The last time we beat Tech. 13-7 in Lubbock.

Yeah that was a great day-the bomb had been dropped 6 days earlier-surprising we came to play that day. The next week when reality set in it was Arkansas 41-SMU 0.

I think #28 Terrell was the back that day, Jeff Atkins problems had begun to surface.

It was overcast and slightly rainy that day if I remember correctly.

It certainly was not that big compared to the one that was given out on February 6, 1987. It's hard to say that the boosters $61,000 was well spent - given the pain of the last 20 years!!!!

Has anybody seen Sherwood lately?

Were you? I think I can answer that, uh... no.

(I sure was..... but barely.... those are some of my earliest memories. I was four when I froze my keister off with my family to watch the Ponies beat Marino and Pitt.)

A Michigan booster gave 10 times that amount, $616,000, to four players and it certainly hasn't set their program back the way it has SMU's.
