Shout out to Coach Littrell

Harry · September 7, 2017

Thanks to Littrell for publicly acknowledging the importance of the SMU game for our program and our fans, alumni and students.

Coach Mac never got this and I have to ding RV as well for allowing that to happen under his watch although I do believe RV understood the importance of it.

Now I hope we will see a similar stance in the game against UTSA. For far too long we have been ignored and told after losing these games that they were no different than any other.

There was a similar position taken with UTA in basketball and I hope that will change as well.

GMG!

Winning against anything SMU, and UTA basketball, means a lot to fans in the Dallas-Fort Worth, and North Texas Region.

I agree. I noticed this during his presser and during his radio show. Kudos to him.

Now with UTA basketball, nah.

Call this game a rivalry, dont call it a rivalry but this game is of high importance for DFW recruiting and for the view of this program in the State of Texas

I am very happy that Littrell shows how important this game is

But then we would never have gotten Dunham's SMU game rant. :)

Oh yea when do they face Putin State this year?

Marty · September 7, 2017

Right, Mac would never acknowledge it, said it's not a rivalry unless we start winning.

I've basically learned the following path pretty well defines Texas' FBS football's totem pole:

Texas State hates UTSA, who hates us, who hates SMU, who hates TCU, who hates Baylor, who hates Texas Tech, who hates Texas A&M, who hates Texas...basically everyone hates Texas, A&M, and Tech, but its where this ends...

Any coach you hire should recognize this fairly easily...

So true...It's always been a problem of perception. SMU is always going to be quick to dismiss UNT as not up their level.....I assure you, if UNT beats SMU, at home, suddenly this game will become VERY important to SMU from now on....

Is everyone doing their part to attend this game? We have 6 in our group...

If we win, here is SMUt's reaction.

They will try to buy out the remainder of the series.

Doubtful. They love the crowd we bring to Ford... $$$

This. Evidenced by the radio ads for tomorrow's game I've heard lately. No doubt paid for by SMU, yet pander to both schools. Featuring the vocal tones of Mark Cuban and the Dallas mayor.

Meh, we don't bring the TCU crowds or other P5 they've been hustling in there.

Winning this game helps us more than it hurts SMU.

I'm thinking the next time we beat them (hopefully that's tomorrow), they fire Chad Morris and go nuclear trying to figure out how to outbid the $12 million a year Nick Saban gets at Alabama.

How many more people does TCU bring? I find it hard to believe they bring more than us.

That's actually really good and really accurate.
