I’m loving the season that SMU is putting together, and I hope they get a shot against Miami on December 7.
I was a kid in Dallas when Craig James and Eric Dickerson were galloping around the Cotton Bowl, and the Pony Express teams were a ton of fun to watch. We soon learned why they were so good (thanks, Dale Hansen!), but I hardly think SMU deserved the 35 years of mediocrity that followed. It makes me happy to see the Mustangs back on top.
It’s amazing that the last time Texas played Florida was before most fans were alive! One great aspect of the new SEC is finally seeing these traditional blue blood teams meet on the field.
I feel the same way about SMU...growing up in the Dallas area I would play football in the yard with my older brother, and he would want to be Texas, and I would be SMU. Although James and Dickerson were a tick before my wheelhouse, I think Reggie Dupard is still on my Top-10 list of favorite non-Longhorns through the years.
And definitely a shame what happened to them -- especially when they were not the only ones, or even the most egregious.
Ssve your money for beers at the Scoot Inn tonight. Ha.
