DB D!ck Daniels. He wore #45 for the ‘66 and ‘67 seasons, switching to #21 in ‘68. I think he was traded to the Bears after that.

Did not recall those uniforms lasting much beyond the 1st couple of seasons. By '66 & '67 I thought they had adopted the "good guys wear white" home uniforms. I remember little Eddie LeBaron in those original unis before Meredith took over

have seen all qb's from Walker, Benners etc up to todays qbs. hard to say which is better because of different situations. i.e. competition- Benners played against teams like Ohio St., ND etc. todays qb don't have that level of competition so comparing all of them is difficult.

I recognize Frank Clarke and Don Perkins in that photo but who was # 45?

It was LG Dupre a running back out of Baylor. Had to google that squad.

I guess you didn't get LG's autograph because he was a Baylor guy. In that same time frame or a few years earlier, the Dallas Texans were winning the AFL Championship and I got autographs from QB Cotton Davidson and RB/Flanker Abner Haynes at an event held at Walnut Hill Methodist Church. Fond memories of our youth!

Plenty of loyal SMU fossils on the board, some of us more regularly than others!

The average age on boards like this trends ancient, which is the same as it is on the Duke boards. The kids (including those in their 30s) are elsewhere.

I know I didn't have time for this when I was in my 30's and busy working to support a family (of course Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet). I got hooked about the time I turned 50 and now in retirement there's time for helping with the grands, golfing when I can and following SMU sports

I’m 56 and my first memories of the Cowboys include Staubach, Pugh, Neeley, Lee Roy Jordan, Nye,
Garrison. And good old Craig Morton losing the starting QB battle. Man, those Landry teams were fun.

I am the old parent on the Progressive commerical..
“protect you from becoming your parents”
my daughter howls at the connection. It is spot on.

I moved to KC very shortly after the Texans became the Chiefs. Jerry Mays was a good friend and frat brother. I lived close to him in KC and often ran into him at social events, shopping etc.
A really good fball player who left us way too early.

Two QBs we don't hear mentioned enough: Ricky Wesson an SOC grad who led the SWC in total offense and touchdown passes one year. He played for the Chiefs and then went to Canada. Keith Bobo who was drafted by the Cowboys.

also Lance McIlhenny was not mentioned. Not a great passer but was hell on wheels when it came to the option play.
