If I ever get the chance, I'll recut this.... my notes on Vimeo:

I was asked by June Jones to put together this video for an event wherein Ron Meyer was the keynote speaker.

Self review: a lackluster editing job. (My apologies.)

I put this together in one day while working on Pony Excess and I didn't want to take one of our "pros" (editors) off of their work as we were under the gun with ESPN.

That being said, ENJOY! Plus, look at that DEFENSE!!! We wanted to show more of it in Excess but, sadly, we had to cut all of our defense love for time.

Cut line from Pony Excess (on the defense): "We was just a buncha' hound dogs lookin' for that fox... and once we found him, we'd knock 'em out!"

Saw Lance pitchout to James in a crowded UT stadium that year, sure was quiet when Craig took it in for a touchdown.

Ron Meyer is a hell of a coach.

Nicely done.
And wow, the Rice uniforms were almost dead ringers for the Cowboys home uniforms (weird sliver colored pants, white jerseys w/dark numerals and that silver helmet.

Awesome Thad - thanks.

I watched Lance run the option at HP, where I was a couple of years behind him; he ran it good at HP, but ran it just a little better at SMU pitching to Dickerson and James.

Those blue unis are the best, except for the white ones.

Bring back the blues.
