First SMU Game You Attended?

[spothhb]

I am pretty sure this is not my first game. But my favorite game was SMU-TCU from 67. I wnet with a friend whose Dad taught at Perkins. We sat waaayyy up at Amon Carter with a bunch of SMU faculty. Guess I was 10.

Steve Judy was unstoppable for most of the game and TCU had a lead until the 4th quarter. Rufus Cormier made some great stops from his DL spot and Jerry Levias ran back a punt for a TD. SMU won.

Cannot remember if Livingston or Hixson was the QB.

I also remember the Wake Forrest game with I believe the wishbone backfield of Maxson and Morris. Was Bobo the QB then or was that later?

Without looking it up, I think it was 1978 at the Cotton Bowl against Ohio State. I was a senior in high school.

Well that explains a lot about about your ignorant comments. You've never watched a real College Football team.

grow up [deleted].

SMU vs. UT-Arlington, I think

My bad it was 68...

Sept. 12, 1970 -- a 28 - 11 loss to OU at the Cotton Bowl.

Those were the good old days when the Administration didn't concern themselves with students heading to the game on chartered buses loaded with multiple kegs of beer.

The beer was Coors; this also being a time in which those of from points east never drove home without a case or two in the trunk. Folks were thristy in Atlanta and there was beer in Texarkana.

If it was at Amon Carter and with Judy it would have been 68. Hixson would have been QB.

**EDIT** Actually Judy was TCU QB 1969-1971 so I am not sure which year you were there. But we played at Amon Cater in 1968 and Hixson was our QB.

1991 SMU v. Baylor...we lost. But then I traveled to the Tulane game in NOLA and we won it that year. Very nice.

1965 Purdue game. Dad was coaching high school ball in Kansas and had an open week so we drove to Dallas to see the Ponies tie the #1 ranked Boilermakers with Bob Griese.

I was four-years-old and don't remember a single thing.

My first was 1984, 85 (need help with the year) when Don King was the QB when the Mustangs played UNLV out in the Silver Bowl. Think SMU won the game. King was pretty fun to watch.

I talked with some SMU fans at the game. That was when I got to know more about the school and came away impressed.

My first awareness of SMU was long time ago (in the 60s). My brother played for Purdue when they played the Mustangs in Dallas. He is the reason I went to SMU (he thinks it's one of the best campuses anywhere). I then watched & rooted for the likes of Jerry Levias, Gary Hammond, and Chuck Hixson after that.

The first game I went to was '76 TCU game (we won so many over them in those days it wasn't considered a rivalry). Hot, Hot, Hot in the Cotton Bowl. It was Ron Meyer's first game (my brother played when Ron was and assistant at Purdue).

Many years as a fan, who now looks on from a distance. Hope the school knows many of us would be more involved with the school if the athletic program was more successful and had a higher profile across the country.

1991 -- SMU at Arkansas in LR. We played em tough, but the Hogs weren't good that year. We lost 17-6. As I recall, we did lead 6-0 early on. Mike Romo had 5 interceptions.

Easy, Dennis Partee's last second field goal to beat Texas in Austin, 1962. Photo is in the '63 year book. Texas all-time big-ego recruit fumbles the ball as quarterback while trying to run out the clock. With seconds left the ponies take to a spot for the successful field goal.

[that's great raplh]

1990 Southern Methodist 44 Vanderbilt 7 Dallas at Ownby

we beat them so bad my freshman year, me and smupony94 left early and snuck into the fare

[Stallion]

did Partee have two game winning FGs to beat UT because I think you may be describing the 1966 Championship game in Austin. Wasn't even eligible in 1962 was he?
