This is a great move on SMU's part. Retiring the numbers of SMU's greatest players will give an instant sense of history to Ford Stadium.

The numbers retired this year will be:
19 - Eric Dickerson
37 - Doak Walker
73 - Forrest Gregg
80 - Lamar Hunt
87 - Raymond Berry

Hats off to the players who gave up their jersey numbers to help facilitate this tribute.

Khalid Beard gave up #19 in exchange for #40.
Ryan Riddle gave up #80 in exchange for #14.
Judson Davis gave up #73 in exchange for #63.
Damond Blueitt, who wore #87, graduated.
And of course, nobody has been wearing #37.

Did Lamar Hunt even play football at SMU? Or is he just the ultimate supportive alumnus of the school?

How about one of the quarterbacks who helped put us back on the map -- Mike Romo or Ramon Flanigan?

I guess they're retiring a number before every game. Are they going to continue this next year?

If so, how about Jerry Levias? He meant a great deal to football at SMU, and in the Southwest Conference.
