It is a college football rivalry game between the Southern Methodist University Mustangs football team and the University of North Texas Mean Green football team, two universities in Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.

If they'd like to play on a Safeway parking lot ... just give us a date and time." SMU leads the series 35–6–1, as the series had three major hiatuses since its original start. T ...
