For those players, players' parents and young alumni students on this board:
When the great Michael Bowen speaks about the heart shown by the Mustangs, he's worth listening to. He signed with SMU, went to Georgia during the DP years and came back for his senior season. Here's a guy who played WR and returned punts, wasn't that big, wasn't a burner of a sprinter, but the man was as tough as any player I've ever seen in the red and blue. I remember seeing some Longhorn (I think -- maybe it was against Arkansas or A&M .... whoever it was was a hell of a lot bigger than #17) blast him like a bird that got in front of a train, and Bowen hopped up like he hadn't been touched. And of course, he was the emotional leader (or at least one of them) for the 1989 team. He'll always be remembered as the man who caught the winning touchdown in The Miracle on Mockinbird. Bowen epitomized the characteristics he's describing in his posts here. If he sees those qualities in our current Mustangs, then those qualities are there.
Hey Bo, come back to Dallas for a game!
