Geez!

Geez! "One of these things doesn't go together-One of these things just doesn't belong"

It just dawned on me that we are ten years away from the 100th anniversary of SMU football. I wonder if that is enough time for us to string together ten more "great moments" to fill out that future "greatest moments" list.

Would you prefer the 1982 Cotton Bowl win be number 84? There are not 90 "greatest moments" all with the same level of signifcance in SMU history and if you are going to totally ignor everything accompolished since the DP, then you are just mean as MM65 claims. The great moments of the 80's that you are hungering for aren't going to show up at the bottom of the list. So once again...chill out.

Upcoming #83 From 1991, Strength coach Grizz Zimmerman sells bumper plates from the weight room to buy more iron weights

Only if you consider the moments that got us the death penalty and put us in a downward spiral from which we have not recovered as "great."

I believe there were 90 greater monents than #84 and #85.

Obviously the person who had the task of putting the list togther thought there were 84 and 83 greater moments which is why they were #85 and #84. What the hell, give us your 84th and 85th pick.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Northridge even fields a football team any more.

So far 4 of the 7 top moments are post-DP…..get real.

The problem with ‘Top’ lists is they are typically skewed towards the contemporary. Bennett’s first victory is of no more significance than any other SMU coaches’ first victory, yet I suspect his will be the only one recognized.

And for the record, my selection for the all-time greatest moment…’The Pitch’

Guys, we are at the BOTTOM of the list...

Think Polaroid...see what develops before you start criticizing.

Besides, it was the LAST game played at the Cotton Bowl.

What part of the bottom of the list do you not get? Hell, most, if not all, of the post dp moments are going to be at the bottom of the list...where they belong at this point in time.

And for the record, I think Doak winning the Hiesman Award (the only SMU player to do so) and our National Championship have to be the top two greatest moments.

Nope. They quit in 2001. We scared 'em out the sport!

PK-have you been elected chief of propaganda. Seriously, do you really think that a victory over a short lived Division 1-AA program at home is one of the Top 90 moments in SMU history. Don't defend the asinine. BTW I'll definitely vote the "Throw-Back" (Blane Smith to Bobby Leach at Tech) over the Pitch(McIllhenney to James at UT) as Number One but I would love to hear someone who was at that 1935 SMU-TCU game describe the insanity of Bob Finley's last munute TD Bomb in one of the greatest games of the Century in Texas.
