Re: Ira TerralI agree his number should be retired in the rafters. He and I were classmates. He had the misfortune of having to sit out a year due to one of our many NCAA issues back then, or he would have probably set many records. His senior year when the SWC discovered basketball, Arkansas, UH, SMU, and Tech were duking it out. The SWC decided to have a tournament that year to determine who went to the NCAA. Arkansas won the tournament and we won the regular season title (despite a horrific start to conference play). We went to another tournament and lost in the second round I believe. Had the NCAA tourney been 68 back then, we would have gone. I might mention that year our power forward was lost after the first semester due to academic issues, thus causing the early problems, and an All-American tight end stepped in to help, Oscar Roan who had played a little basketball his freshman year at UCLA under John Wooden. We went on a winning streak.

Re: Ira Terral
Interesting stuff--thanks for the history lesson!
Re: Ira TerralIf my mind is working, I remember that IT played in the non dunk era and during the last game of his senior year, as the game wound down, he put down a pretty sweet slam to thunderous cheers. Of course, he earned a T.
Re: Ira TerrellGreat history Pwnyxpress and Mr. Webster. Glad the SMU history is getting passed on by the guys that saw it.
If we are going to keep this thread going, as we should until he is in, we need to fix the title to spell IT's name right. An atheist is a guy who watches a Notre Dame-SMU football game and
doesn't care who wins. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower
