Thank you SMU SID for sharing this. Although I watched with a lump in my throat, it was nice to see this tribute to such a fine man.

Wow, what a great tribute to a wonderful man. After watching this ceremony you realize how lucky we were to have Coach Gansz even if it was for just one year. His impact on the players and people he came in contact with will never end.

And I'm getting a completely different error message although it could be due to my work server...

Very moving speeches.

Sorry guys. I couldn't get it to work, either. This was something that was set up external to the Athletic Department, but I know the people in charge had tested it thoroughly. I'm guessing there was just too much traffic, which is a testament to how many lives Coach Gansz touched. If and when we get a copy of the service, I will post on SMUMustangs. Apologies.

Still doesn't work...

That was an awesome film, June had of Frank, on his very last practice at SMU. I believe that SMU, was very blessed to have Frank Gansz for one short year on the Hilltop.

Actually, it does work. I just checked it again and it looks like Alex watched it, too. Must be user error :wink:

(I kid, MexMustang)

If you keep having trouble, we'll have it uploaded on SMUMustangs soon. I just wanted to get it out there as soon as possible.

Worked for me too. Broke my heart to watch it.

by **Mexmustang** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 11:05 am

Finally got it to work by deleting all the letters and symbols before the word "bear" and not replacing them with any other letters.

It was tough to watch, what a loss to SMU, what a life and legacy...

Everyone should put aside some time and watch this.

Could not agree more. I defy anyone not to be profoundly moved by June and Thomas' speeches.

This was very emotional for me. I didn't know him that well but like I said when I first heard he was on life support he was a special Man that made each person feel like that they really counted from what I heard from my son. I felt that from the moment I met him. And after I watch this he was that kind of person to all his family and friends. He was motivating, inspirational and most of all a really genuine person. I'm a mother and would hope that my son can take his life and use it to his advantage. We both enjoy watching it.
