It was windy and there was sleet and rain pelting down on us. We got soaked in the upper deck. Anyway, there was a young guy with his wife and baby sitting in front of us. The child was probably 3 or 4 months old. At halftime, Mom said that she couldn't take the weather anymore and headed for the car. Dad insisted that the baby stay with him. He wanted the child to be able to say that he was there when SMU won the Cotton Bowl. I guess the kid is 25 or 26 now. Wonder what ever happened to him? Hope he will see SMU win a major bowl again in his lifetime.
That is the single most depressing post I've ever read.
Don't be faint of heart jstang. If we can get a little bit of size and speed on defense, and if JJ's wild offense takes off, I think we will be going to some sort of a bowl in the near future. It has been too painful for me to attend late season games in recent years, but if we can show some spark, I think the fans will turn out in big numbers again, and we might win back Dallas' heart. With Jerry Jones running a lunatic asylum in Arlington, why shouldn't we capture the local sports fans (and recruits) imagination?
