'65 said: "My father (God rest his soul) would take me to the Cotton Bowl to watch S.M.U. football games during the day or night, wet or dry weather, hot or cold weather, etc. He would MAKE me sit in the seat and watch the game! He would EXPLAIN the game to me and what was happening. I LEARNED! Football games should be a fun, learning environment, not a baby-sitting service."


Gosh! I would have loved to have met your dad, '65. By the way, I like the way you typed "S.M.U.". The NYT is probably the only publication that still does that.

BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

Thank you, NavyCrimson. I'm sure Dad would have enjoyed meeting you, too. He was the penultimate S.M.U. fan. I can only hope to be half the S.M.U. fan that he was.

(I just opened myself up for a LOT of jokes, didn't I?)

I type S.M.U. because that's the CORRECT way to abbreviate Southern Methodist University, according to the Associated Press Style Book. Some reporters never die. They just lose their font.

It's also how my license plates read: S.M.U.

Hey, my 10-year-old and I were watching the Wisconsin-Miami (Fla.) bowl game. On a reception on the sideline, she looked at me and said, "Dad, you know you only need one foot in bounds for it to be a catch in college.''

Of course, this is the same one back in 2007 who looked at me and said, "they're not tackling Dad.''

Maybe your daughter can be the new Metrosports sideline commentator. She seems to know more than the current sideline chick.
