Did he start or go in because of an injury or the starting QB was ineffective? Who was SMU playing against when Flanigan took the field for the first time? :devil:

Dan Freiberger was actually the starting QB that year. It was against Tulane. Dan had gotten injured and Ramon came in and played. If I remember correctly, he also got hurt as well, a thumb injury to his throwing hand.

I believe RF's injury was against his present employer - the green mean machine to the North

suckas can be wrong & so can T

You may be right. I don't remember all that much but I could have sworn he got hurt in that game and gutted it out. The only thing I remember was that it was the first game that I ever marched in as a member of the Mustang Band. I do remember the game against UNT but only because Dennis Parker about nearly had a heart attack because the geeks in the UNT Band cost the football team a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct because they were playing at the wrong time. Pretty funny. Seems so loooooooooong ago. heh One other thing I do remember from that Tulane game, we lost 13-12. From what I remember we had, surprise, a real bad kicking game that cost us.

Seems like we missed about a 30 yard field goal in the last minute or so, and lost.

Flanigan got hurt in game against Tulane and we almost won it but for a FG hitting the upright on the North end zone at Ownby.

He broke his thumb or something and he got his 'first' medical redshirt

I guess I wasn't as senile as I thought. I believe the kicker that year was Russell Anderson. I think we also missed an extra point and had a kicked blocked and returned for a 2 point conversion if I remember correctly.
