wouldnt of played if he came here because of the golden leg of T Moore

I played on the Argyle High school soccer team with this kid. He's got that natural athletic talent for sure, where he masters any sport he plays. SMU is lucky to get him, But I'm not going to say best of luck to him. Because I wish eternal bad luck on the pony princesses.

Makes sense for him to be close to his family and still have a chance to play. Wish he would've chosen the Frogs instead but they have an all-conference kicker too. SMU was the only place in the 'plex he had a chance to play. His only competition at SMUg will be two freshmen.

Sorry. I'm going to call this a slap in the face. Is a North Texas head coach going to sit at Ford Stadium wearing a Southern Meth shirt ?

He's able to kick in FBS.
He wants to move closer to home.
He's not good enough to beat out Moore here or Oberkrom @ TCU.

So why can't he play at SMU? Not a "slap in the face", and I certainly hope coach Hedlund sports some SMU gear to support his own son on 9/12... are you serious?

I think any proud UT, A&M, SMU, UNT, Tech, TCU dad would wear their rival school T-shirt in the stands cheering on his son out on the field. Family always comes before rivalry code.

Here's what you guys can say:

For every drive UNT scores a TD you can wish a defensive stop and a field goal for him. 7-3 each time. See, I'm empathetic to your UNT cheering cause

Good news for John. He's a great coach, man, has raised successful kids. If my girls went to SMU and graduated I'd be proud too, and I cheer for my kids no matter what. We'll still beat the sh$t out of that team in September but that's beside the point.

Come on Dad, you and me both would wear our hearts on our sleeve for our babies! You and I would be a fan boys for our kids. I'd be torn but would want my kid to fight and win.

Sidebar, I had some beers with a family who all went to SMU tonight at Henry's Tavern and they had nothing but praise for UNT. They were involved in the program too. They were pure class acts.

yeah, though it's not that unusual for a family member to cheer for their son and another team at the same time. I seem to recall a couple of people wearing a jersey that was seen together from two halves, one from each school.
