I was w a basketball guy one year and after a couple wins they cut him off.

Watched Larry Delzell make about 13 in a row one year. I think they made him stop.

Great way for SMU to be present in the greater Dallas community. Hats off to the admin and LB for putting this together.

Many years ago, I was at the fair on the Midway and Stephen Woods and Bobby Dimson were there shooting the basketball game and they were having trouble, all the shots were barely rimming out. You could definitely tell those slightly smaller, non-round rims with no give are hard to get one to drop through. Turns that game into luck more than skill.
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!

They are swish rims. You just have to be perfect.

Went to the fair today and came across the team in the Midway area, all the players were very personable and signed my son's hat and took the time to take photos with my daughters. Go Ponys!!!

They're really for local pick-up only. We want to drive foot traffic to the places we have them. We'll have the on the Blvd. and at the game this weekend, so maybe a fellow PF.com-er can grab one and mail it to you...

Can't. NCAA rules. They feature student-athletes.
