Philanthropist Madeleine Pickens' crusade to protect America's wild mustangs has some famous Texans setting aside lesser ideals like fealty to their own alma maters.

On Wednesday, she hosted a press conference at SMU to announce that her National Wild Horse Foundation would sponsor a pregame and halftime show called "Salute to the Mustangs" at the Oct. 17 game between SMU and Navy.

Joining her on the dais was her husband, T. Boone Pickens, who has spent much of his billion-plus fortune to bring top-notch football to neighboring Oklahoma State. Also present was Roger Staubach, who made his first trip to Dallas in 1962 to play SMU as quarterback of an undefeated Navy team. "We lost that game and ended up 9-1," he said.

"One of my life's passions is to protect and save America's wild horses," Madeleine said. "What better place to get out the word than in Dallas at the home of the Mustangs."

Boone and Madeleine are presenting SMU with a trained mustang, which pleases head coach June Jones. "My team wants to come out behind a mustang," he said.

The Oct. 17 spectacular will feature a salute to the armed forces with paratroopers dropping into Gerald Ford Stadium to deliver the game ball and a performance by Michael Martin Murphey, composer of "Wildfire."

The part about Michael Martin Murphy is a joke, right. Please tell me that's a joke

Salute to our Armed Forces is the only thing about this circus that is NOT a joke.

Now if someone wanted to donate a P-51 Mustang I'd be just fine with gameday flyovers.

I sure hope there isnt recruits there! Is he playing at halftime? I am really upset ...

[SmooBoy]

There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
