SMU makes SI Top Ten list (Helmets)

7. Southern Methodist University -- It's another horse, this one a red mustang on a blue background, and it's neither bucking nor modestly sized. Still, the helmet evokes a simpler time, back when the Eric Dickerson-Craig James Pony Express was rolling in the early '80s. It was a time before "death penalty" meant anything in a college sports context. It was a time when SMU was actually good, and the Southwest Conference still existed. Those days are gone now, of course, but the mustang is still on the helmet
