He will always be in my memories. Although out of the public eye since his retirement from Monday Night Footballl. Dandy Don will be missed.

Maybe our students should adopt his theme song ("The Parties Over") for our theme song for victories to honor a great player. His last personal appearance was at SMU, he even passed on the opening of Jerry World.

Turn out the lights
The party’s over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party’s over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

He was once asked why he chose to go to SMU and he said...'It was close to home and it was easy to spell"....
I also heard he was on a plane once and it was having bad engine trouble and ups and downs, looking kind of bad up there.. etc....he looked over at whoever he was flying with and said:..."....... it's been a good un"........kind of sums up his life.
