Announcers Just Said This is a 100 Year Old Rivalry

Postby SMU21TCU10 » Sat Sep 06, 2014 11:02 am

Wtf? Our only rivals are TCU and Rice. What is this? Isn't the overall record 28-4?

We were in the SWC until the mid 90s. UNT was 1-AA until then.

"North Texas has won both meetings right here in this stadium"

No, we haven't played them at Apogee before

Was Rice ever really a rival?

All of this "rivalry" nonsense feels more like UNT marketing.

I've been getting Google alerts about SMU football coming from articles and newspapers in the Denton area.

Sort of explains the random spew of 1-time accounts of people talking trash.

They have said the rivalry thing about 15 times now. When there was pushing they said "THAT HAPPENS IN A RIVALRY GAME!"

If UNT gave me a degree I would immediately take a [deleted] and wipe my @$$ with it!

this will become a rivalry because UNT will continue to kick our tails until we get a coach in here that realizes football is a physical game

No it won't because people have to care about the game for it to be a rivalry. Us losing to them a bunch won't make anyone on this side start caring (see all those post DP losses to Rice in front of tumbleweeds). Those stands I saw today weren't rivalry-worthy.
