I can't remember another Dallas mayor who has supported SMU as visibly and vocally as Mayor Johnson. Kudos.

I am pretty sure SMU alum Jack Evans twitter game would have been solid if Twitter were around in the early 80s when he was Mayor.

And don't forget Robert Folsom (below #84) - also early 80s Dallas Mayor - played football with Doak at SMU.

SMU ran the Mayor's office in those years. No SMU alum has come anywhere close since then - which is why we all appreciate Mayor Johnson for his support.

Did SMU reach out to him? Or other way around?
Either way -- love it.
