Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 11:07 amInteresting comments about Zimmerman. I didn't really know what to make of his touchdowns in the Red/Blue game, since those games often are more of a glorified practice. Clearly Willis has a lot of confidence in his receivers, and hopefully will spread the ball around a lot.

Best RB SMU has had in the Cavan or Bennett eras. Because of him, Jamal is the only person or aspect of Longhorn Football I can bring myself to root for.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:40 pmWe made a lot of progress offensively last year, but we can be better — a lot better.
Gotta love it.

Well, I will have to disagree with you there. Lets compare D-Mart's freshman year (for the 10 games he played after cracking the lineup) to ShanD's freshman year (for the 7 games he played once cracking the lineup).
D-Mart:
10 games
854 yards
7 TDs rushing
2 TDs receiving
4.6 YPC
ShanD:
7 games
860 yards
7 TDs
6.42 YPC
ShanD did his damage on a worse team than D-Mart did his on too. Give me ShanD any day. Best back we have had in the last 10 years.
Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:21 pmdiffernt style backs, differnt teams, but I hope that SMUFan is right for these next few seasons, that DeMyron is the better back . . . but I will always appreciate what ShanD did!!

Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 10:35 amI don't think the poster with the name "ShanDtheMan" is ShanDerrick himself. I might be wrong (I think it happened once in the early 1980s), but I don't think so. But I don't know ... familymember? Family friend? Port Arthur football fan?westexSMU wrote:Hey "ShanDtheMan" You were a Great Back and would have been an All-American here if you could have continued. How is your back doing ? Hope all is OK.
