Good easy win against a good UNT team.  ArkSt beat UNLV badly today, too.  

The mighty Bobcats come to town next week, and then @TCU the next week will be the first real test.

We're running the table on these American conference pussies. 

(jk but this is the best we've looked since my first season as a fan when we went 1-11)

We might give frog a ballgame.

Well...

God... and a decent offensive line. 

(God’s pass blocking has been extremely suspect the last few years and Shane got the shit knocked out of him on several occasions.

It's amazing how old Shane is and still never  seemed to put on an ounce of muscle. I understand he's not built like Sam and was never really a big kid, but damn he still looks flimsy. I always hoped he'd put on some weight like Colt did when he was here, I see it never came. But anyway, glad he's doing well, hope he plays at least decent against the best defense he'll probably face this year.

The trophy for TCU v SMU should be something more DFW centric.  Giant can of hairspray or something.

With the respective student and alumni bases, a giant Needless Markup credit card would be about right...

Dude could have had a shitty attitude when Sam was named the starter; he could have announced an immediate transfer and saved a year of eligibility.  Instead he manned up, played the season, got his degree from UT, and then made the choice for playing time.  Dude is a lifetime Longhorn, even if his playing career didn’t end here....

Connelly rates Boo the fourth-best QB transfer for the 2019 season to date.

Quote

4. Shane Buechele (SMU)

Offensive SP+ rating: 35.0 (27th)
Total QBR: 73.5 (27th)
Passing stats: 88-for-132 (67%), 1,159 yards, 7 TD, 4 INT (8.0 ANY/A, 73.5 Total QBR)
Rushing stats: 15 carries, 89 yards (5.9), 1 TD

After a mediocre first season under Sonny Dykes, SMU came into 2019 with minimal expectations. My SP+ ratings had them 91st overall and 91st on offense, with just a 51% chance of reaching bowl eligibility.

Now? Following the Mustangs' upset of TCU on Saturday, they have a 100% chance of bowl eligibility, and they're up to 43rd in SP+ and 27th on offense. Buechele has been the primary reason for the surge. He threw for 288 yards against what was looking like one of Gary Patterson's best Horned Frog defenses. It might not be hard to see why Texas' Tom Herman eventually chose Sam Ehlinger over Buechele, but the junior has plenty to offer.

Absolutely.  He deserves credit the same way Swoopes does.  They both must have been heartbroken, but they were men about it and chipped in for us when called on.

Something tells me his smoking hot cheerleader girlfriend who had yet to graduate had something to do with it.

Same goes for Heard. He handled the switch to WR gracefully and stuck around through the dumpster fire Charlie Strong years.
