No matter who plays at the Cotton Bowl Classic...

...SMU will always get top-billing! My 3 stepdaughters were at today's game and they said at the very beginning of the game, the PA announcer said, "Welcome to the Cotton Bowl, the House that Doak Walker Built!"

Of course, my stepdaughters know who Doak is. They've been raised right. Sadly, I wonder how many folks in the Cotton Bowl today said to themselves, "Who's Doak Walker?" :(

That is because the PA announcer was the great Bill Melton!

Good god, that guy is still announcing?
Interesting -- I wonder who the last person was to call him "great." He wasn't horrible, but I've never heard someone more in love with his own voice. That guy would probably read a phone book out loud just so he could hear himself talk. Give me Dan Bell any day -- no contest.
