oh, my mistake Eagle. Didn't even notice you were a UNT fan. Congrats on having a team with some upward momentum.

Understandable. Who has time to read past the first sentence of a post when you can jump to a conclusion and criticize someone?

All good and thank you. Looking forward to the head to head series with you guys starting next season.

For those who keep arguing that we should play a competitive schedule non-conference...




The average Joe doesn't give a crap who your wins are against. They just see the bottom line.

We should absolutely play a competitive OOC schedule because that's who the average Joe in Dallas cares about. The average Joe in Dallas doesn't give a crap about a bottom line that includes a bunch of fake wins over nobodies (see SMU attendance 2009-2013). Rice and NTSU have good teams this year and they'd both beat us but that doesn't mean we should emulate their scheduling strategies.

Don't you see? Rice hasn't beaten any decent teams this year, and you are claiming they are "good". That is the value of playing a weak non-conference schedule.

Rice draws flies to their football games (both in the stands and on TV) so ultimately it doesn't really matter if anyone claims they're "good" or not. That's why ultimately there's no value in weak OOC scheduling.

I've said it before...tcu feasted mostly on poor to avg conference opponents and mostly weak OOC competition. The majority of our OOC wins were aginst schools like vandy, northwestern, navy, iowa state, etc. We did beat Tech once and we won at Clemson but those were not the norm.

SMU needs to win 10+ games for 3-4 yrs and then worry about ramping up the ooc schedule.

Is not Mccarney a well documented wife beating misogynist? Think SMU could do without this type individual.

NTSU can keep that guy.

So Rice is in the same boat as SMU?

Correct. Granted the allegations date back to the early 90's, but that still isn't the guy you'd want to represent SMU.
