UAB's was a strategic move; almost like a company filing for bankruptcy and reorganizing. They always planned on returning. They used it to be able to clean hose and get boosters to get behind them. Agree the 1AA is old. Our problem is after coming back there was not a commitment to building a FBS level program. Up until recently we had arguably to worst relationships with Texas HS coaches of any D1 programs in the state, and it probably wasn't even close. We wasted the opportunity with letting Dodge bring his HS staff. Seth and Wren, while the bottom line for fans is winning, have built a better foundation in the last 5 years than the previous groups combined since we returned from 1AA.

If this happens look for SMU to make a push for the MWC

If they go to 16 I would think in addition to BYU/UH/UCF/Cin they would add Memphis and maybe USF

They're taking the whole social distancing thing a little too far

Chuck Norris now calls DeAndre Torrey for advise

Question: On the last play the QB/runner also lowers his head; Why is he not charged? Why is it OK for runners to use the crown of their helmets? http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=32162521

I think they will add another Texas team - Rice or UTSA

The reason this will never happen is in the title - common sense

Nice reply. Your correct, it is very easy to find a source that will validate what you want to hear. My problem with the media is that they can lie if they want and say their sorry, or as you say be "lazy" to get clicks and there is usually no repercussion. One well placed headline can ruin a person, or organization, and putting a back-page, oops, were sorry, is BS. It seems like the industry does not feel the need to uphold standards and accountability.

And we wonder why people still question this university's commitment to football? We want to think UNT see's SMU as a rival and we don't even send our band.

He might be a piece of trash, but does that make it OK for the magazine to lie? Seems to be a lot of people on both sides are OK with the media lying as long as it supports their narratives.

SMU 48 - UNT 28

And you can say in the DFW market we are behind UT, A&M, OU, TCU, and SMU

@untjim1995These are valid points that will get some on here pissed at you, but are a reason that UTSA might move up (AAC or MWC) before we do. Much like FAU and FIU, these are "destination" cities. These are considerations, and the fact hat there are no competing teams in the market makes a big difference.

Hard to remember a time when this many of the green Nation went after a QB who won his first game after being in camp for what about a month. It's a good thing none of our previous quarterbacks ever had a bad game (nice our standards are so high that 40+ is a bad game) or we would have been switching quarterbacks four to five times per season.

People hate on him because he feels the need to trash our players he doesn't think are as good as someone he supports.

We are going to give up a lot of yards in PB's scheme. The key will be to lock down in the red zone and minimize big plays.

You honestly don't think the coaches help develop Darden?

So you don't want to give him credit for Darden but want to blame him for the others. I bet you are one of those who thought that GH was not helping the team when he was here

At one time you could use www.espn3.com Not sure if that still works

I think they said it was the 2nd hottest opening game in our history.

So they are saying they will put 49-50 up on us and we will score 23-24. Not sure I saw enough in the NWS game to disagree, but it seems a little big.

General observations Very basic on both sides of the ball Ruder first INT - was hit as he was throwing by a "watch-out" block rusher who was basically untouched. Second INT was a good play by their #3. If our DB made that same play we would all be saying what a hell of a play it was. #3 is a solid DB Several drops I understand the thought of having Money keep the kickoffs in play but if we face someone with a good return man I hope he can put it deep in the end zone. Special teams play was solid. Did not seem to be any major mistakes I liked the way the D-line rotated in and out. If Torrey is going to be the main guy at RB should he be doing the KO returns?
