THE GREATEST MUSTANG FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME...?

[MrMustang1965]

While we're waiting for that Spring Practice Countdown Clock to hit the ZERO's, let's have some fun! Who do you consider the GREATEST MUSTANG FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME?

Remember that you've got a LOT of history to draw from on The Hilltop!

My vote: DOAK WALKER! (SMU's ONLY Heisman trophy winner!)

Let's see who some of you vote for...just for fun!

Eric Dickerson

Eric Dickerson SHOULD have won the Heisman, too! Some guy named Hershel Walker got the nod instead...

Ramon Flanigan? He didn't play on a great team, but he was pretty remarkable, just for staying alive through the years.

[Pony4Life]

Putt Choate!

[MustangKurt20]

Don Meredith

[Nacho]

Gary Hammond. Played QB, RB and WR. Excelled at all three. Almost a modern day Doak.

Some consideration. One has to consider many things when one considers the BEST football player. Is it scoring or stats or great players at a position?

Fred Benners
Jerry Levias
Kyle Rote
Chuck Hixon; Long shot but some great years
Don Mudd; a Lineman's lineman

[PonyExpress]

With my handle, you know I'm going to go with Eric Dickerson

[Corso]

I was always a huge fan of the Carter Boys - Michael and Russell.

john hampton

[Grider]

Bobby Wilson "The Corsicana Comet"

[ponyte]

Louie Kelcher also comes to mind.

Then there is Jim "Hacksaw" Duggan whose fame really occured after Mustang football.

Raymond Berry and Forest Gregg also where great footballers.

Jerry Norton was a great all around player as well. And in the days of two way players

It is going to be a long hot summer. Why don't we do a "all-star" team for each decade? Each nomination should include a brief comment of support, so that we can refresh our memories about a great deal of Mustangs we have forgotten about? For instance, I cannot recall as single mention of the M&M backs, that really began our resurgance of our running game.
