huge win for the horns. great, amazing, fun football game. glad to see other SMU fans on here pull for the horns. love the ponies, pull for the horns.

I was saddened to see ut win. I don't care much for mich, but, I will NEVER root for ut. No matter what. Sad day for any Mustang fan. Just remember what ut had to do with our position today. Yes, I know we were not so right, BUT...

Go Ponies!

Two schools in Texas that I could do without: the Teasips & the Aggie$. Both are like cults.

hoofbeat83, the longhorns don't have many, if any allies here! i HATE EVERTHING about them! Any of the LONG TIME SMU fans detest the YELLOWBELLIES!

[gostangs]

i am a long time SMU fan and I do not hate UT. They are just one more big time program with all the advantages. They have underachieved for the advantages they have but they are bound to eventually get it done. Young is amazing and that was a really fun game to watch. UT usually gets worn down by big physical teams, but they hung in on this one - the more national they become the better shot at Texas recruits we get - so we should actually root for them and A&M to continue to upgrade their programs.

ithe more national they become the better shot at Texas recruits we get - so we should actually root for them and A&M to continue to upgrade their programs.

So let me get your logic down here. You think that if the Teasips and the Aggie$ become more prominent on a 'national level' that they'll be able to recruit from all over the country (as if they don't already ) and that, in turn, will help SMU and 'other schools' in Texas get the players that they don't? Please. You know, as well as I do, that any young man who wants to play football at a school like UT or A$M will seek out another 'big time' school (like the Sooners or LSU Tigers, etc.), not SMU. We will be able to get such players on our own merits when we build a winning and CLEAN program. For me to root for the Teasips or the Aggie$ would be sheer lunacy. I'll take my Mustangs and my Div. 1-AA Bearkats over those two other schools any day of the week. My integrity - as well as my sanity! - will be intact.

The Horns really hooked Michigan, way to go Texas! I went to SMU and Texas. When I was at SMU, I hated UT; but I got over it when I studied in Austin. It's nice to have at least one alma mater that wins, especailly when they have beaten the Big 10 co-champ. If the ponies could just have a wining season, I would be equally as proud of my first love - SMU.

Just another prime example of the brainwashing, cult-like atmosphere that prevails in that godforsaken place called Austin and U.T.

How sad that you don't have an 'equal' amount of pride in your first love, SMU, despite our struggles of the past. What you're saying is that you'll put SMU ahead of UT *only* when we have a winning season.

I think that UT is only the second team from Texas to play in the Rose Bowl.

SMU was the first.

You are correct, sir! Interesting how that little piece of trivia was not mentioned by the announcers today!

1936 - Stanford 7, SMU 0

not sure, but i don't think mack brown has won a conference championship in austin. they have more advantages than anyone, and do less with the most. the most arrogant SOB'S EVER!

[MrMustang1965]

No, he has not won a Big 12 championship since his arrival in Austin.

[Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex]

I don't think he's won a conference championship, period.

[LA_Mustang]

The last UT coach to win a conference championship was Johnny Mac. I don’t particularly like UT, but I have a lot of respect for them. Mack Brown is proving he’s a big-time coach. And what can you say about Vince Young? That guy is a phenomenal athlete. I believe he has more physical ability than Michael Vick and if he continues to improve (the passing part of his game), look out. Wouldn’t he look good playing on Sundays in Irving.....Arlington?
