Random question.... but Saturday during halftime I noticed a very...enthusiastic fan on the home side waiving a license plate with "SMU" on it. Is that anyone on this board?

You haven't seen him before? Man, that guy has some energy! He should tape the license plate to a stick so he doesn't have to hold it

yes, we sat right behind him.. he sure has energy and kept us enthusiastic.... Hope he goes to every game next year!!!!! We need more fans like him.

That was Tom Rossley.

*ahem* That's me. Those are the plates that my father - who was an SMU yell leader in 1947 - obtained the first year that 'special plates' were available in Texas. I've held on to them since his passing. I still use them on the car that I inherited from him. The plate that I was holding up at the game is from 1982.

Interesting note: I brought that license plate to each game that SMU won at home this year. I don't plan to stop bringing it next year.

Thanks for the kind words. And the suggestion about the stick. Not a bad idea.

Heh, somehow I KNEW it was you.

MM1965, Thanks so much for the complements about Ryan. Of course, I think he's great , but it's nice to hear good things from other people!!!! :

The license plate is a good idea!
We need to have more folks holding up signs, for the occasions that we're actually on TV and so the players can see messages of support.

One of the Special Delivery guy's plate say's..... PONIES!!!!!!!!
