Scant Wikipedia info for SMU Football

Postby SMU Cyclist » Thu Dec 17, 2009 11:46 am

Are the people who edit our SMU Football Wikepedia postings all younger than 20-25?

I just added as coaches Ray Morrison, Matty Bell and Hayden Fry, plus notable players Harry Shuford, Raymond Berry, Jerry LeVias and Lance McIlhenney. Both Coach Fry, Coach Bell, HOF player Berry and LeVias had extensive existing bios on Wikepedia (I wrote most of the LeVias bio) that should have already been linked to the SMU football link.

Very few seasons are chronicled, and the most notable season missing is the Rose Bowl season from the 30's. We should all try to fix these omissions.

I know that many school age children refer to Wikepedia. My daughter introduced Rocket Ismail to her school yesterday for the NFL's Play60 campaign, amd used a dubious Wikepedia reference to a 4.12 time in the 40 she quoted from his bio. As a development and recruiting tool, the SMU references need to show our rich history, notwithstanding the troubles in the last 25 years.

Should update the national titles in football to reflect the 81 and 82 various poll results.

Not that they we should expect anything from our athletic department, but this something they should be all over. Just another example of being Top 25 in everything we do!
