The Safeway Bowl isn't a lose-lose when we're beating them. I still want to see us go to Not That Gerald Ford Stadium and put another slobber knocker on them like 43-6 in 2014.

Which is never. They pay players. They probably always have. They are better than us on the football field. Always have been, always will be. 

Playing them reminds me of the old adage of, 'It's better to let someone think you are a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt'. We can let them think they are better and pound their chests, but we have decided over the last decade to home/home them and remove all doubt.

You have too much faith in SMU's ability to not suck over time.

smu is no athletic juggernaut. But they are more athletic than us. Also, UNT players piss down their legs A LOT in this particular game. It's undefinable how or why some of our players play the way they do, specifically in this game.

Have fun being the worst team in your conference. Money can buy your way in with the big boys but not wins! At least you can look forward to making the Bottom 10 each week.

Money can buy players. And players play the game. So, money can buy wins. smu knows it can. They have a long history of doing it.

      Rubin didn’t leave UNT for NIL money

      Like I stated, some players that depart early for pro or NIL deals will be revered as a essential parts of our sports legacy for their contributions. They have earned their accolades. Others that come and go may only be regarded as productive journeymen. Unfortunately this has been the fate at other schools for many of our star players that have entered the transfer portal.

      UNT students join growing number of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US colleges

      I don’t have a dog in this hunt. That said, are we so immature that we can’t have a civil conversation about important topics?

      WINNER AND LOSER: NEW MEXICO LOBOS

      In mid-April, New Mexico coach Richard Pitino joked on Twitter (or X, whatever) that he only had to wait 15 more days until he could be mean to his players again. Two young studs, JT Toppin and Donovan Dent, were the top pieces New Mexico was trying to keep out of the transfer portal. The Lobos went 1-for-2. Pitino getting Dent back for Year 3 is tremendous. The dazzling point guard was one of the top pick-and-roll maestros in the sport last year. With Jamal Mashburn Jr. charting off to Temple and Jaelen House exhausting his eligibility, the table is set for Dent to have a monster year. His frontcourt running mate will not be joining him. Dent was an elite play-creator, and Toppin became one of his favorite play-finishers. The Mountain West Freshman of the Year averaged 12.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. He was fabulous. But Toppin entered the transfer portal in the final hour, and he's quickly become one of the top small-ball big men in the transfer portal. Toppin has boatloads of Big 12 interest. Getting a potential Mountain West Player of the Year candidate back will keep New Mexico's floor high, but the ceiling changes without Toppin. Oh, what could have been... read more: https://247sports.com/longformarticle/oregon-unc-iowa-headline-college-basketball-transfer-portal-deadline-retention-winners-losers-231218138/amp/

      NIL LOSER: VANDERBILT COMMODORES

      A coaching change always kickstarts tons of roster movement, but new Vanderbilt coach Mark Byington was less than 24 hours away from emerging from the transfer portal fracas with Ven-Allen Lubin still in the fold. It was not meant to be. The emerging, 6-foot-8 forward entered the portal on Wednesday, just hours before the deadline. Vanderbilt hoops had a frustrating season, but Lubin was the major bright spot. He elevated his game to new heights after transferring to Vanderbilt from Notre Dame. Lubin went toe-to-toe with some elite frontcourts and dominated. He had 17 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks against Auburn. He ripped Florida's intimidating frontline for 25 points and 11 rebounds. Lubin shot over 66% at the rim as an undersized center in the uber-athletic SEC. He's a beast. Lubin joins Great Osobor, Norchad Omier and Toppin as one of the premier small-ball centers on the market. He had to play the 5 at Vanderbilt, but Lubin could easily downshift to a matchup-hunting 4 at his next spot. Byington has built up depth in Vanderbilt's frontcourt with transfer additions like Jaylen Carey, Tyler Nickel and Devin McGlockton, but Lubin was primed to be near the top of the scouting report for the 'Dores in 2024-25, and now he's gone at the very last second.

      Some bowl leaders hope for CBA to help lower number of opt-outs

      I disagree that we necessarily want to see the “best guys play.” I just want to see the group of individual players* who have been playing together all season. *this is how I will now refer to “team.” Joking…kind of, but not really.
