9/5 SMU vs TX State

Whats the consensus on the SMU performance at TX State? 

I think we all lost interest as our game tonight started, but TX State held it close to the exalted P6 SMU/Dallas Show Ponies.  As I remember it last season, as "good" as SMU was, they weren't blowing teams out, even AAC teams they were supposed to be much better than.  I also understand TX State had a lot of transfers, but I still wasn't expecting much from them.

I'm sure SMU will come in swinging.  Maybe our only saving grace is there's not much tape on Mean Bean, but I still think our DL and OL rarely rise to the level of our opponents (they do like to fall to the level of our opponents if they're worse, ala Houston Baptist).

I hate getting embarrassed by SMU almost every year.

You know that NT has beat SMU 4 games to 1 in the last five games in Denton.

Since the end of WW2 we are 14-5 against Southern Meth.  Since 2000, we are 5-3.

Add one to the win column in 2 weeks.

Hate to spoil the fun, but your numbers are backwards. We are 5-14 vs SMU since WW2, 3-5 since 2000. Also, 1-4 in our last 5 matchups. We’ve only beaten them 6 times total (6-32-1)

I blanked out on the rest of that. I’m just here to affirm that Mean Bean™️ is in and String Bean™️ is out.
