth more than a week of practice.

I live yonder in McKinney so it's no big deal to make it over. Smol correction for Irving Dreibrodt. My 1st UNT-SMOO game was 2007. Band Freshman, didn't know jack about football, don't remember a moment of it other than how it was our 1 in the 1-11 season.

It's about that time in the 4 ish year cycle for UNT to blow out ol Smoo in Denton. Do the stars align or do we make our own fate? Drama!

Howdy. I haven't been around in a few. Is it too early to be that loveable opposing fan you all remember? Thoughts on the upcoming game are that it's worrying to me that UNT gets a warmup game and we open the season at UNT with a new coach and system.

That didn't work. Can't do much if the offense won't go. Everything got deflated after that targeting call (which was shenanigans) and the dropped int finished it out. I wasn't confident but I had to be Homer on the opponent board. Nice job, good crowd. See you next year for more gmg forum shenanigans.

I may be the coolest SMU cat around here, but I don't know the inside jokes. So... idk?

Hey it's Malonish. How'd he find my tailgate spot? Guess I'll give him food.

Okay. I get it. One of you doesn't like me. Can't please everyone...

By that logic, Fine isn't very impressive because your last coach ran the ball 3 times and punted all game. I don't buy it. Both are great QBs.

An objective view: last year a worse defense for SMU kept UNT to ten points until garbage time. I expect more skill and speed on the back 7 this year with GT help at LB (sorely needed) and better people opposite Jordan Wyatt at CB. SMU WR corps will fall off a lot but also won't be forcing it to one or two guys on risky throws. Assume Fine and Hicks both improved over time so the throwers are going to be accurate. SMU keeps all running backs, UNT loses their big one but has an experienced one ready to carry the load. Last year the YPC from UNT running was pretty low so gonna be a lot of passing (32 passes to 27 runs last year). Both teams will spread the ball in the air without relying on one target too heavily. Homer view: With drop off at wide receiver but a multiple school record holder at QB delivering the ball and one of the top RB groups in our conference I have confidence that it will be a fun shoot out and I'm a homer so we win in my Kool-aid head. We also got one of the, if not the, best S&C coach in college football getting our guys stronger and faster. We might not have Mr. Jump Ball Sutton but we have proven speed at WR a little bit below the level of Quinn with some of those transfers. Heck, Quinn was a 1 year transfer so it's not instantly a negative. Our former 1000 yard RB West will be playing around at WR and RB so look for his speed to mix with the power of Jones(>1000 last year) and Freeman. Now shut up and take my money!

I meant ours 😞

The defense can't be any worse than it was last year.

Real talk time instead of my gimmick scores. The box score looks like a shootout last year but the game got to 38-10 before backups went in to allow the 21 green points. The O backups still scored. Considering offensive changes with new coach still being close to the old playbook with a little less talent at WR and a very good RB corps with the 3rd best QB in AAC I think it is nearly as good as last year. That and air raid passes are less "force it deep to Courtland" and more "find open grass." The defense can literally only get better as we were 121st in yards allowed. Ouch. The impact transfers at LB (weakest D area) with more man to man coverage in the secondary will be a different look than last year and my bet would be that it's a better D overall. I see a similar score from last year but not in an early blowout way.

I see two ways it can go. SMU 1 - UNT 0 on a rouge point in overtime or 420-69

Fly to DFW Saturday morning then drive up to the stadium.
