That was the first SMU game I recall seeing (on TV from Michigan.)

Oh, and you forgot to mention that we can always "Pick the Ponies" to "show how smart we are." :hmm:

Toss up: SMU v. the Teasips in 1965 (Mustangs win, 30-14 for Homecoming!) or the Bluebonnet Bowl against the Sooners (I was there!)

And Mike Romo. And the undersized linemen who fought their hearts out that day. And Coach Gregg for having the faith in SMU to take on the monumental task of re-starting the program. That game is a game I'll never forget, and Coach Gregg will always be one of the greatest of all Mustangs.

gotta be the win against Dan marino's Pitt Panthers to seal an unbeaten season...only to finish #2 behind Penn State in the polls. I think we had something like 14 guys on that team who went on to play in the NFL.

The 1983 Cotton Bowl has to be my all-time favorite too, Charleston. Half-frozen in a half-empty stadium. Temperature never got above 35 degrees, and the drizzle turned to sleet in the second half. My son (now 29 but 8 years old at the time) endured it all like a good trooper. Lance McIlhenny's fourth quarter touchdown insantly turned him into a lifelong Mustang. My father, who was at SMU during the Walker/Rote days, was also there, so it made for a memorable family occasion.

One of the best games that I recall having witnessed wasn't a win but rather a tie. It was the 1994 game against A&M at the Alamodome that resulted in a 21-21 tie. I seem to recall that game was listed by SI as being the "upset of the year." After that game, it was so funny seeing and making fun of the poor aggies on the Riverwalk who couldn't handle taking a tie from SMU. To them, it was pretty much a loss.
