If you love SMU so much why don't you go marry it?

Or better yet like Grey Eagle One tells us all how they should be shown LOVE after screwing us each decade for half a century. I hope you younger posters have to do business or tolerate some of these arrogant A__Holes in the real world then you'll see how much "respect" they should be shown. They are such an academic giant that when I was in school their COBA was not even accredited. Then they got big bucks for naming rights to their business school from Ed Cox. Only catch was Ed, Jr. was just a wee bit tainted after taking down First National Bank and Republic with some "funny money" commodity trading and did a nice streatch in the state pen for his deeds. :o

Why give a crap about what SMU folks say. We can't prevent anything they say or do. We just need to worry about winning football games.

Exactly. Last year, after 7 games, SMU was at 3-4 beating powerhouses SFA and UAB (barely) for two of those. The only thing going for them at that point was that their their starting quarterback was hurt too badly to continue (I know that's brutal to say), and Jones was finally left with no choice but start a Southlake Carroll product, who probably should have been there already.

I think we can reasonably expect to see substantial improvement in the win column with the guy, or guys, who will be quarterbacking for us next season. It's amazing how a good quarterback can make a coach look smart, and all the alums who were talking before about how far down their program was start sounding like smack talking homers.

No one screwed NT in to anything. Ultimately you control your own destiny. It's been decades since they supposedly blocked us from the SWC...so what happened after that? Well going down to D1AA was very nice. Lets blame that on SMU also. We had and still have apathetic alumni...yup its all SMU's fault. Until a few years ago we had worse facilities than the YMCA except for the Super Pit...damn those Ponies its all their fault!! I've been out in the real world for a long time and associate with SMU grads and SMU people and they are no different than anybody else. I've met just as many NT douchers as I have SMU douchers and in the end.....douchery is douchery all across the board.

And when you were in school their COBA wasn't even accredited....WELL WHO GIVES A FLIP? The fact that they turned the corner and funded the hell out of that thing and today whether we like it or not it is a very well recognized and prestigious program.

Because it's easier to blame someone than take responsibility

LOL, I guess cash can't buy class. Speaking of class, it was an SMUt doucher who was taunting and cussing some Ghana fans after the World Cup game today. Ghana has nothing, but this numbnuts actually had his taint bruised enough by a Ghana fan that he had to talk crap to him.

Exactly! All we need to do is, in a couple of years, march into Ford Stadium and beat the lips off of June's little ponies. :bangin: Amazingly, smack talk by the usual SMUt suspects will drop off dramatically. :shocking:

Good thing UNT doesn't have any douchers who would ever do anything like that :rolleyes:

The bold part is confusing

Unfortunately the days that NT had a superior business school and more specially the best accounting program in Texas are long gone. NT is still competitive but they have definitely lost the edge they once had. I have had a career in finance and information systems mostly in the Dallas area for almost forty years and have had the privilege of working for, with, and employing many SMU grads. I am certainly not stating that my experience in general with SMU grads. has been any better than NT, UT or others alums, but I have not had the issues that you apparently have. SMU is a good not great school and I think it is substantially over priced for the education you get, but I could state that about most privates.

This will not be happening unless we make some serious coaching changes.

Don't underestimate the addition of Coach Chico and an influx of more talented players compared to the last time we visited Ford. Call it blind faith or overimbibing in the green kool-aid, but I believe this is the year we begin the climb to respectability and by the time the SMUt series resumes, we will be putting more talent on the field than our silver spoon friends in University Park.

Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll take my lumps. ;)

I do hope you are right, but as of now June Jones is going to win some recruiting battles.

What I like about Jones is that he offers every single player in the DFW area who is considered a 4/5 star prospect. Although he might not get them he sets himself up nicely for anyone who wants to transfer back home

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      I remember that! I still say “Scrap ‘Em”. I thought it has always been a thing.

      Morris signals it is over

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.
