Never claimed to have widespread support in Dallas?  You twatwaffles LITERALLY call yourselves "Dallas's Team", and have those ludicrous jerseys with "Dallas" on them and the City of Dallas logo on the helmet. 

Beat me to it, and thank you. 

Also, they do claim to have great attendance. It's at the bottom of their boxscore. It's a lie, but they claim it.

Agreed. One of the great mysteries as a Mean Green fan has always been our willingness to overlook or make excuses for our own attendance issues.

Because we really don’t have them in football.  We get the attendance the on the field performance earns.  And when a coach craps the bed in the most anticipated and highly attended home games and bowl games he gets extensions here.   What is wrong with you students and fans not excited to see a program hovering just below .500 since, No Conference Championships and lost all its bowl games by double digits since the 2014 season?  🤦🏽‍♂️

You have "North Texas" on your jersey. Who's geographic aspirations are more reasonable?

Here's a great article on how the ACC move went down. Doesn't sound like attendance was part of the discussion

As much as it pains me to see SMU leave us after a year, there's nothing we can do about it. Money talks. Money allows you to take huge swings like what SMU is doing. 

Seems like academics plays a bit too. While we've certainly gotten better, do people think of us as an academic school in the vain they might of Texas, A&M, Rice or SMU?

With a 2 billion endowment.  What's UNT's again?

Jesus. Why do you charge so much for the same classes then? Greedy much? Thought Jesus had some things to say about that. Imagine how little percentage of that could feed and shelter the homeless at 75 & Mockingbird.

You charge what the market will pay.  Applications are up 3x in the past five years and average ACT/SAT are the best of any school in the state exclusive of Rice.  So the supply for a very limited number of new students is being more than met by demand.  Simple economics.

Only the Southern Methodists.  I'll leave it ambiguous whether we mean all Methodists that are southern or if we only want the Southern Methodist denomination

Oh cool. So only those who still belong to the splinter church that was formed to keep slavery intact.

Don't you miss your fake friends on the little pony board? I think you should go there after school and make up with them.

I would guess most Methodists wish you would drop that from your name since SMU has become synonymous with hookers, coke and cheating.
