SMU Football Trivia

[Stallion]

During what years did SMU go undefeated for 2 consecutive seasons?

[Stallion]

Since nobody is going to get this without cheating except Gerry York-I'll give you a hint-it was EITHER in mrydel's redshirt freshman year or the year SMU wore these OUTSTANDING uniforms. Damn can we get a throwback uniform like this?

If this is a trick question, the 2 years we were on the DP.

[SoCal_Pony]

When we attended, they lost 1 game in 2 years, to UT.

Always thought that was the best 2-year run in SMU history.

[Stallion]

Good guess because I never really realized the correct answer. One source has SMU as the Top team in the Country in one of those years

ANSWER: 1923 and 1924

Without looking it up, I would think only other possibility (once again a trick question) would be the season they played in the Rose Bowl. Since you said 'year', that would exclude the Rose Bowl loss. So that year & the year prior.

Still, my guess is DP, final answer.

Just saw your answer, I was close.

Apparently Wikipedia didn't include the 1925 Dixie Classic though that SMU lost 9-7 to West Virginia Wesleyan on January 1, 2015. We got screwed by the refs in that game-probably placed on probation immediately after the game by the NCAA. So I guess SoCal Pony is CORRECT Answer

...probably placed on probation immediately after the game by the NCAA

'bout right

I believe that this answer is correct...

I had a T-shirt with a Toe's Up Pony to prove it.

Trick question. One year was mrydel's Sr year, not Fr year, and the other was his 1st year post grad in the Perkins school.

Somebody please post the photo of young Mrydel helping to lay the cornerstone of Dallas Hall.
