Don Meredith, the greatest SMU quarterback ever, is 69 years old today.

Also party animal extraordinaire. I hear his participation in panty raids was legendary.

When the women would see him they would exclaim..."Turn out the lights...the panties rover".

He was indeed, a well-rounded guy.
But I doubt he needed to go on panty-raids.
He probably had to beat the ladies away with a stick.

...wonder if that would've gotten him suspended for the UTEP game

I wuz Dere! Saw nearly all of Dandy Don's Games. He was, without a doubt, the most exciting football player I have ever seen. When we failed to win the national championship in..what year?..58? 9? Sports Illustrated had an article about us and called it "The failure of the star system" They had a cartoon showing Meredith running for his life from opposing linemen while OUR offensive line lay on the grass pulling up daisies saying "Let Meredith do it". Too much publicity prior to the season everyone thought. Anyway, he could do it all (almost!)

speaking of Dandy Don...I finally found my Dandy Don old school SMU helmet, had to pay a pretty penny to get it signed, but it will be worth it

I would have signed it for half the price.

I would have never signed it for free. But then again, I am not your dad.
