Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2009 10:12 amWow, 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.

Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2009 11:57 amSorry 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.

Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2009 10:16 pmThat 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
(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.

Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 11:05 amFinally 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...

Could not agree more. I defy anyone not to be profoundly moved by June and Thomas' speeches.
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 11:24 amThis 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.
