For me, I'd have to say Eric Dickerson and Walter Abercrombie.

I guess Ramon and Mick.

He was way before my time, but I met the great Doak Walker and got his autograph

the year before he died.

Way too many to remember. Lance Alworth and Eric Dickerson just for a couple.

Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson many more

Earl Campbell definitely. Roosevelt leaks was a monster but not as much of one as was Louie Kelcher. Donny Anderson at Tech. Joe Ferguson. (These are just thoughts. I named my two above)

Jerry Levias, he not only made me an SMU fan, but a college football fan. 1966 was a magical year for a team that seemed to come back every week. I used to see him on campus, but never said hello, as someone from Chicago, playing in an integrated league, I never guessed what he was going through. At the time I saw him on campus regularily, but never said hello, I thought he was too much of a star! How stupid not to know!

Eric Dickerson, simply the best back in the history of the SWC--and he played for us!

Ditto. I honestly couldn't put any other two that I saw in their class although Tommy Kramer, who played quarterback at Rice, was the best player I ever saw play high school football.

Jerry Levias and Louie Kelcher. No one dominated a defense like Louie did.

Jerry Levias v. Baylor
Earl Campbell v. everyone

Met Doak Walker when I was a kid back in the early 1960s...found out that my mom was a friend of his wife (first). He was actually at a sporting goods store on Lovers Lane as I recall.
Didn't register the full gravity of the moment until much later, but I remember him bending down and talking with me for several minutes, and signing my new shoes ( after asking my mom whether this would ' spoil them').

many more since, but those stand out...

Seeing S. Blount and D. Stanley together at Gordo's and Campisi's.

Dickerson and Campbell

Wow- lots of names come to mind- Doak ( never saw him at SMU but used to go to some of the Lions games- also met and talked with him personally), Kyle Rote, Fred Benners, Donny Anderson- TT, Donny Maegle-Rice (not sure of spelling), Dandy Don, pony express- ED and CJ, etc.

GO PONIES!!!

Jerry Levias, Dickerson and Campbell tied.

I am really glad to see Jerry Levias getting so much good will here. I still think Dickerson and Campbell are in their own class, but Levias was a dangerous game changer who made the difference over and over again.
