I remember when
Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2006 6:53 pmI remember when Forrest Gregg was a football hero as a player for SMU. We had plenty back then. More importantly, I remember what he brought to SMU as the head coach and AD when SMU resurrected football after the DP - respect and hope for the future. If only Pye had not run him off, we might have survived the breakup of the SWC. Happy birthday coach. Your memory is as dear to me as Doak's.
Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2006 8:48 pmI will always remember this quote by FG at this year's kick-off luncheon: "SMU can win! SMU will win!"
Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2006 9:19 pmNot to rain on the parade, but he also said it would be "a lot less than ten" years to return to the Cotton Bowl when he was hired. Too bad he was way off on that one.
10 years under FG adn we would ahve been in the Cotton Bowl
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 11:42 amIf SMU had given FG ten years, the ponies would have been in the Cotton Bowl. Maybe, just maybe, the SWC would have survived with a strong SMU program under Greg.
